Mon, 12 May 2008 Just wanted to let you know that we've submitted our RSS feed to iTunes to try and get listed so that people can subscribe "normally" rather than having to grab the individual episodes. At the moment the good people of the iTunes store have sent an email acknowledging the submission but nothing else. I've no idea how long this process normally takes. Rest assured we're trying!

Tue, 6 May 2008 Welcome to the world's first "UK-based-husband-and-wife-
comics-podcast-by-trade-paperback-readers-for
trade-paperback-readers-with-hosts-called-Dave-&-Ang". Yep that's
our niche and we're not letting go of it! In this, our inaugural episode, we ramble incoherently on the following topics: - Diminished expectations - The resident Whovian & the resident New-Whovian - UKTV Gold and the disappearing girlfriend - Our piles...and we don't mean haemorrhoids - Green Arrow: Year One - Shooting puffins - Dave, the cover-die whore - Team Zero - Garth Ennis's joy in violence - Bunty in the Marvel Universe - Giving Professor X a good kickin' - Recurring themes - DCU - why don't you love me?! - Psycho-analysing Alfred Pennyworth - Geoff Johns made Ang cry - Sketch plans for the Bristol Con - Pimping Fallen Heroes - Dave's love for Ace (no, not the Bathound) - The Kevin Smith story You'll notice we don't actually ever finish a topic before veering off on a tangent! If you like what you hear or would like to offer us money to never podcast again we can be contacted via email at ukdavew@gmail.com and on www.thecomicforums.com as Gargoyle and Girl Geek.
