Just a note to say that if you try to listen to Offside #6 in the Podcast Pickle player you will notice that it sounds like an episode of Alvin and the Chipmunks.  I am not sure why that is, but I can tell you that the sound is fine if you download the episode or listen to it through iTunes or any other option.

Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused anyone.
