Episode 30 - 39 minutes running time

This episode was recorded a couple of weeks ago and was automatically pushed out on to the internet this morning. Why? Because today, instead of sitting around in Studio K in Worcestershire and producing another top quality episode of This Reality Podcast for you as normal, we're moving! Yep, this most excellent, British-based podcast is moving house, moving home and moving studio all the way down the M40 motorway to Oxfordshire.

As usual Episode 30 continues to feature top class music, but instead of Screwed News and other current events features, this week we take a look at some of the podcasts that we listen to.

The music is:
1. Blood Red Sun - Love Letter [http://www.myspace.com/bloodredsun]
2. Pastor E Shadrach Deline - Gone Too Soon
3. Chris Mendoza - Keep on Having My Fun [http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=221281047]
4. P. Hux - Better Than Good [http://www.parthenonhuxley.com/]
