Eight of our ten regulars turned out to vote this week. The other two might have made the result a bit clearer. As it is, it's going to be a very crowded podium today. Luckily we have a clear winner. Spacepig follows up last week's win with another. Dust Mountain cleared out to 12 votes and easily gets first place. On 9 votes we have Val, Foe, Brass and KJS (no way am I doing a countback!). And then in third place, there's Tech on 6 points. Well done everyone, especially Spacepig. That concludes our "best of" for 2021 and normal viewing (and/or listening) will resume shortly.

Only Tech could get a bronze medal when 5 people finished ahead of him!
