    OOO I like it, the only thing i would say is for those on dial up it would take a lloonnnggggg time to download it. Im on broadband so it didnt take that long but would like feedback from dial up users.

    Also it was weird to have martin read the tip, weird but fun :D

    I am on broadband and even that took well over a minute to load the file. Still, it was worth it. I had briefly scanned this week's money tip before listening to the audio and found it very helpful to not use my eyes to read, but my ears to listen to the info that Martin was giving. Even if I did not read the article beforehand, I would still find the audio helpful. Really easy to assimilate the info this way, and Martin has structured the comms in such a way that it gives you just enough info to understand the topic, and then refers you to the written article for more info. I really like it. Besides, this is a bit more interactive and fun. Something different.

    Am now looking forward to next week's mutterings ......
