Episode 12: Costello and the Cougars :)
A long overdue podcast that was recorded back in mid-November. I’ve been busy in work which hasn’t helped the added evening tiredness but better late than never. However it turns out its casting is timely as we invited our velvet-voiced guest Alan Costello on the show as Rosemary had noticed him tweeting about Glee which finally started in Ireland with a special preview on e3 last night. I gather that we won’t be shown the next episode until January. Flipping Christmas specials!
Also I’ve just noticed that all the YouTube video stills below feature women but not necessarily in any way I would normally like women to be portrayed on my site. However that’s kind of the point.

06m29s There’s all manner of weird stuff on YouTube. Not a revelation but Rosemary has been watching 7 year olds in thigh high boots and Alan has seen a Brazilian 9 year old in a frame by frame re-shoot of Britney’s Toxic. Couldn’t find Alan’s video but Rosemary’s find is truly shocking. Those of a nature please look away now.
07m31s I say you’re all too old to remember when I should say too young. I say it in a real Granny-ish voice and I hope that was an affect I was trying to achieve… Anyway too young to remember the MiniPops
