Summary
For those of you who couldn't make it to our live show on November 15th - don't fret - it was recorded.
Here's what it sounds like to do an episode to a sell-out crowd.
The episode itself was recorded just like a normal one, featuring the inimitable author John Baxter, a story from tour guide Corey Frye, and a few words from Abby, who runs Set in Paris where the event was hosted.
Plenty of pics from the event over at www.theearfultower.com
