    The One Where our Heroes go Down Under | Ep #47

    The One Where our Heroes go Down Under.

    G'day mates, 
    We have a ripper of podcast this week as Jake and Aaron discover Wired Unplugged Podcast is big in Melbourne. They also chinwag about the reaction to The Last of Us TV show, Stadia closing, Microsofts layoffs, Naming a 3D printer and the infestation of googly eyes in the Wired office. Chuck another shrimp on the barbie and rip open a cold one as you settle back to enjoy episode 47.

    *Editors note: Apologies to our Australian viewers for the overuse of "Aussie" slang. Our copywriter was a huge Neighbours fan and got carried away.

Marnail ,

Keep up the Gloria Gaynor chat

First i was afraid i was petrified...

...Then i listened to Jake and Aaron and life was fine. Flowers smelled fresher and childrens laughter seemed brighter.
It transformed my life as a whole.

PS. We all need some Aaron time.
