Summary

This week The Electronic Wireless Show podcast is a bit shorter because I accidentally stopped recording in the middle of it, and then had to sort of restart. Though movie magic you will never know the difference, except I just told you. Oh no!

Plus: we reveal why James was in LA before! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
