In the week where Bristol had the most snow in decades, we uploaded a slightly longer than ideal audio podcast.
Ben measured it and he’s got more than 3 inches. He’s very excited.
In fact, he’s been out building odd-shaped sculptures and taking photographs, while James is afraid to leave the house for fear of breaking himself.
We’ve gone web “point..two…point..zero” as James put it (or 2.0 for the tech-savvy) this week with a brand new website. Check out bjsproductions.co.uk if you’re reading this on the iTunes description.
It looks and works better with the zoom-in/zoom-out double-click thing on the iPhone too.
Are you a Twitterer? a Tweeter? Even James has given in and signed up to Twitter, but he won’t give us his username for some reason.
Ben didn’t win Stephen Fry’s #L Twitter competition. His entry featured the word “bloody” which is why Ben didn’t read it out on air.
Tom Jones is naturally grey. Who’d have thought?
“Tom Jones’ Corner” returns for one week.
Ben shows his cynicism by being derogatory about the pilot who landed the plane in the Hudson river in New York.
What happens if you need to take back the keys to the city? Do you change the locks?
Ben and James debate terrible customer service and the relationship-gate scandal that Stephen caused (and Ben made worse) last year. Ben has gripes with Royal Mail whilst James isn’t impressed with QVC.
We also debate Carol Thatcher’s racist remarks, and Ben has an idea for a new venture for her.

Video
We also shot some video this week. In widescreen, AND with much better sound quality. Sadly, YouTube made the video a bit blurry when it converted it. We hope to improve that in the future. Here it is:
