Description
Calvin Betton calls in from Vienna, James Gray from honeymoon and George Bellshaw... is here also.
We started by answering a listener email from Blair, who asked: “I'm taking a few too many long haul flights in the next couple of months, and am looking for distraction recommendations. Which matches from the past 30 years would you recommend I download to watch? Any documentaries? I particularly enjoyed the Vilas one, so anything like that'd be great.”
Here are some links to the docs mentioned.
