Me too, believe me. 2 hours until we go live. Getting a bit nervous now. Technical difficulties are my biggest fear.
Everything is well prepared though so let's hope I didn't jinx it.

To hobot, ask why he chose his race and his worst match up and why.

To Neil Kaplan, ask would he do if he wasn't voice acting.

Great idea. I'll see if I can have that up and ready for the show tomorrow. If not, I'll certainly put up mp3 recordings for the following shows.

Thanks for the feedback.
