"I'm sitting outside Sunderland Uni' on the river Wear, Northumberland"

writes CFR listener Justin Benn, who lives in Alnwick (home of Harry Potter’s castle) in Northumberland and is completing his MA in Media Production, Film and Video at Sunderland University. Through CFR, Justin and I also discovered that we have mutual first cousins!

And have you put yourself on CFR’s Frappr map?

See Ryan Naraine. Ryan is wearing a CFR hoodie purchased at the CFR CaféPress store. Ryan looks hot.

Now see Ryan Naraine sitting at the computer. Ryan is wearing a CFR hoodie. Ryan looks hot — and productive. (So hot and productive, in fact, that you can almost ignore the fact that he’s using a PC.) Judging from the look of deep concentration on his face and the earbuds in his ears, Ryan is probably not listening to CFR (which, after all, hasn’t released an episode in weeks). More likely he’s trawling the web for cricket news for the West Indies Cricket Weblog, while listening to some other more regularly updated podcast.
