At last... A new episode and that out of order. Episode 7 is still sort of on the way - we'll see if it ever materializes. Episode 08 doesn't really wrap anything up. Instead there is some new audio from Andrew, some of it is repeated and some of it is new and hopefully it is more Andrew's interpretation than mine.
