Thoroughly enjoyed the show, good to see Panasonic listening to the customers, although last year I remember them saying “the flagship OLED with the soundbar sells perfectly well, why would we make a cheaper one and undercut ourselves???”.

Pedantry Corner: It’s Jason STAYtham and John SEEna. I realise we often only see these things written down, but now you know.
 
Excellent podcast guys. I'd love to see Ed smash 100 oleds :rotfl: Perhabs Netflix could do a documentary? 🤔
 
Interesting comments on F1, and that Bond Lotus. It's a lot more exciting watching F1 live in 4K, when you don't know what is happening next ! As for that Esprit: they should have demonstrated it's cornering abilities on a twisty dry road. It would have blown the Aston Martin and all the others away. ( I know - I had one. )
 
Speaking of the straight to video careers of the like of Travolta and Cage, this article really explains how they have ended up there.
 
Excellent gents and enjoy your break/school holidays.

Will Ed's quote that " I won't be in the best disposition " next Wednesday also apply the following week when the pubs have opened?

One key aspect missed in the speaker placement debate - The views of SWMBO!

Best probing question of the podcast - " What's with the talking shark? "

Speaking of speaker placement when your couch is against the wall, would it be worth it to have speakers behind you if they were In-Walls? Or would they still be too close?

In a future podcast it would be good if you could explain the advantages of Tripoles/Dipoles/Bipoles and their specific use cases.
