Episode 841

Clomping in Klompen
TWiT fan Michelle from Utrecht in the Netherlands has paid a visit to Leo at the TWiT Cottage, and brought him a pair of Dutch wooden clogs.  Now Leo clomps around in his Klompen and dances to the Monday Theme.

Model Trains
Dick as we all know is a model train enthusiast, with an LGB G-scale model train set in his backyard, which he first referred to way back in Episode 1.  Dick talks about the different scales for model trains (for more info see e.g. Model Train Scales Explained), while Leo talks about a model dream estate of a friend of his, complete with a train set.  You can see Dick's train set in action on his archive website gizwizbiz.com or on YouTube.

Answers in Surround Sound
In Episode 829, Dick and Leo asked about the possibility of doing the podcast in stereo sound. Answers came back in surround sound.  Frank Bailey from Japan who listens to the show on his daily commute on his bike says no, as he listens with only one earphone so that he can listen out for what's happening around him.  Ditto for James Glenn.  Curt Estridge from Vienna, Ohio listens to the show at work also with one earbud, leaving his other ear or half of it for his boss.  Ditto for Eric Burke from Prior Lake, Minnesota, and another listener from Iowa.  That's an overwhelming number of one-ear listeners.
