Steve and Giles are trying out the concept of "Jazz Podcasting''. Not in the "making a podcast about jazz" way, but in the "improvising on a theme" way.

It all works out swimmingly and we have a lovely time.

Motifs and licks include:

• Pale boys in a dark room
• Steve goes to an Emo gig
• When Giles left part of his brain in a field
• A forgotten feature returns

Featuring music by Marc-o, The Tidmouth Sheds, and Johnny Domino.
