Showed my wife the photos of the rooms and she couldn't believe how bad they were either.

Also, you don't have to say what date you're recording as long as John can keep to the posting schedule he's been doing. Over the summer it just seemed like there was a long delay between when you met and when John posted the podcast. At least that's the impression I got from the news items you were discussing. Plus, you could just put the date in the notes and that'd be fine too!

And I predict that discussion about including the date of the podcast will get 5 minutes of discussion on podcast 41, since it sounds like you've already recorded another.
