This week, listener Jake asks the PLPSA if his girlfriend’s terrible luck could in fact be the universe punishing her for her habit of stealing bits and bobs from shops, and even friends’ houses. Di nerds out with a full-on statistical study, and finds a selection of terribly helpful websites, where you can buy moth larvae, or order animal poo to be sent to your enemies. Meanwhile Sarah pulls three of the most dramatic and ominous cards in the tarot deck. Our Card Of The Week section offers advice to you, the listener, whenever and wherever you might hear it.

This week, the PLPSA makes some psychic and logical suggestions to listener Georgia, whose grieving dad has taken up extreme sports. Should a trepidatious Georgia do the tandem skydive her dad wants them to do, to celebrate her late mum’s birthday? In a first for PLPSA, Sarah spiritually connects with Georgia’s mum,to get her take on things. Meanwhile Di investigates adrenaline, parachute manufacture, and which airfields serve the best cakes. (Spoiler alert: it looks like it might be Dunkeswell Aerodrome or Skydive Hibaldstow - links below.) Our Card Of The Week section offers advice to you, the listener, whenever and wherever you might hear it.

While Di investigates Atlantic shipping routes and how to thaw frozen sperm, Sarah celebrates strong, independent women with the Queen of Swords, and brings her own, spiritual, meaning to the phrase “toxic jizz”. Our Card Of The Week section offers advice to you, the listener, whenever and wherever you might hear it. And there's even a preview of our next episode at the end.
