Episode 86, recorded on Thursday 19th January 2012.  With a live audience and an esteemed panel including Curious Mitch Cohen, Guiseppe Grasso, Femke Goedhart, Colleen Burns and Wes Morgan, we discuss the conference, the highlights, the OGS, the wifi, the community and even Darren’s state of dress!

[Once again, Darren and I recorded a live TWiL from the hallowed rooms of WDW Dolphin during Lotusphere. This year we were not lucky enough to have been supplied with a room with a PA and roving mics, so the audio is by no means perfect, but the conversation makes it very worthwhile.  We had fun recording the show, I hope you enjoy listening just as much!]
