Another week blurs past already, time to slow the pace, brew up on and sit back, relax and listen to some audio goodness from Alex Fitch and friends, this week featuring a couple of comics creators we’ve just been talking about right here on the blog, by coincidence. As ever check the Panel Borders site for more details and links to podcasts of previous shows:
