The Yule Log From HellThe Yule Log From Hell 2025 - Episode 6: Jump To Conclusions (a/k/a YLFH32!!!!)As year number 32 comes to a close (yes I know I said year 33 in episode 1) I just want to say thank you to all who have been listening and supporting this little podcast throughout the years.

Yes….30 YEARS!!!!! If you told me 30yrs ago that I would still be doing this I probably would have said that you were nuts. To use the cliché “labor of love” would not do it justice.
