I listen in from Canberra, Australia every week and by far the best Arsenal pod out there.
I emigrated in 2012, watch the games at stupid times of the day now and miss going to The Arsenal but appreciate the pod and all the excellent people that work and comment on it. Keep up the great work and thank you for keeping this Londoner in touch with his roots.
