Episode 91: Reconsidering Reconciliation: Play in Popup | Download

Official PSFR note-taker Mike was on a train during this week’s show and didn’t take his usual copious notes, so I’m back to copying my pre-show notes this week. Our special guest in the studio was Alex Woolfson. Check out his recently released short film, Pitch, here.

 Episode 89: Further Than the Status Quo: Play in Popup | Download

We’re trying something new this week. PSFR listener extraordinaire Mike M. took exhaustive notes during this week’s live stream with time stamps and everything. These should do a better job of helping podcast listeners navigate the specific content of the shows. The notes are lengthy, so I’m hiding them below the fold of the post. Mike says he’s willing to do this on a regular basis — sort of like taking secretarial minutes at a meeting — but should he be unable to perform this task, I can always revert to posting my pre-show notes. Click “continue reading” below to view the show notes.
