The Podcast
And now, as promised, and in a change to the usual Q&A session, here is a very special Wife in Space Podcast:
Thanks to everyone who contributed. Sadly, we couldn’t use everything we received (the podcast would be more than 90 minutes long), so I’ve held some material back for another podcast I have planned for later. Sue was especially knocked out by the songs, and she has decreed that all the song writers should win a mug, so if you could please drop me a line with your address and mug of choice, I’ll do the rest.
And finally, a very special thanks to the two Pauls.
