We can only apologise for the way this will post for those of you who try to keep your I-Tunes and the like neat and tidy. After much discussion and dissapointment with our hosting company we are unable to simply place these posts back in thier proper placement. We are still on the hunt for another host company that will offer what we are looking for at a reasonable price and still allow us to keep the spokenlore.com domain. Any suggestions regarding this would be GREATLY appreciated.Episode 20-
