As I’m sure you’re all aware, 31 is a very special number.

For a start, it is a Mersenne number. A Mersenne number is a number of the form Mn=2^n-1 where n is an integer. The Mersenne numbers consist of all 1s in base-2, and are therefore binary repunits. The first few Mersenne numbers are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, … The Mersenne numbers are also the numbers obtained by setting x=1 in a Fermat polynomial. They also correspond to Cunningham numbers C^-(2,n).

Anyway, here at The Podcast Network, we’re less interested in mathematics and more intereted in LAFFS. And Show #31 is going to deliver them in spades…

Introducing…

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival Show!!

Covering the largest Arts Festival in the world, the Edinburgh Fringe Podcast (hosted by our very own mad Scotsman, Ewan Spence) is going to put you right in the middle of all the best clubs, acts, street performers, reviews and news from the Fringe.

I believe this is a first in podcasting. This is the first time a non-geek EVENT (in caps) has been PODCASTED. Revel in our glory.
