@birchtree.me's on his own for this one, as Chris and Niléane managed to both get sick at the same time. Fear not, we get to rant and rave about the latest "Xbox"!

I'm happy to announce ChapterPod, an app for adding chapters to podcast files, is now available to download!
I've been using this for about 6 months behind the scenes to do all the chapters for Comfort Zone, and it's easily the best tool for the job (for me, at least).

Light mode/white backgrounds have caused me a lot of physical pain today.
