  1. Hello Starship Sofa crew – I don’t see a link to the audio file – am I missing something?
    And a massive *Thank You* to all of you for your dedication over the years.

    • Hey Wil… my fault… had it on timer for jaunting ( Quick quiz… which novel is Jaunting from?) to Paris and forgot an whole load of steps to take to actually make sure show got out – please forgive.

      • Ha Tony – no apology needed! What you’ve been doing all these years is both incredibly determined and inspirational – and has helped me through some seriously bad times. You’re a bonafide Geordie space-hero!!
        PS Tiger! Tiger! … or The Stars My Destiny?
        Great big cheers from Aussie-land 🚀

      • Had to look jaunting up, which means it’s been far too long since I read the novel!

  2. This seems to be missing the player & download link. Also, episode 550.

  3. What purple Scott said.

    • Sorry Dave… got all mixed up with a little holiday and forgot to link and actually add show – please forgive.

      • Nothing to forgive, you do a fine service to humanity and the rest of the solar system; there really should be a medal in it, perhaps from the United Nations. Now itunes, they have much to be ashamed of, I cannot get your show and the Eastern Border from Latvia. These both show up in the listings but won’t download. I have to listen at Patreon or the show websites. All other podcasts I subscribe to are not blocked. Perhaps it was the “Great Rant” but what Kristaps did from over in Riga to have his downloads restricted I can also only guess at. Many of his shows have old Soviet jokes but it is my guess his recent predictions on the Russian economy have angered You Know Who.
