The Glowing Dial with Big John and Steve - Episode POD99 Premieres ... a few days late again :-(

Programming note: Sorry that episode POD98 didn't make an official premiere but I was in the hospital again for two weeks and am now a Dialysis patient three times a week. Lots of things get behind. POD98 will, as soon as it is edited, premiere straight to The Glowing Dial Archives.

This episode, POD99, premieres a few days late for the same reason. I appreciate your understanding.
