Another hour of topical chat starts off with a nostalgic foray into the world of the trade fair. Recollections of times gone by, when sales were made, hangovers earned and swag gathered, are brought right up to date as Tim inventorises his plunder from an event at Birmingham's NEC. Stationery stocked up for the year ahead, we discuss how trade fairs have evolved, and evaluate if the Isle of Wight could be turned into a floating offshore exhibition venue.

How to spend our downtime fills the middle portion of our ponderous ponderings, and we wax polemically, on the choices we have to read, to listen, to watch, or to experience. We choose the podcasts we consider to be the fount of all human communications and share some embryonic ideas about nostalgic tech and gadgets with a promise of a future special.

Political lunches and Bob’s Bread Circle wrap up our fortnightly ramble as we flesh out plans for future podcast specials and assess the island ferries as being the equivalent of a rocket ship launch when leaving the island, and a safe, gentle re-entry with splashdown upon returning.

Stick with us as summer vibes start to take hold in the joyous life-affirming discourse captured in our hour of inspirational outpourings. If not you, then whom.

Thanks for listening

Tim and Rory
