0:00.0	You are listening to Three Moves Ahead, the official podcast of Flash of Steel.com.
0:08.0	I am your host, Troy Goodfellow, and with me today is a much smaller panel than last week's full slate.
0:14.7	We have freelance writer Tom Chick.
0:16.8	Hello, everyone.
0:17.9	If anybody in the course of this podcast would like a coffee, let me know and I'll run into the kitchen and get you one.

1:23.2	we will have Vic Davis to speak to us about SI.
1:27.5	Listeners of the podcast may know that Vic was our first guest on the very first episode of Three Moves Ahead and what has now become known as the lost episode of Three Moves Ahead since it was so terrible, we nuked it from orbit.
