Join the team as they write their very own appendix to the Orkneyinga Saga, having decided, quite sensibly, to attempt to travel to the archipelago during Storm Amy. Yeah, that one. Another St. Kilda? It's the hope that kills yer. Between the tempest, storm and wind we find the puff to discuss Peter Marshall's 'Storm's Edge: Life, Death and Magic in the Islands of Orkney' and Tanith Lee's 'When The Lights Go Out'. Are there lots of big rocks, too? Yes, of course there are, stonebaggers! So, heed the call of the curlew, ride the Skateboard of Doom, and hang on to your bacon bap in this latest unmissable episode of: A VOICE IN A VAN (distant thunder)

A first-class (cricketing) episode in which the team discusses Dorothy Edwards's 'Winter Sonata' and 'Rhapsody and Other Stories', together with Claire Flay's study of the author and Michael Moorcock's 'Hawkmoon' quartet. Along the way, we go to pieces over quilts, find a pub (I know, you're shocked) in a heritage museum, and hunt for Welsh cakes in Cardiff's arcades. Expect big Belgian bottles, 250 years of impressionism, and ripples of polite applause from the stands. We'll have you in stitches in no time - because there is no time in a multiverse, right? Jolly well played.

The team batten down the hatches at Norman's Bay, blithely hanging on to the roof while they discuss Monica Dickens's 'Mariana', Mary Chamberlain's 'Fenwomen', Ronald Blythe's 'Akenfield', and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's 'Anti-Oedipus'. There is singing, but don't worry, it's not a shanty.

Rumours of their demise having been greatly exaggerated, the team is back with a roundup of where we've been, and where we wish we hadn't been. We also have a chat about Dorothy Richardson's 'Journey to Paradise', 'Virago Modern Classics Short Stories', ed. Lynn Knight, 'The Persephone Book of Short Stories', Frederic Jameson's 'The Years of Theory', and Todd McGowan's 'The Cambridge Introduction to Jacques Lacan'.

Join the team in Fetlar Hall car park at the most easterly point of their latest Shetland odyssey through Mainland, Yell, Unst, and Fetlar for a stormy chat (the weather, not the team) about 'Sea Bean' by Sally Huband, George Mackay Brown (I mean, we sailed past Orkney, so that's OK?), Odin the voracious otter, and an obliging red-necked pharalope. We get megalithic, baby, at Stanydale Temple among half a dozen other Modern Antiquarian bullseyes, and play Gloomhaven solo spin-off Buttons & Bugs with two players because that's just the kind of boardgaming desperados we are. Featuring a surprise guest appearance by a tractor. Well, it surprised us, anyway. You'll be ready for it now, though.

In which the team recount, in a state of mild euphoria*, their adventures in the Western Isles. Featuring Rosalie Fry's 'Child of the Western Isles', Slavoj Žižek's 'Christian Atheism: How to be a Real Materialist', and an unmissable opportunity to pay homage to a 1970s hot dog advert. *This may just have been the flu caps.
