UPDATE - Please click above to tune in to today's Clubland Q&A with guest host Melissa Howes.
The good news is we have a brand-new upgraded audio player that, in addition to some new bells and whistles, is more user-friendly. Particularly in "remembering" where you left off if you need to pause. (And, if logged in, between devices.)
The bad news is that above had to be recorded live to tape in a less-than-ideal environment, so the sound is a bit tinny. My apologies for that - don't blame the audio player, blame the dame!
Please tune-in at 3pm North American Eastern/ 8pm British Summer Time for an hour of questions from Steyn Clubbers around the planet on today's edition of our Clubland Q&A.
To ask a question, simply log-in and enter your question as you would a comment. Due to tricky logistics today, we ask that you please enter your question early. (You do not have to wait for the show to start -though your question will not appear on the screen until then.)
Mark is away so that means the mice get to play...and that means a good old-fashioned gloat-fest after the fabulous news last week.
Here-with the perfect primer for the topic (plus a dose of Steyn to hopefully prevent any withdrawal symptoms). This episode of The Ann & Phelim Scoop includes a segment with Mark that was recorded on the recent Mark Steyn Cruise with friends Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer:
On today's show, we will take questions on this case and anything else that tickles your fancy.
Whether or not you're a member of The Mark Steyn Club, you can listen to our show live as it happens wherever you chance to be on this turbulent earth: Club membership is required only to ask a question. As much as we cherish the loyalty of our First Week Founding Members, we love to hear from brand new Steyn Clubbers. Among the additions to our ranks in recent days are newbies from around the globe - from Boston to Bulgaria, Wellington to Wokingham, Cairns to Kamloops. If you've joined upon the occasion of our eighth anniversary either for a full year or a see-how-it-goes experimental quarter, do shoot me a head-scratcher for today's show.
But, if you're not interested in joining, no worries, as they say in Oz: We seek no unwilling members - and as always the show is free to listen to, so we hope you'll want to tune in. So see you back here at 3pm North American Eastern - which is 8pm in London and Dublin, 9pm in Paris and Berlin, 10pm in Kiev and Moscow; half-past-ten in Teheran; midnight-forty-five in Kathmandu; 3am in Singapore and Honkers (sorry about that); 6am in Sydney and Melbourne; 8am in Auckland, and an even more civilised hour for the kippers and kedgeree in His Majesty's Dominions eastward across the Pacific, where you're so far ahead Michael E Mann's probably lost his appeal by now...
