The panel : Stu Helm, Will, Keaton Brant and Michael King

This show is, again, a bit special, This episode was recorded live at Will’s house in Sherman Oaks, LA. A huge thankyou to Will’s parents for letting me stay with them and for being so welcoming.

Because of the nature of the show, and the fact I’m on vacation, I haven’t included any chapters or time markers again, sorry about that, you will get them back in the next show!

We’d like to hear from you so send your email / audio clips to haveyoursay [at] impodcast [dot] tv and we’ll get them into the mix
