Dungeness, jet office & personal drones

Chris’ advice puts a friend in a tough spot, Sunil visits the silliest office ever and James continues to be smug about his internet speed test. The lads also discuss the logistics of having a personal drone.

Vibes, recycling & censorship

Chris and Sunil go boots in on the biggest political podcast of the age which makes Producer James incredibly nervous. The lads also read a letter from a young lad who’s studying rubbish. This episode definitely is not a US election special!

Community pub, Euston & ouija board etiquette

Chris gives us the lowdown on a newly opened countryside pub, Sunil reveals a secret about the most chaotic rail terminus in London and much to Producer James’ chagrin, the lads agree to prioritise free speech over pleasing corporate overlords. The boys also read a letter from a young man who’s living the dream.

Oddballs, seasonal drinks & Lord Patel

It’s a topsy turvy episode as Chris is in London and Sunil’s been to the countryside! The lads discuss troublemakers, Pumpkin Spice lattes and just how many people need to die before Sunil can take up his rightful position as ruler of the British people. Quite a testosterone-y episode; there’s a bit too much swearing and James talks about his bowel movements. Sorry!

Threats, fit listeners & Farmer Buggerton

Farmer Buggerton returns to teach Sunil all about competitive leek growing. Can Chris keep it together and will James chill out about death threats? Spoiler alert: the answer to both is no.

Gravel, village pubs & the sight

Chris reveals his dad’s a paranormal tuning fork, Sunil takes receipt of a metric ton of gravel and Producer James could make Christmas boring. Easily the most chaotic start to an episode.
