Summary : Except the experimental bits about video, this show covered MeeGo, Angry Birds, FTAs, and much more
We attempted to make this the first episode with video, but due to technical issues it will probably have to wait until the next episode. Tim and I will have hopefully sorted out webcams over SIP by then. Update : show notes are published.

The short story is that in the UK it's still possible to travel anonymously by bus, tram, and train (even with shades, hat and mask/s on), but how long for?

Both MP3 links seem to go to the same file. What is the address of the low-bandwidth version?

About 47 minutes into the show, the BSA harassing a shop it mentioned. Has that shop owner added his experiences to the FFII’s effort?
