Hello everyone.    We've not brought you a podcast for a while. The last one was a round up of the 2019 year in wrestling.    With the current global situation we find ourselves in as well as, lets be honest an underwhelming product to try and get excited and talk about we thought we'd bring something we recorded before all this craziness started.    This is just us having a chat about things we've done with ourselves.    In this episode we discuss playing in bands and a whole host of other stuff as well as running through Hunter. S. Thompsons daily routine!  0% wrestling content in this episode so you'll probably enjoy it more!    Let us know you thoughts on our twitter feed.  twitter.com/thelightspod   Thanks --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
