And finally, we’d just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who’s listened over the last 6 months.  We hope you had as much fun listening to us as we did making the recordings.

We’d also like to say a massive thank you to all of our guests who gave up their Friday afternoons to sit in a small recording studio with a bunch of over excited geeks - you made the show what it was and we cannot thank you enough.

We’ll be back soon with Season 2 & hope you’ll join us as we continue our podcasting adventure.

All the very best.

Paul, Carl, Elizabeth, Lyndsey & Amanda.
