Some more good news to share with you.

So huge thanks to the WIP team for their support, and you may recall Thibaut from WIP appeared on show #3 – you can watch him in action below:

Chris and I have been really pleased with how HashBang has developed so far. Over the span of 9 shows we hope you agree that we have considerably improved the quality of the output, including launching the companion Podcast.

Now we are pretty happy with the product our next challenge is to get it out there, and to boost the audience figures. If you own a blog or know someone that does, please get in touch to help spread the HashBang gospel!
