Whoa, better late than never! Hey everyone, join us for the previous Windows Phone Central podcast, episode 161, which we've finally managed to pull the audio from August 21st. Our apologies on that as we transition over to a new format.

Oh and if you're looking for today's Microsoft-Nokia special podcast, that too is coming up later this evening (or you can watch the replay here). Stay tuned.
