In Episode Seven of the Anecdotally podcast, Bethan manages to impale herself on a hop and set off the fire alarm by cooking offal in the first minute and a half. Greer is crying yet again but this time over her Media Studies A-level. We get a ‘thong update’ as well as an introduction and swift conclusion to Rafe, the gerbil.

7: Rafe The Gerbil's Very Short and Wet Life

Anecdotally is a new comedy podcast hosted by childhood friends Greer Riddell and Bethan Poyser. New episodes released weekly, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts and more. It's the year 2009 and at a Grammar School in Dover, Greer and Bethan probably aren't listening to their Latin teacher and instead eating a whole cheesecake behind a book in a lesson. Fast forward a decade later, Bethan is procrastinating from her PhD and Greer is trying to stop social media making her depressed so they decided to make a podcast together.
