Something's changed — and it's bigger than just a name.

After four seasons as Television Times, the podcast has a new title: All My Clothes Need Burning. Steve explains why the change makes sense, where the title came from, and what Season 5 is going to look like.

• Why Television Times always felt like a TV listings show to people who'd never heard it — and why that got old
• Where the title All My Clothes Need Burning comes from — and why it was too good to keep in a drawer
• The new format: funny stories from the road, the set, the tour bus, and the moments that didn't go to plan — from guests and from Steve himself

Paul Critoph returns for the annual TV debrief — a builder who didn't have the right tool, a cat called Dumpling, and approximately four hours of opinions about 2025 television.

Paul Critoph is an actor and regular friend of the podcast, joining Steve for the third consecutive end-of-year television review — the one where they figure out which shows they've actually both watched.

• Why Alien Earth started brilliantly and then made its xenomorphs bulletproof in broad daylight — and why that ruins everything
• Squid Game 2 and 3: the hide and seek episode that was genuinely brilliant, the policeman on a boat for far too long, and why the ending made them angry instead of emotional
• The Summer I Turned Pretty — a show aimed at teenage girls that Paul's wife binged entirely while Paul occasionally wandered in to ask who Conrad and Jeremiah were
• Why Andor is the best Star Wars thing since The Empire Strikes Back — and why it's really a show about fascism and how it gets its tendrils into communities
• Black Mirror's return to form — and why the Bandersnatch multiple-choice situation still annoys Steve
• The Bear: essentially someone chopping a radish very slowly while looking moody, for weeks on end

Steve empties the whiteboard, clears his head, and has an honest conversation about what making this podcast actually feels like from the inside — the burnout, the uncertainty, the ads he hates, and why he's seriously considering living in the woods.

This is a bonus solo episode featuring no guest, one very good cup of coffee, and more honesty than most podcasts manage in a full series.

• A full rundown of every podcast Steve actually listens to — from Memory Lane and Parenting Hell to The Rest Is Politics, Louis Theroux, What Did You Do Yesterday, and why Bill Maher is simultaneously brilliant and infuriating
• Why the end of a season brings on the funk — and what it's like running a podcast entirely solo with no producer, no team, and no idea who's listening
• The comedy character he's been developing in his head for years: a sound engineer with a broken mixing desk, a Mick Hucknall lyric, and a show provisionally titled Knob Jokes
• The treacherous taxi ride at 3,000 metres in the Bolivian Andes to reach the schoolhouse where Che Guevara was killed — and the song he eventually wrote about it
