This is the second of 2 GBA Extras that are coming out today.

They are connected thematically so be sure to check out the first one: http://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-extra-the-partition

I tell the story of how my family came to get a dog.

This one is a story I told at the Spark London open mic which is held Upstairs @ The Ritzy in Brixton. The Spark has its own podcast that is around the same length as this episode. They release them very regularly and they feature people telling true stories live on stage. Find them on iTunes, Stitcher or MixCloud: http://www.mixcloud.com/sparklondon/
