What up and welcome in to another edition of the Locked-on Bengles podcast. I'm James

Erpene, and it is great to be with you on a Friday. You can follow on Twitter at

James Ropeen and at Lockdown Bengel. Subscribe iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, the IHeart

radio app, and wherever you get your podcast. Normally we don't have a Friday show, but this week we didn't do a Monday show.
