			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know, I know&#8230; I was horribly late with the editing on this one, but I swear that two weeks ago we recorded a new BF on the first day of the new decade! This one was a pretty straightforward retrospective, but the first time we actually had <a href="http://www.badphilosophy.com/blog/2009/01/01/episode-017-the-last-of-the-noughties/">an episode one year ago</a> that we could pull our predictions from. That&#8217;s right folks! BF&#8217;s run now straddles two new years! The venerable <a href="http://twitter.com/kevsaund">Kevin Saunders</a> joined me, alongside <a href="http://twitter.com/legmar">Matt Legler</a>, fulfilling his BF-imposed new years&#8217; resolution&#8230; one year later. There was reflection, prediction, and a solid dose of classic BF. Have a listen! And have a most excellent decade, everybody.</p>
