This week we're trying something new. A pre-recorded episode where Les talks about Pi news, reviews, projects and demos some new LEDs that he has on his desk.
In the future, the intro and transitions between the segments will be part of the live show, giving it a little more of a magazine feel. Constructive criticism is most welcome.
