INTRODUCTION:
The guys started by talking about Harry finally getting his powered paraglider off the ground last week.
Ru mentioned that he met David Murphy of The Imaginary Surf Company in the surf the other day, before the boys then got into a very geeky discussion about where in the Game of Thrones world would get the best surf.
CORRECTIONS:
Ru was corrected on his description of the use of Phi from Episode 29, by Dr Bruno Fazenda, who is a Senior Lecturer in Audio Technology at Salford University in England.
