This month we have had a big discussion about the impact that social isolation is having on all of us. It's such a big conversation that we've had to split it up to make more than one episode.

This is the first instalment where we discuss such hot topics as:
- what have you been doing?
- are you enjoying the time at home?
- are you learning anything new?
- do your pets feel like you've invaded their space??

Keep tuned for the next instalment.

There is a talk show beyond that which is known to man.
It is a dimension as vast as The Buccaneers Bar and as timeless as 11am - 3:30pm on a Tuesday. It is the middle ground between breakfast and going home, between the long gone past and distance future. It lies at the beginning of a month and the thesaurus of the month. This is the dimension of imagination. It is a transmission known as EPIC MW.

A monthly talk show produced during Making Waves and released nearly on time every month... hopefully a Tuesday at midday...
