Rural Concerns

Warhammer 40k, the church & leeks

Sunil talks about crushing his enemies whilst eating flapjacks, Chris reports back from the Leek Club AGM and the lads discuss the challenges facing Chris’ local church through the prism of a popular tabletop strategy game about space soldiers fighting for survival in the far future.

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.

The Kynren, basements & cupboards within cupboards

Sunil's being haunted, Producer James remembers the time some bloke lived in his basement and Chris has been celebrating Englishness. The lads also consider excellence in hospitality.

Air beans, man milk & a dog on a surfboard

With Chris on his way back to full health, Producer James reflects on his time queuing for Oasis tickets. Meanwhile Sunil has started frothing his milk which is at once surprising and inevitable. The lads also ask, what’s a goblin a metaphor for? The answer will shock you.

2 day hangovers, scotch eggs & lazy taxi drivers

Producer James is in the grips of a 40 something hangover, Sunil watches a really long film with London’s most eligible bachelors and Chris sounds like he’s going to cry throughout. The lads also get to grips with the economics of what it’s like to be a rural cabbie.

Noms, monsters & dashcams

Chris is nommed! Sunil has a dashcam! Producer James has to take over certain administrative functions! Like writing the blurb for the episode! It's not as worthy of an award nomination as usual, is it?

Strictly, Sean & a very topless producer

The lads are back! Producer James is fresh from a family holiday, Sunil addresses some hot gossip and Chris is losing his God damned mind. Aka classic Rural Concerns!

Bonus | Edinburgh Fringe Special

Chris is at the Edinburgh Fringe, Producer James is on a Family Holiday and Sunil is vaping.

Bowls, boundaries & a heartfelt apology

Sunil hits the bowling green, Producer James continues to stoke regional division and Chris accelerates into corners. The lads also read a stinging letter from Chris’ pal.
