  • The Hitchhiker's Guide to Holidays

    Summer flings on Bethselamin, camping holidays in pissing Southport, the Holiday Theory of Relativity, and the inevitable books that followed on from Veet Voojagig's classic about Biros. All of this, plus the question: Zaphod Beeblebrox – sexist bully or scoundrel of his time?

  • Christmas in the Shack
    Dec 24 2021

    One of the many major problems with producing podcasts is that of who you get to do it, or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarise: it is a well-known and much limited fact that those people who most want to produce podcasts are ipso facto those lists duty to do it. To summarise the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made a podcast producer should a no account be allowed to do the job. To summarise the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

    And so this is the situation we find: a succession of podcast producers who so much enjoy the fun and palavra of being in power that they never really noticed that they're not. And somewhere in the shadows behind them, who? Who can possibly rule, if no one who wants to can be allowed to?

  • Towel Day 2021
    May 25 2021

    To commemorate Towel Day 2021, Mark, Danny, and the Jons present the worst bits of Beware of the Leopard. These are all the bits that are normally cut from the main body of the episode and shoved to the back, to sit in shame and think about what they did. Now we're bringing them out into the light for you to judge, share, and hopefully on some level, enjoy.


    New episode coming in the next couple of weeks, promise.
