    Gather around to hear the tale of mystery, witches curses, dramatic reveals and inappropriate acrobatic endeavours. Also, why air isn't always free, how not to claim on your insurance, and what you shouldn't allow your dog to take part in.

    Welcome back for Season 2! We start off hitting the high seas, enjoying all the oceans' bounty and then never making eye contact with our crewmates again, and never being able to visit the aquarium for very normal reasons. Also contained within episode 1 - the invention of the fun snake, unendorse-able car mods and a football coach's frightening side hustle. We were joined by the fantastic Dave James! Davie is a Speaking and Presentation Coach and now 2 time (!!) Tedx Speaker.
