OVFF 42: Oct 30-Nov 1, 2025. Said the guests too fast for me to catch them all.

For one week starting October 26, Europe goes back to standard time, but the US and Canada don't till a week later. This affects online event timing. For example, if you'd normally catch Eurofilk (6 PM Swedish time) at noon Eastern time, this week it will be 1 PM.
