Hi again.  I had a little glitch in the editing of Episode 89.  Through my error or that of the software (I am going to blame the software), when I spliced in the part I had previously recorded with Jason, I lost several minutes of the part Iris and I recorded.  What we lost included one of the bands, The Wedding Present.  Feel free to check out their latest album, El Rey, for yourself.  Thanks.  Will
