Today's topic for discussion is all about pod-fade, why it happens, and how to get over it, and I want to hear from you about how you've overcome the doldrums. Because, you know, it's *never* happened to me, hashtag winky face.

As you're listening to this show, I'm actually travelling. It's the week after Thanksgiving here in the States, and I've got places to be. You know, important stuff. For grown-ups.

Because of that, I'm skipping the news, and we'll pick up on that again next week, but I do still want to talk to you about the DeBreath plugin, as I promised, and before I get to that, there's one other hot topic I want to address – Net Neutrality.

• FCC Plans to repeal Obama-era Net Neutrality rules
• Net Neutrality guidelines, 2015
• COMMENT NOW: Official FCC comments website for net neutrality

• Waves DeBreath plugin
