Technical fault - GBSB Unpicked S9E4
Hi everyone, I’d just like to apologise that there’s no episode this week unfortunately. We recorded the episode but when I came to edit it there was a technical fault with the sound which made the episode unlistenable. We are both gutted by this issue, it’s really upsetting as a lot of work goes into making the podcast. Apologies, hopefully we’ll be back next week with Episode 5
