In January, Helen and Martin the Sound Man went on a jaunt to California. In San Jose, podcast fan Alison kindly showed them around; but the only photo of them all together was taken in front of a boring hotel entrance. See?

They uploaded the results to photobucket.com/answermethis, and lo, we did admire them.
