There was a problem with the audio in episode 423 which has been fixed. If you downloaded the first version you probably couldn't hear Joe properly and this episode 423a is for you. If you are late to the party and downloaded episode 423 after 2:45pm on Tuesday the 9th then you have probably downloaded the better audio which is exactly the same as this episode 423a. Hope that makes sense.
