Monday Night Magic News – Episode 21 - D-e-l-a-y-e-d

"You've read it somewhere else, but heard it here first!"

Quote:
Hey guys, before you listen just wanted to say that I'm sorry for the delay both in getting the podcast out and on the podcast itself. We tried a new recording method today on Skype and it turns out that there was a long delay between myself and the other host. We cut the cast short because of this and I have had to edit quite a bit out.

Thanks

Dom
