&lt;p&gt;As usual, it's been a while, but this time I have a really good excuse!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today I talk about the new nipper, microphones, Apple's "Geniuses", Guitar Center, Katrina and PodcastCon UK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today's music is by me! It's my new solo track Ferryman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At just over 23 minutes and weighing in at 16MB, It's &lt;em&gt;A Brit Abroad!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
