Here we are, once again from the bustling show floor at Infosecurity Europe 2024 in London, situated at the Excel Centre. Sean Martin of ITSP Magazine is your host, and he's joined by Dror Liwer, co-founder of CORO Security. Both are excited to dive deep into how CORO is expanding its focus into the European market.Day Three: Nonstop Conversations and PresentationsFrom the get-go, Dror shares his enthusiasm about being part of this prestigious event for the first time. With a primary presence in the U.S., CORO is now aggressively moving into EMEA, starting right here in London. This move is in response to increasing demand from small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe who need robust cybersecurity solutions.Addressing the Security Needs of SMEsSean recalls the comprehensive capabilities of CORO discussed in previous episodes. CORO provides multiple layers of security tailored to an organization's specific needs, such as regulatory requirements, budget, and staffing capabilities. Sean encourages everyone to revisit those insightful seven-minute chats from RSA Conference to get an in-depth view.Dror emphasizes that CORO is unique in targeting the mid-market from the ground up, unlike other companies that retrofit enterprise solutions to fit smaller businesses. With a focus on simplicity and powerful protection, CORO ensures that its solutions are manageable even for lean IT teams.Navigating the Complexities of EuropeOne of the significant discussions revolves around the differences between the U.S. and European markets. While Sean and Dror acknowledge the similar types of cyber threats faced globally, operational nuances like data residency and privacy regulations differ widely across Europe. CORO has established a data center in Germany to comply with local data residency requirements, ensuring that email and file inspections stay within the EU boundaries.Real-World Applications and ChallengesSean drives the conversation into the specific challenges CORO has faced and the different attack scenarios in Europe compared to the U.S. Dror mentions that while SME awareness of being targets has been prevalent in the U.S. for a while, European SMEs are just beginning to realize the same. As a result, CORO is educating this market about the imminent threats and how to efficiently protect against them without becoming overwhelmed.The Importance of AffordabilityDror and Sean discuss the financial challenges faced by SMEs, such as difficult decisions on whether to invest in cybersecurity or other critical needs like educational resources. Dror emphasizes that CORO has priced its suite of security solutions to remove this barrier, making comprehensive coverage affordable for even the smallest enterprises.Team and Technology: The Backbone of COROThe conversation takes a moment to appreciate CORO's dedicated team. Sean praises the high energy and mutual support visible at CORO's booth. Dror points out that customer reviews often highlight how easy it is to work with CORO—a testimony to the company's dedication to protecting overlooked small and mid-sized businesses.The Future of SME CybersecurityCORO aims to remove the guesswork ("threat roulette”) for SMEs by providing an all-encompassing platform that is accessible and easy to manage. This approach ensures that small businesses can protect themselves comprehensively without the need to prioritize between different threat vectors due to budget constraints.CORO's MissionAs the conversation winds down, Dror reiterates CORO's mission to protect SMEs globally and make cybersecurity as effortless as possible. Sean encourages attendees of Infosecurity Europe to visit CORO's dynamic and innovative booth, and for those who cannot make it, to check out CORO online.

Bett is a gigantic trade show, with over 30,000 people coming to East London's ExCel Centre every year, and 600 resource and solution providers exhibiting in its massive halls.  Amongst the new products, innovations, conversations and meetings, however, is the public, with that overriding question: what can I find here?  This week, we invite a teacher, educational technology researcher, and founder and CEO, to answer why they return to the show year after year, and what questions they ask of the technology on display, and the predictions made in the heart of the Bett arenas.

This week Anna is joined by Bill Lambert from The Kennel Club talking about London's biggest dog event - Discover Dogs 15-16 October at the Excel Centre. It's a doggy dream day out for all dog lovers, especially those aspiring to bring a dog into your life. As a fun weekend highlighting a host of dog activities like Agility,  we chat about how over 150 dog breeds will be showcased by their officiados, experts in every breed. It gives people the chance to get up close to the dogs they may have thought would be a perfect match. But may realise that a bark-less Basenji may be more suitable for their experience and lifestyle than a Bassett Hound. There's the return of the hugely popular ‘Cuddle Corner', which allows visitors to relax, and de-stress by stroking a host of different puppies and dogs. Apart from an opportunity to enjoy retail therapy galore, there's a chance to listen to experts, and watch Medical Detection Dogs in action. Plus there's the penultimate Scruffts competition, with the finale at Crufts in March 2023. And for those football fans there's the Woofball world Cup where Barkelona and Woof Hound United compete in the main arena. There's also plenty on the British Vulnerable Breeds, those that for some odd reason have fallen out of popularity. That includes A DOG'S LIFE co-host, Mr Binks, an English Toy Terrier, who is technically more rare than a giant panda!Find out more at discoverdogs.org.ukInstagram @thekennelclubukJoin the Dog's Life Club on Patreon.

Efforts to tackle the lasting effects of the pandemic were considered by delegates at the Healthcare Excellence Through Technology event held at the Excel Centre in London. Dr Phil Jennings, Chief Executive of the Innovation Agency, chaired a discussion to consider what support can be offered to reduce the backlog of operations. His guests included Alison Johnson, Director of Programmes with ORCHA, Pip Hodgson, Head of National Digital Product, NHS England Transformation Directorate, Sarah Dougan former Director of Population Health Intelligence North Central London and now an independent consulant and Tara Scott-Sowter, Director of Customer Success Induction Healthcare.

Welcome to episode 30 of the Lovecars On The Grid Podcast! Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman bring us another motorsport roundup of the events from the past week! We've had a jam packed motorsport week from around the World, with Formula 1, F2 and W Series at Paul Ricard in France. We've also had booing in NASCAR, Indycar and World Superbikes. Firstly, we pay tribute to Paddy Hopkirk, the famous, Irish rally driver that was famous for driving MINIs. In Formula 1, we had an interesting weekend at Paul Ricard. Charles LeClerc had an unfortunate weekend, and ended up crashing into the barriers in France. Max Verstappen had managed to wear out his tyres in his Red Bull and following some poor strategy from Ferrari, Verstappen almost overtook during the Ferrari pitstop. Following a virtual safety car, Mercedes driver, George Russell left a huge gap between him and the driver in front of him. Russell then caught up with Perez, jumping the Mexican driver once the racing resumed. The McLaren result continues to be interesting, as Lando Norris continues to out perform team mate Daniel Ricciardo. Should Ricciardo continue to drive in F1? In Formula 2, Liam Lawson won the sprint race, having qualified in 9th place. In the main race, Japanese driver Ayumu Iwasa took the win, in his Red Bull. The main highlight of the Porsche Supercup were the track limits! Or lack of them! With drivers using the edge of the track to gain overtakes or maintain their positions. Harry King took 2nd place, whilst the win went to rookie driver, Bastian Buus. The W Series was also supporting the Formula 1, with a 7th win for Jamie Chadwick. Should Jamie move to Formula 3? NASCAR was at Pocono Raceway. Unfortunately, following a restart with just over 36 laps to go, Hamlin and Ross Chastain went head to head, with Chastain trying to go around the outside of Hamlin. This resulted in Hamlin squeezing his competitor out, forcing him into the wall. Hamlin went over the line in 1st place, but both Joe Gibbs drivers were disqualified for having incorrect aero. The win was therefore given to Chase Elliot. Indycar was at the Iowa Speedway for 300 laps, for a fairly dull race. Josef Newgarden won the first race, with Pat O'Ward behind him in second. The British Superbikes were at Brands Hatch, with a win for Jason O'Halloran on his Yamaha. Next week, we have Formula 1, Formula 2, F3 and W Series in Hungary, at the Hungaoring. NASCAR and Indycar are at Indianapolis. Superbikes are in the Czech Republic. BTCC are up in Scotland at Knockhill and Formula E is in London at the Excel Centre for an indoor race! What are your predictions for Formula 1 in Hungary? Let us know your top three drivers in the comments!

Last week, roughly 5,000 hepatology stakeholders met at the ExCel Centre in London for #ILC2022, the first major hepatology Congress with significant in-person attendance since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This wrap-up episode covers some of the major drug development and patient screening themes that emerged from ILC.The previous ILC2022 episodes spent virtually no time on NASH drug development, so moderator Roger Green starts by suggesting this episode pay specific attention to the medications covered in the late-breaker session and Friday press conference. Stephen Harrison, who presented the resmetirom late-breaker and two other resmetirom studies at the conference, started by talking about the resmetirom late-breaker, which reported initial Phase 3 results from the MAESTRO NAFLD-1 trial. The trial's primary endpoint was safety, with several secondary metabolic endpoints. Stephen describes the drug as "safe and well-tolerated in over 1200 patients treated for one year with 80mg or 100mg versus placebo." On the secondary endpoints, there were "statistically significant reductions in anthropogenic lipids, LDL, APO B ,triglycerides , lipo A" and MRI- PDFF.  Also, Stephen notes that because this study took place at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients in the 80mg, 100mg and placebo cohorts missed an average of two months of doses over a 12-month study. Despite this challenge, the drug showed significant effects in MRI-PDFF and MRE. All told, Stephen sees "no bad news" in MAESTRO NAFLD-1.He shifts focus to the cirrhotic study. Resmetirom was safe and well-tolerated in this population and, non-invasive tests moved in a way that suggested possible movement on early portal hypertensive changes. Stephen notes that the upcoming MAESTRO Outcomes study will allow researchers to learn whether the pathophysiologic changes are linked to outcomes. Mazen and Jörn make generally supportive comments. Michelle picks up by describing the late-breaker as "generalizable." As she notes, most patients in practice miss doses, which makes these results more akin to real practice. Louise reads this data to say that even in primary care, patients can improve if screened and treated properly. Jörn takes lead to review the accuracy of biomarkers, specifically ALT and FIB-4. He discusses his presentation based on 2000 liver biopsied patients in the MAESTRO  NAFLD-1 population. Of these advanced patients, 26% had normal ALT levels and 80% had ALT levels less than 2x normal. Jörn makes the point that we must find ways not to miss these patients when they appear in hepatology practices since cannot rely on ALT, or even FIB-4, to identify significant disease. Stephen moves on to discuss the dual GLP-1/glucagon agonist pemvidutide. The pemvidutide study is a Phase 1 with 34 patients focusing on safety and pharmacokinetics. He comments that atherogenic lipids were reduced more than with standard weight loss, points out highly promising results around liver fat, mentions a 14-15% drop in liver volume over 6 weeks and notes a highly tolerable safety/side effect profile. Mazen notes how remarkable he found it that after 12 weeks, 100% of patients on the 1.8mg dose achieved 5% weight loss and 55% achieved 10%. Jörn shifts the conversation to discuss the semaglutide late-breaker.  While semaglutide showed no efficacy in reducing fibrosis for cirrhotic patients over a 48-week period, the group saw  positive signs in sema's  high level of safety coupled with the ability to meet secondary goals: weight loss, HbA1c reduction. Michelle suggested that this study and others like it might give hepatologists comfort in prescribing GLP-1 today for obese or diabetic patients with NAFLD or NASH. Louise mentions a statin presentation she attended with a similar message about the benefit of non-NASH drugs against targets that matter to NASH patients.

Another Formula E episode! This week, Will and Owen look back over an exciting Formula E London E-Prix at the ExCEL Centre. During the second race at the London exhibition centre, Audi's Lucas Di Grassi tried to pull off an audacious move through the pit line in an attempt to take the lead of the race. The driver earned a penalty and eventual black flag for the tactic, but was it a move that warranted such harsh punishment?In the programme, we also discuss whether Nyck De Vries will become the first full-time Formula E driver to transition to Formula 1, and take a look ahead to the Hungarian Grand Prix, which kicks off on the 30th of July. What did you think of the London E Prix, should Di Grassi have been penalised?

London's newest hospital, NHS Nightingale opened today after a heroic nine-day build. The field hospital, housed in London's Excel Centre, will be the world's largest critical care unit.NHS Nightingale opened with 500 beds with capacity for 3,500 more. It will be used to treat patients who have been transferred from intensive care units across the capital. Up to 16,000 staff could be working at the facility. These will include NHS nurses, doctors and volunteers from St John Ambulance.Prince Charles opened the hospital via video message from home, where he is himself recovering from coronavirus symptoms. He said, “Florence Nightingale, the lady with the lamp, brought hope and healing to thousands in their darkest hour. In this dark time this place will be a shining light." More hospitals are expected to be built across the UK in Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. Today's special edition of The Leader: Coronavirus Daily tells the story of this heroic project, with contributions from our reporters who have been inside the new Nightingale hospital.

It is an epic bumper podcast on Geektown Radio this week as I'm joined by Bex from TristaBytes to chat about MCM London Comic-Con! We both spent a fabulous (if rather tiring) three days at the ExCel Centre in London checking out all manner of geekiness, from indie comic books, to card games about sandwiches, and some amazing panels. We talk 'Pennyworth', the new 'Alex Rider' series, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat's 'Dracula', and Netflix's 'The Witcher'. We also have the usual weekly tv and film news, along with a look at the next week on tv, and the panel from upcoming Apple TV+ series 'See'.'See' is set in the far future, where a virus has decimated humankind. Those who survived emerged blind. Jason Momoa stars as Baba Voss, the father of twins born centuries later with the mythic ability to see – who must protect his tribe against a powerful yet desperate queen who believes it’s witchcraft and wants them destroyed. Alfre Woodard (‘Luke Cage’) stars as Paris, Baba Voss’ spiritual leader, along with Yadira Guevara-Prip, Sylvia Hoeks, Nesta Cooper, Archie Madekwe, Christian Camargo, Hera Hilmar and Marilee Talkington.The panel consisted of creator Steven Knight (‘Peaky Blinders’, ‘Taboo’), director Francis Lawrence (‘The Hunger Games’ films, ‘I Am Legend’), Jason Momoa, Alfre Woodard, and Archie Madekwe.

The jewel in the crown of the MCM / ReedPOP convention schedule, The MCM London Comic Con - taking over the ExCel Centre in London's Docklands over the weekend of Friday 26th-Sunday 28th October - was truly a breathtaking collection of the world's best media creators, from the world of comics, to manga/anime, to film and television, to role-playing and beyond. It was truly a sight to behold. And An Englishman In San Diego was part of it! Leonard Sultana hosted a number of panels and presentations at the show, both on the Comic Stage, the Centre Stage and also at a couple of satellite panels for invited VIP's - these are those recordings! The CBLDF (Comic Book Legal Defence Fund), represented by Alex Cox at the show, charged MCM to hold a roundtable discussion about the current state of comics coming from the US, taking on board recent arguments and conflicts within both fandoms, readership and creators themselves about diversity and representation, about the stemming of the tide of apparent falling sales and the landscape of comics, especially in regards to what are called the Big Two (Marvel & DC) and beyond. It was a fascinating conversation, in which Leonard was joined by Tara Ferguson, who works within the US and direct market with many creatives, retailers and publishers, and Lauren Klasik, representing one of the most exciting independent publishers on the shelves today, Zenescope Entertainment.

The jewel in the crown of the MCM / ReedPOP convention schedule, The MCM London Comic Con - taking over the ExCel Centre in London's Docklands over the weekend of Friday 26th-Sunday 28th October - was truly a breaktaking collection of the world's best media creators, from the world of comics, to manga/anime, to film and television, to role-playing and beyond. It was truly a sight to behold. And An Englishman In San Diego was part of it! Leonard Sultana hosted a number of panels and presentations at the show, both on the Comic Stage, the Centre Stage and also at a couple of satellite panels for invited VIP's - these are those recordings! A true titan in the world of creative comic endeavours... but Chris Claremont was determined that, while we talked about his formative years in the industry and his many groundbreaking storylines as X-MEN writer over the years, we looked forward to his future output, not making this some kind of end-of-career Lifetime Achievement Panel! Here, Chris talks about his relationship with not only others in the industry but with the characters themselves, as he continues to play a role in their development and on-going legacy. And he spills the beans on a couple of storylines that could've been!! A cracking chat - enjoy! Intro Music: 'Punky', bensounds.com

Episode 10 of The Teaching Space Podcast shares 10 things you must do before, during and after an education conference. Podcast Episode 10 Transcript Introduction Hello and welcome to episode ten of the Teaching Space Podcast. It's Martine here. In today's episode, I want to share with you ten things you must do before, during and after attending an education conference. Bett Show 2018 These ten things are based on recent experience. In January, I attended the Bett Show, which takes place in London. And it's a large education technology show at the ExCel Centre. Now, I'm based in Guernsey, so the reality of attending a show at the ExCel Centre looks something like this: The Journey I take the red-eye flight, which is the seven a.m. flight from Guernsey to London Gatwick. We used to be able to fly directly to London City, which was a lot more convenient if you know London geography, but alas, that's not possible anymore. So I'm on the red-eye flight at seven a.m. I like to be at the airport an hour before, so I'm there at six a.m., which means I'm up at around five a.m., so that's not a great start to a travel day now really, is it? The flight thankfully got off on time, around seven a.m., so I got into London sometime after 8. By the time I got to the ExCel Centre, it was probably about half-past ten. This experience of travelling to London and going to Bett, made me start thinking about what I need to do slightly better when I go again. I have been to Bett a couple of times, but normally I go overnight. And on this occasion, I went for the day, so I was in on the first flight and out on the last flight, which must have been half seven, eight o'clock in the evening, maybe even a bit later actually. Next Year's Plan Next year I will definitely do an overnight stay, because going for a day, including my travel, just simply wasn't enough. The substance of this podcast really is the things I'm going do better next time, so ten things that I believe you should do in preparation for an education conference (and also a few things to do during and after). So here we go. 1. Make a Plan Look at who's going to be at the event you're going to and plan out your day or days. The Bett Show is brilliant because they have an app, which you can download, and you can favourite any of the stands or speakers that you want to see. So make a plan. And make a plan in advance of your trip. Don't do it on the flight or on the train. 2. Pre-Arrange Meetings While you're planning, arrange meetings, put them on your calendar. Now, this was a mistake I made for Bett; I arranged my meetings while I was there via Twitter direct message. The wifi at the Bett Show was appalling, so I ended up missing a couple of meeting, which I was really disappointed about. Arrange any meetings in advance, pop them in your calendar. 3. Pack All the Things When you're packing for the event, include your phone charger. If like me you are going to somewhere international (to me, the UK is international) you might need a data SIM card for internet.  At Bett, I was totally reliant on wifi, and the connection was terrible. It was the reason that I missed several meetings. Also, I wanted a live stream while I was there and I was unable to do that. I did it once or twice, but it was pretty poor, so if you need to take a sort of spare SIM card, or you know a battery pack or whatever it is you need to enable you to be digitally connected the whole time, make sure you pack that. And if you're gonna rock it old school: take some business cards too. 4. Get Social Is there a hashtag? Can you follow people who are going to be exhibiting at the event? Get some conversation going on social media, and you will have a richer experience at your event. 5. Target Yourself to Connect As part of your planning, target yourself with people that you want to connect with. This is a special shout out really for the introverts out there attending these type of events. When it comes to this sort of thing, I'm quite introverted, and I find the hugeness and the noise of an event like the Bett Show quite overwhelming. So this time I made a real point of targeting myself to visit certain stands and speak to certain people. And I achieved some of those targets. Not all of them, but I achieved some, so I recommend as number five you target yourself with certain things to do and certain people to see. 6. Get a Good Night's Sleep Get a good night's sleep before the event. These events are exhausting, especially if you have to do a great deal of travel to attend, so get a good night's sleep. Now we're talking about on the day. 7. Wear Comfortable Shoes and Clothes This is kind of a no-brainer, but I felt I had to put it on here: wear comfortable shoes and clothes. While I was walking around the Bett Show, I saw a lady who was wearing, I swear, five-inch heels and I was just like "How on earth can you be walking around wearing those shoes?" I have a pedometer on my watch, and I did close to 17,000 steps on that day. How could you do that in five-inch heels? Crazy stuff. 8. A 30-Minute Orientation  When you arrive at the show, and this is number eight, when you arrive at the show, give yourself a good half an hour or so just to get familiar with your surroundings. Finding a map is a good idea at this point as well, and comparing the map with your list of places you want to go and people you want to see. Do that within your first half an hour and adjust to where you are. 9. Eat Lunch at an Odd Time Number nine, this is going to sound like a really strange one, but go with me, eat lunch at a really odd time. Ideally, take snacks with you, so you can eat lunch late. And the reason I say this is at the Bett Show, the ExCel Centre was heaving. It was so busy, that it took me three-quarters of an hour to queue for a salad and that was around one o'clock. Now had I gone at 11 or half two, three o'clock, I think I would have been fine, but given that I had so little time there, that three-quarters of an hour that I spent queuing for my lunch, could have been spent doing far more interesting things. 10. Follow Up And finally, number ten, follow up any interesting conversations or meetings that you had while you were at the event. Give it a couple of days and then put an email in and carry the conversation on. This is something that I did post-Bett. I was trying to arrange a meeting while I was there on Twitter, thank you terrible wifi for ruining that, but I wanted to meet with an event organiser who does a variety of summits for Google. I was quite keen to try to get involved with this company and hopefully find a way to do some work with them. While I missed the meeting thanks to the terrible wifi and arranging it via Twitter, I followed up afterwards, and I'm really excited to say I am going to be speaking at the London Google Summit in March. So follow up any opportunities that crop up at the event that you're attending. I did that and something really exciting has come of it. Wrap Up So those are my top ten tips for things you should do in preparation for and while attending and indeed after attending an education conference. Of course, this goes for any type of conference that you're going to attend, but as my listeners are mainly teachers and people working in education, I focused on education conferences. I hope this has been useful. As I mentioned, Bett is an educational technology conference, and if ed tech is something of interest to you, then please check out my email course 30 EdTech Tools in 30 Days. Okay, that's all from me today, thank you so much for listening, and I hope you'll join me for episode 11.

This week's special edition of Fintech Insider Insights was recorded live at Xerocon 2017 from London's Excel Centre. David hosts a panel on Frictionless Finance, discussing how technology is lowering barriers to entry and we hear how the panelists are tackling friction in finance. David talks to Caroline about Fluidly's intelligent cashflow technology and her experience at Xerocon, plus we hear from Shachar about the problem that Curve is trying to solve, connecting all cards and accounts in one app, using one card. Next up, Colin talks to us about iwoca, an online lender specialising in small businesses, and about his background in Strategy. Plus, how a partnership with Xero has fueled iwoca's growth and why Xerocon is so important to them. Stewart Roberts explains how iZettle is changing the way small businesses take payments, as well as all the things they can do after that point. Back on the panel, how does a big bank keep up with its customers' needs and why is it all about connecting people? David also asks about the big pain points for small businesses and some of the solutions, including the importance of saving time, how automation can provide that all-important peace of mind and why it's all about discovery and accessibility. And there's more - the challenges and opportunities created by open banking; how data will be used in the future; Brexit (you knew it would crop up...);the responsibility of running a marketplace; and where will SME banking be in ten years' time?

Sue Nelson and Paul Andrews present a special pre-record show after a week where the team have been busy at London's Excel Centre for Food Matters Live 2016. We spoke to some fascinating companies and people at Food Matters. In the first part of the show you'll hear from ‘The Superfoodist' Rick Hay, and Go Faster Foods. Following that, we get a real treat from The Truffles Co and take a look at some Vanilla extract from Little Pod. Before we end this week's special, Sue excitedly introduces one of the interviews we had at Bread and Butter Festival a few weeks ago. We've hit the jackpot by speaking to Craig Sams from the world-renowned chocolate company, Green & Blacks.

In this episode I'm joined by Ian, Gavin, Jeavon, John and Stan all from Central London Wargames Club in a "straight to live" recording made in the beer garden of the Fox pub at the ExCeL Centre, London.  Admittedly this is not the most salubrious of locations, however Audacity software has managed to iron out most of the background noise making this a pretty solid podcast recorded live in the Fox, which this particular weekend has been the resting place for weary and thirsty gamers escaping from the mega-show that was Salute! 2016. In this episode I ask the question "What's in the Bag?" of all of my guests, and with some added liquid lubrication the discussion then rambles onto subjects as diverse as the pricing of 15mm figures, packaging strategies (blister pack or baggie?), how much would you pay for a boardgame if you lived on a submarine, and just how many 1/3000th scale ships are "too many"? To get the full experience I recommend that it may be best to have at least 3-4 pints yourself before tuning in ! 

Ken and Matthew delve into the weird and wonderful world of Doctor Who, and the even weirder world of collecting. This week we look back at the 50th anniversary special, The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot, The Minisodes, and much more. Matt gives us a report back from the Doctor Who 50th event at the Excel Centre in London, and we delve into some of the rumours surrounding the fate of Doctor Who action figure collecting. We also review some of the latest releases, including the Doctor/Dalek Toys R Us exclusives, The Big Chief 4th Doctor. Be sure to check out Matt's great site BatmanMarch Reviews, and look out for future episodes in the near future.
