Tim Membrey - Wikicast 127

Thursday Sep 12, 2024
Simon would like to apologise for the fact that this episode is *checks notes* FOUR MONTHS LATE. An awful lot has happened with the studio move and parenthood and about a million other things.
Anyway, hear from the boys back in May talk surprisingly seriously about YouTube videos and completely lose it over a whole new genre of Australian music. We will be back with a more timely episode before long!
