It's BACK!!!
For the last few years this has been my favorite podcast. They took a few months off (to make time for the pub I presume) but thankfully they are back. This IS the definitive web design podcast in the world. If you own a website, web design agency or like to listen to 2 guys who are passionate about web design make bad jokes you have come to the right place. Paul and Marcus welcome back into my iPod.
Gotta Love Boagworld
