  • ALLOpod Episode VII – First Episode of the Year of the Dog

    ALLOpod Episode VII – First Episode of the Year of the Dog This month’s first song is Beautiful in Grey by David Gielan (whose name I have no idea how to pronounce). But it’s the first podcast of the new year! We’ve done the maths and looks like we have an average of 400 d/ls…

  • Seahawks Madness

    For the first time ever, the Seattle Seahawks are going to the Super Bowl. I actually had the NFC championship game on and was, more or less, watching it.

It was…
