The Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast
Welcome to the worst podcast in the known world! Being partial to Scifi and electronic stuff we find enjoying many not so ordinary things happens a to us often. Doing a podcast just happens to hit most or all of that. We try not to narrow the podcast down to one niche but we like to move around. You might need to hang on. Sunny shows up in most episodes. He likes to add a word or as many as he can get in. We have our revisiting guest Lily come aboard as much as possible. We hope you will join us often.
