This podcast has been long overdue, and we finally realized it was time to publish it when it had been almost a year since we've published and with no guilt or pangs of remorse with everything else going on we felt now was the time to step back. We explain in great detail why. The show will remain open so listeners can checck past episodes. Farewell and godspeed. .
This is the week we finally relaunch. There's a bit of disscussion in the beginning about Matt's long absence and then we'll dive right back in whefre we left off. With Navy Lark, that means right back to Series 12 and we leaarn what happens when Troutbridge winds up in Shanghai, rather then Shankley and what happens when an old flame enters Povy's office. Then it's off to London late 1890s as we continue our look at The Casebook Of Sherlock Holmes and The Three Garadebs. enjoy.
It feels like the end of an era, not for Brunch but for Narnia. We've done it along with an hour's worth of Navy Lark, that because this episode was actually recorded last winter I can't remember but fear not. Brunch is relaunching and I'll have more details on that soon! Meanwhile enjoy this.
This week we return with a good long brunch to end the holidays. We begin with an hour of Navy Lark in which we learn about who can grow a beard faster between Commander Murray and Sub LT Philips then it's strange radio signals that HMS Troutbridge has to figure out.
