Thanks Sean. I’ll check out the stuff you mentioned, no promises about inclusion in the show though.
Also, for the record, suggestions on how to improve the show are greatly appreciated but I find promises of donations in return for specific favors regarding the content or production of the show irritating and mildly insulting.
If anyone feels that the show is worth supporting financially then that’s great but no one should think that donating should be contingent on having their personal requests fulfilled. What am I, a politician?
