• Blackmailable Secrets
• Bob Ellis
• Marty Monster & Agro
• Bindles
• How this will probably end up on Mediawatch

Oh my giddy aunt, gentle listener! Things are certainly heating up in the world of adventures that you choose yourself!

Come with Ben Pobjie and Cam Smith on another THRILLING installment of Gather Around Me, when we find out what happens when you reject the State and attempt to, like Fleetwood Mac - both the band and the Rock & Roll Detective - go your own way.

There are so many ways to listen to this that it is NOT FUNNY.

Just it is not funny the number of ways, I mean. The podcast itself, no matter which delivery system you employ, does remain somewhat funny.

But Ben and Cam! I don't have iTunes?

You don't have iTunes! It is 2012.

I don't have a Mac because I like to be able to right click on things and so it was all a bit of trouble to put it on and WinAmp does me just fine plus it has cool visualisations involving llamas.

Look, you have convinced me! Perhaps you would like to try...
