There is no exit music from a community band in this episode but we will include more in random future episodes as it becomes available to us. We are working on improvements to the audio recordings both in studio and with interviews. These interviews were all recording at PDC, and we have improved our recording techniques since then for interviews. We will try to keep each show at around 30 minutes each like this one. episode 7 we should be out of what we might consider CodeCast beta mode. J
