NOTE:
For this episode I used a different editing program then the one I used the the previous episodes. \\xa0As a result the file size is almost 70% lower. \\xa0I guess the new program compresses the MP3 better than the previous one. \\xa0In my ear the quality still sounds pretty good. \\xa0 So you have the same great DisGeek taste with fewer calories! :)
