Live: After The Shuttle Lands, We Panel

Here it is, then, the final episode of Sidepodpanel for the first series. It’s been an amazing run, so many good thoughts and subtle mentions of Franck. Our final show is ably hosted by Steven Roy who has become something of a regular on the panel, and should know how to handle us rowdy lot.

For a while it seemed as though we wouldn’t have anybody on the panel to talk, but we may just be able to fill up this last show. Join us in the comments, if you’re not on the show itself, as anyone can get points.

    They basically use the bottom of it for that. They are past maximum temperature so should be OK now
