We hope to keep it alive and certainly the Christmas Cracker at Theatre by the Lake that will be special.

After 6.5 years, 200+ guests and hundreds of hours on the hill, we're hanging up the headphones (for now) on the pod. Before that, Ep #150 - By Sty Head Tarn ā is now live, featuring reflections on the pod, and of our lifetime love of the Lakes. Enjoy.
