I haven't watched the show yet but the preview image made me laugh! Charles wears a jacket, Brian a sweater and Dan a shirt... and all are in the same tiny room
Edit: Great show guys... and Charles you are really great also in front of the camera.

I just watched this video podcast today, and was wondering about DiffMerge. I've used
