Live on Morning Brew!

Thanks!

Particular thanks to Rob from www.soundbaker.com for creating and mixing the brilliant ripped up, cranked out version of the 'Star Spangled Banner' that I use at the start of the programme each week! Also to Sean from Gunslingers for website graphics and web guidance, plus to all of the guests I have interviewed for their time and trouble!
