It's our 100th episode, and we celebrate with a special behind-the-scenes look at some of the people who put Shire Network News together - our host, Brian of London, ace interviewer Tom Paine from Melbourne, and long-term contributor Meryl Yourish from Richmond, Virginia.
Doug Payton adds his personal congratulations, and Laurence Simon asks us to think about Ed Murrow's comments about television, and apply them to today.
There's a shortened blog news segment because of the three-way conference, including a plea for UK citizens who are forced by law to pay the BBC an annual ransom so a bunch of Guardian-reading Oxbridge creeps can spend your money to destroy everything you value, to take a very special BBC survey, which might, we are told, do some actual good.

In entirely unrelated news, special thanks go to agent "Nighthawk", in the Grey Lubyanka. The package has arrived. Stand by for further instructions.
London out.
