RC 363: Swinging Songs For Mashup Lovers
The return of the mashups, now re-integrated back into polite society and the podcast, now mixed live with non-mashups a merry sort of chaos (no-one mixes music like this!).

The nuclear threat might be more Chinese owned nuclear plants going all Fukushima nowadays and cold war…
