The hosts jump from one topic to another without providing propertransitions or clarity, leaving the listener feeling confused and disoriented.The lack of organization makes it difficult to follow the conversation, and itdetracts from the overall quality of the podcast.Moreover, the hosts often use offensive languageand make inappropriate jokes, which can be uncomfortable and offensive tolisteners. While humor is an important aspect of podcasts, it is crucial to besensitive and respectful towards all audiences. In this case, the hosts fail tostrike a balance and instead rely on inappropriate humor that can beinsensitive and hurtful to some listeners.Furthermore, the audio quality of the podcast issubpar. The sound is often muffled, and the volume levels vary significantlybetween different parts of the podcast, making it difficult to listen towithout adjusting the volume constantly. The poor audio quality adds to thelistener's frustration, detracting from the overall listening experience.In conclusion, "The Iron Fist and The VelvetGlove" falls short in terms of structure, offensive language, and audioquality. While the podcast may have potential, it needs significant improvementin these areas to be a successful and enjoyable listen.To financially support the Podcast you can make a per-episode donation via Patreon or donate through PaypalWe Livestream every Tuesday night at 7:30pm Brisbane time.

The Repairman by Harry Harrison audiobook. This is a collection of 3 of Harry Harrison marvelous early stories that were published in Galaxy, Analog and Fantastic Universe. The Repairman (1958) is a straight fun SF story of a man getting a job done. It is most typical of his later style in series like the Stainless Steel Rat; Toy Shop (1962), a short piece exploring bureaucratic blindness and one ingenious way around it and The Velvet Glove (1956), my favorite for its writing style, fun perspective, sly social commentary on the scene in 1956 and just plain delightful imagination. And he manages to pack excitement and mystery in at the same time.
The 2007 Formula 1 season is hotting up, but it's the action off the track that is really starting to burn. While Hamilton, Raikonnen and Alonso battle it out in Germany, It's time for McLaren to face the guard dogs of Formula 1 - or, as they're better known, the FIA. The team is off to Paris to defend themselves against charges of misconduct. But this isn't any old trial. It's one not only of rights and wrongs, but also of personal wills, big egos, and power struggles. Strap in, because Spygate is going on trial… F1 style.

Joan Rhodes picked by Anna Maxwell Martin, star of Line of Duty and Motherland. Her choice is a lovely surprise, a strongwoman who could rip up phone books and bend nails. There's archive of her holding up 14 stone cricket commentator Brian 'Johnners' Johnstone in 1949 as well as the voice of the woman who knew her well - Triona Holden, author of An Iron Girl in a Velvet Glove. Abandoned by both her parents as a child, Joan Rhodes is an inspiring character who utterly merits her selection here. Anna Maxwell Martin is the double BAFTA winning actress who has starred in Bleak House, Poppy Shakespeare and Motherland. The presenter is Matthew Parris and the producer in Bristol is Miles Warde.
