1871

After three series of the 1871 Podcast, it's time to say a fond farewell, from Mark Roach, Johnny Hunt and Dylan Kerr.

We've had some fantastic guests over the last three series. Feel free to listen in to this episode, especially if you want to hear some chat about what Dylan Kerr got up to in Utopia back in the day.

But this episode comes with a warning: DO NOT TUNE IN if you don't want to imagine what Dylan looks like wearing just a pair of budgie smugglers!

A big thank you to everyone who has listened and watched the 1871 Podcast.
