tWoTcast is born
Jono, Joe and Tom, after having several drunken conversations almost entirely consisting of the Wheel of Time, decide they should record these drunken ramblings and make them available to the public. Tom's idea. Little did they know more than one person would actually listen to them. Jono coins the name tWoTcast. Joe concedes after long debate and under duress.
