A MESSAGE FROM ROB
If you’re getting this episode from our feed you should know that this episode was complied at a higher bitrate then our previous episodes. (96kbps instead of 56kbps) This should increase both the audio quality and the file size. (43.3MB instead of 25.3MB) This is the first in a series of tests to increase our quality. Over the next few episodes we are going to be trying out all sorts of different ways to produce a higher quality show without effecting our listeners. Please head over to our message boards and let us know what you think.
