This Reality Podcast: No 101

Episode 101: 59 minutes running time

It’s a painful welcome from Studio L in Oxfordshire, England where this week we bring you some outstanding music from the USA, Ukraine, USA (again), UK and UK (again). And our last track is a very special political dedication with a deeply personal message… for Tony Blair.

Talkie bits:
* The Cheese Game is a short South African variant
* A Tesco supermarket in St Mellons, Cardiff has introduced a dress code. Well actually, it’s more of a ‘get dressed!’ code
* Soph gets tested by an Italian person at work
* A discussion about Up In The Air starring George Clooney and Soph muses about family relations in a whole new way! Bren asks if the film is just one long commercial for American Airlines
* The Dell laptop giving up, having a new hard disk fitted and everything having to be reinstalled
* Bren talks about his show-jumping adventure at Hartpury
* The bride who sued for divorce 10 minutes after saying ‘I do’

You want more? Really?
