Episode synopsis

Welcome to episode 3 of Sod This (yes, amazingly we’ve not given up yet!), where Oliver and I are joined by Michael Foord for a discussion on dynamic languages in general and IronPython in particular.

Btw - for those confused personality types among our listeners - the “I” in this post is me, Gary, in spite of the post author given above.

Here’s the episode: Sod This Episode 3 (right-click and save to download the file instead of playing it in the browser)

Also in this episode Oliver and I do our best to sooth the troubles in Northern Ireland (cough) and struggle to remember the name of Microsoft evangelist Eric Whatishisname (it’s Nelson by the way - we looked it up ). We close out the episode with a short discussion on whether or not it’s taboo to give your daughter away as a prize on the show (seriously she’s just turning 18 so knows everything - you know what I mean, right?).

As always, if you have any positive comments about our show then send them to us, mention them on Twitter and blog your little hearts out. If you have any negative comments then, well… keep them to yourself. :-)

Enjoy the show!

Btw, we’re glad to mention that Michael looks nothing like the picture on the right. Oh well.
