Apologies for the lateness of this one — my two-week break got extended when my computer broke down.
Patreon backers also have a ten-minute bonus episode available, on “Wipe Out” by the Surfaris.
Tilt Araiza has assisted invaluably by doing a first-pass edit, and will hopefully be doing so from now on. Check out Tilt’s irregular podcasts at http://www.podnose.com/jaffa-cakes-for-proust and http://sitcomclub.com/
