We will be going live tomorrow night with louder than life Dan Mangano and his better half Sarah Bright. 7:30 ESDT is when we kick off (providing we can figure this out!!!)
This will be the first time we are doing live over pre-recorded. Apologies in advance.... It's a completely new software and we can't practise using it beforehand.

Massive thank you to Dan and Sarah for being our guinea pigs!!!

Hey guys
I don't think the episode with Darren Whittaker and Brent Smith will be coming out this month. 🤬🤬🤬

Once again Squadcast/Descript has given me a totally jumbled podcast with us all talking over the top of each other, and the customer service response is "download it again". Downloading each conversation separately puts one after the other, not in different layers. Currently trying to find another platform as this happens more often that not, and considering going live to cut down editing time.

Massive apologies to Daz and Brent who stayed up waaaaay past their bedtime as we talked till midnight. I would also like to apologise to the listeners who were looking forward to the episode. If I cannot make it work, we will definitely get the boys back on as it was a great chat.

26/03/2025

Last night we sat down with the mischievous mates Darren Whittaker and Brent Smith. Some of the things discussed where the amazing breeding projects the boys have been doing over the years, their latest venture The Reptile House, morphs, reptile expos, snake bites, breeding, what it's like to own and manage huge collections and so much more!
