    Guesses Where Paul & Brad Are Travelling To?

    Paul and Brad keep teasing a big plane trip they have coming up.

    I’m wondering if they’re going to Microsoft Ignite Australia? The event is coming up in February (14th to 17th) and from the Eastern US it is a damn long trip (much longer than the European flights they do semi-regularly)

    What does everyone else think?

    P.S: I’d love it if they did go to Microsoft Ignite Australia (especially if they hosted an event open to non conference attendees), because the conference is being hosted about an hour away from where I live. So my guess may be coloured by a want too, but I think it’s a pretty reasonable guess ?

    Just a quick site suggestion: For the menu at the top of site site, where there's a podcasts item, it would be great if that displayed a dropdown menu with the 4 podcasts (First Ring Daily, The Sams Report, What The Tech & Windows Weekly) so that I could go directly to the Hub for each of those podcasts from that menu.
