The History of Byzantium 
Hey Robin! A few months ago you appeared with Mike Duncan on the Sound Education Conference. Is there a recording of it anywhere online?
We are still waiting for it to be published online. I did ask about it but was told to be patient since they are all volunteers 🙂
Alright! I’ll keep that in mind.
