A message just to say don't worry about the new episode. it's coming next week; the general plan has always been six episodes - break for fortnight - next six - and so on (although I did have to have *one* additional week off for being-in-Australia reasons). Episode 19 will be out next Sunday as scheduled. Also, apologies for the sound quality on this; I was lured into a cave by a wizard and probably shouldn't have done it from there, with hindsight. But again, if you've read this first, you don't even NEED to listen to it. Produced by Impatient Productions.

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.
