We have been bedeviled by a myriad of aethernet issues, ranging from incooperative hosts to a particularly recalcitrant communication issue with iTunes. But I have good news, dear reader. I have managed to hammer all of our little gremlins into submission, and we will be resuming regular transmissions within the week!

In the meantime, if you are of age and of sturdy disposition, I invite you to listen to “A Heart of Hammered Brass” at Erotica a la Carte. Be forewarned, this is not a story for youngsters. Nor is it a tale for those who might be scandalized by impropriety or, indeed, lasciviousness.

Look for a new transmission from the crew of the H.M.S. Astrolabe quite soon!
