We breakfast with Lyra and Pan in this strange new world, as she carefully crafts her first ever omelette with pride. Will and Lyra discuss their next move, as two strange children appear in the deserted town and explain where they are and why everything is so quiet.

Join us, as we review the weird and wonderful history of processed food, rage about toxic femininity and take you on a virtual tour of real-world Oxford!
