  • Topic: I think the podcast number tells the story. :D
  • Voices: You’ll hear lots, too many to name individually (though if you really need to know, please post and we’ll track’em down for you.)
  • Music: Mostly original compositions, digitaltoast used a royalty-free music-bed, and I’ve melded a splendid Chopin Polonaise from the superb musopen.com, performed by Paul Pitman, with Sean’s voiceover.
