Episode Number: 74Pendulums, we are about to give you the most vital mission you will undertake on this one particular Sunday... drop by iTunes and leave us some reviews! It's the best way to help new people find our shows, which means more listeners and more Pendulums and more shows in the long run. And that is something we all want, so get reviewing! They don't even have to be long, one sentence will do, and we'll thank you forever. While you're at it, why not submit your script to our Parsec Award-winning anthology show, "Seminar"? And maybe submit some questions for Johnny Franks to "Active Radioactive Radio"? WE'RE JUST DYING FOR YOUR INTERACTION, basically. And keep your eyes open for an "Archer and Armstrong"-related surprise in the month of July! We've got preview trailers for "The Kingery" episode 809 and Sonnets 10 in "The Pendant Shakespeare", as well as an exclusive clip of "Active Radioactive Radio" episode 5, and Jordan and Blake Howard discuss funny voices, introversion and multiple hats! We could be TWIP heroes... just for one day.
