You’ll have to forgive Peter his little gaffes tonight: last night was the evening of the Golden Twits Awards in which Litopia triumphed…  he’s been up a long time!  Fortunately, tonight’s  redoubtable and stout-hearted panel are more than capable of running the show without his intervention.  From the  Isle of Man there’s writer John Quirk; from England’s West Country there’s Dave Bartram; from an undisclosed location there’s international woman of mystery Emma Shortt; and from the azure Bahamas there’s Litopia’s own  Donna Ballman.

Topics covered on tonight’s show include:

• Why can’t military hardware have more female-friendly names?
• The CIA hired America’s most famous magician
• “Godfather of Spam” get 4 years in the big house
• Ten gadgets that will become obsolete by next year
• Fuggedabout Facebook – social networking is bad for your creativity
• Is NaNoWriMo giving hope to the hopeless?
• American woman claims she was defamed by a fictional character – and wins
• Faeries are turning into muscular hotties and sex bombs
