"What if Nigel got murdered live on mic...'

Hi gang, we've been experiencing some technical delays in getting the latest episode of Archive Admirers out, so instead of leaving your feeds empty, we thought we would present a look behind the curtain at a recording session gone wrong. We were trying to record an episode but Nigel had to leave her hostel room and then got lost in the streets of Edinburgh. We hope you can understand, and enjoy the episode. Archive Admirers episode 30 will release May 23rd.
