Not only do you send us all those <a href="https://answermethis.wordpress.com/questions">questions</a> we live to answer, but now <strong>pictures</strong> as well!  Going straight onto the <em>Answer Me This!</em> fridge is this drawing by <strong>Alison from San Jose</strong> (click for a bigger image):<br />

Alison writes:</p>
<p><em>As I listen to your podcast my mind makes up images of what the place you record in looks like. I decided to sketch out what I picture in my head. I have no idea if I&#8217;m right, though&#8230;what if your &#8220;recording studio&#8221; is really an old rec room or someone&#8217;s bedroom? What if you&#8217;re all just sitting around on a bed leaning over to share a computer microphone? I much prefer to picture you in a professional-type studio with fancy microphones, a laptop for quick research, and Martin in his own fancy sound booth. So Helen and Ollie, answer me this, what does your recording studio look like?</em></p>
<p>Alison, we hate to disappoint you, so let&#8217;s just say that our recording studio is even fancier than <a href="http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/food/mr-kipling-french-fancies/1076258/">Mr Kipling&#8217;s French Fancies</a>.  It looks almost exactly like this, although you can&#8217;t quite see the 18-carat gold ceiling in this picture:<br />

<p>Oh, ok &#8211; our studio isn&#8217;t <em>quite</em> as snazzy as that one, but let&#8217;s keep Alison&#8217;s dream alive a little longer&#8230; Meanwhile, before we reveal the prosaic reality of Where The Magic Happens, if any of the rest of you feel like sending us a picture of what you think the studio looks like, we&#8217;d be quite delighted.  Please email it to <b><a href="mailto:answermethispodcast@googlemail.com">answermethispodcast@googlemail.com</a></b>, and we&#8217;ll post it up here, just like Tony Hart might have done if he hadn&#8217;t retired.</p>
