260 Transports of Delight: Boats.
A great show, concentrating on boats as a means of transport, with contributions from Hugh and Malaclypse and assembled by myself. For some reason the audience was slow to build and didn’t reach our usual numbers – perhaps the end of Summer had everyone laid out? Peak listeners 15, so not that bad.
