"If you're wearing earrings made from polygonal dice, you might be a geek..."Second show of the season, getting into the groove of things. Last week, I was getting used to the (in places jury-rigged) studio, and those new-fangled computers they now use instead of, you know, CD players and turn tables. I also didn't know how badly I would want to run at the mouth on geek subjects, so I've made adjustments there as well. As usual, if you couldn't listen or understand the French interventions, here's the episode's playlist, with You-Tube links where available.
