Tom’s Martini on National Radio

martini - stirred, not shakenFor those who missed Tom dis­cuss­ing his Wel­ling­ton Mar­tini mis­sion on Kim Hill’s Sat­urday morn­ing Nation­al Radio, here’s a stream­ing mp3 link of the show. (Just click on it – it should fire up your default mp3 play­er and play the file. Don’t know how long the link will stay act­ive, though.)

If win­dows media format is more your thing (and, if it is, may we recom­mend you review your digit­al media usage options), then head over the Nation­al Radio site and try chan­ging the set­tings there.
