In this episode a couple of interesting topics what could come out of drinks with colleagues as well as some good news about Phages. A rather personal sharing session. Ended with our regulars "Tangoed Tongues" and "Corrie Corner". Thanks for joining us!!

Tangoed Tongues Twister

Betty Botter had some butter, "But," she said, "this butter's bitter. If I bake this bitter butter, it would make my batter bitter. But a bit of better butter-- that would make my batter better." So she bought a bit of better butter, better than her bitter butter, and she baked it in her batter, and the batter was not bitter. So 'twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter.

@$^@^!$^$@^@^!@^$!$^!$^$^$@%&^%* @$^@^!$^$@^@^!@^$!$^!$^$^$@%&^%*^&!!!!!!!!! Our Website was hacked.... Just to let you know, folks: some script-kiddie with nothing better to do than destroy other people's work hacked the OKAZOO site last week, just before I was getting ready to post a new OKAZOO and AudioPopcorn #50. I worked on it very late to try to clean it up, and in a red-eyed haze... accidentally deleted my database! I cried.....and went to bed. The new sites are clean and ready, but have no posts, as I must re-type them. PLEASE BEWARE! I'll be reposting the entire feeds sometime this weekend, and if you don't want to re-download everything since the beginning, please make sure your podcatching software is only picking up the LATEST post from each feed. Talk to you soon!

Hi Folks! We got a large amount of feedback from one person in particular fairly recently: Greg from the 5Questions Podcast. We thought it would be fun to respond properly, and rather than keep it private, Greg has agreed that we could make it public, as we thought others may be interested in this topic as well.
