(EPISODE N/A: QUICK UNSCHEDULED BREAK)
Unfortunately, there is no new episode this week because we just haven't had the resources to pull it off: a large factor was the decision of me (Mark, the author, protagonist etc) to go to Australia and then begin a Comedy Festival season here. I could have thrown something together, but it would probably have meant compromising the story, and it seems a shame to do that. The voice note here just explains all this, so having read this, I wouldn't say that you need to listen to it unless you truly ARE a completist. Anyway: normal routine will return next Sunday, April 19, with the sixteenth episode. With the following two on April 26 and May 3. Thank you for listening!Produced by Impatient Productions.
