Here we are again as we wrap up November, and ready ourselves to unwrap Christmas. We find ourselves somehow ruminating on the state of the social contract whilst discussing gateway drugs that introduce you to a lifetime of addiction to the festive season, as partners start topping up decorations, and the all important, and annual, new set of fairy lights

Weather, pannage pork and weird shaped members of the cauliflower family hint at light and frothy podcast content, where, once we’ve lulled you into a false sense of security, we hit you with weighty analysis of the farmer inheritance tax ripple of discontent or of a Trumpian, dystopian future, awaiting many following America voting against itself, blissfully unaware of this duo’s experienced (Ed. !) political insight. The rest is (are) revolting.

Summing up on another short break, induced by medical interventions, we determined to leave you with a flourish of festive cheer as we began to discuss the onset of Christmas traditions and eager anticipation of the happy times ahead.

As we hurtle towards our 50th episode which we’ll hit sometime early in 2025, we thank you once again for listening, to our asymmetrical brand of topical chat, local guidebook and commentary on diverse matters for which lack of qualifications have never been an obstacle.

Stay tuned for more Christmas crackers and seasonal snippets in the weeks ahead as we celebrate Love Actually, with only 5 weeks to go until until Christmas, the gateway drug to all the festive cheer you can stomach.

Thanks for listening

Tim and Rory
