There can be few more memorable moments than when the wizards allow the world to hear their full podcasts. So, remember where you were when full podcast number 26 was released. You were right here! (Wherever here is in your world….you get the idea). By the way, that was an introduction to what we are calling The My Space Stars with Bad Geordie Accents podcast … on reflection, not a great one (the introduction that is, the podcast is awesome (although the title might be considered a tad cumbersome.))
