Loved the nod to CBC Radio 3's R3-30 in this week's show. My favourite podcast (besides Spark of course). Naked mole rats, that can't be coincidence.
I was listening to the show and heard the bit about Elizabeth Bowie's name already being a .com website. I have a small problem about having a website with my name; I am named after a Canadian pirate so if someone were to Google me they would probably think me long dead.
