The Smiths' Occasional Podcast SOP032 - Silver Sharpies and Sparkles

Neil tries to honor the VJ's of old, and we decide to boycott a holiday - cause some of them are just plain stupid. Our struggle with math pops up yet again, and we give some love to a new TV show. It ain't Battlestar Galactica, but what is?  Mari shares the fruits of her Apple Camp experience. Fruits ... get it? And we weigh in on some Depeche Mode documentaries as we prepare to see their Tour of the Universe. That's right Martin Gore, we're packing up our gothy boots and coming to see you! With tunes by Flunk, Venus Hum and Pat MacDonald.
