Dear fellas, just wanted to join the chorus in saying what a fantastic job you boys continually do in producing this podcast. I'm a life long briz fan living in Oxford for the past 15 years - I get down to the gate as often as I can (away games tend to be more accessible for me) but its easy to feel a bit cut off from the general Bristol Rugby community. The pod is a wonderful way that exiles like me can get that Bristol Bears connection and without it, I really wouldn't feel as tuned in to the fan community (me being social media phobic. Lee, i'm very much with you on being alergic to technology). It also does what the very best radio and podcasts do which is make the listener feel like they're part of the conversation- something that other apparently 'professional' shows made up of ex pros and sports hacks just aren't able to pull off. So keep at it lads, I'll look out for you at the Leinster game and who knows, one of these days I might even attempt an acrostic. Stay safe, Adrian (Ade).
