Essential Apple Podcast 255A: We just “ramble on”

This is the second part of EAP 255 – I’m putting it out as bonus content because it’s just Nick and Jim and myself wittering on about stuff that has nothing at all to do with Apple – so if you want Apple related stuff feel free to skip over this and not worry you missed anything!!!
