From listener Chris Ballew: I have heard every single episode of RotL and for almost as long as I have been listening to it I’ve been daydreaming about making a little mash up cut and paste audio bit out of some of a random selection of opening moments of the podcast. I woke up one day and was suddenly seized my motivation, and made this little slice of sound as a love letter to my virtual and real life friends, John and Merlin. My God, Chris. Thank you, thank you.
