Orbital 71 - GLaDOS Mar 21, 2018

Let's see if Gap can survive the possibility of a robot apocalypse on this episode of Orbital.

Orbital 70 - Sherlock Holmes Mar 07, 2018

If you have a mystery worth solving, who's the first person you would call? Sherlock Holmes of course! Assuming you knew his number. Luckily, Gap has the work around of a time machine and brought Sherlock in for some mystery solving of his own. Keys shall be found on this episode of Orbital.
