Welcome to the Spawn Shunks episode number 174 for Monday, January 3rd, 2022.

My name is Joel Duggan and joining me as always is Johnny, but you may know him better

as PixelRiffs.

Happy New Year, sir.

Happy New Year to you, and if you folks want to hear a little bit more about what we've

got up to in the last little while, including Joel adding to his audio-visual experience

through some interesting new kit for watching movies at home or what I've been doing playing

a Gartick phone with my family, you can hear more about that in the rendered instance.

That's the extended version of the podcast that we record every week for our patrons.

You can get in on the extended conversation at patreon.com slash the Spawn Shunks.

And speaking of that, it is of course the first episode of the month, indeed the first

episode of the New Year.

So once again, thanks to everybody who stuck around and supported us on Patreon as we head

into the New Year.

Your support is always appreciated and helps make this show possible.

Oh no.

Yeah, I mean, there was, well, three weeks, I guess there was a spot before the holidays

where I did one stream and then I did the Lego stream.

And then over Christmas, I was threatening, I was saying I was going to do some extra

streams.
