- Bullet Time
Guns. Dangerous things. Well, one end is. Really as long as you’re not standing in front of the little bit on the front you’ll be okay. They never point that out in gun statistics do they? What about all the people who were BEHIND the gun?
Having established that guns are safe, let’s use one to fire people to space! Woo! This is a great idea. Nothing can go wrong. Time for a warm audio ear bath. Dive in.

Scientists. What are they like, eh?
Not content with filling the world with “facts” and “ideas” they’re also very fond of weird experiments. One minute you’re waiting for the 49 bus, the next you’re being attacked by a murderous fog that’s escaped from a laboratory.
They also like removing and adding brains to things. And has that ever led to anything good? No. Well, that run is about to continue. Stick your ears right into this pile of noises, my friends.

19 min - The Shamhattan Project
BOOM!
I love mushrooms. They’re a tasty and healthy alternative to meat. And they’re great fried in butter, like so many things in life.
But what about mushroom clouds? They don’t taste so good in garlic and breadcrumbs.
How about an adventure about them though? That’s something you’d like isn’t it? Well, here you are. Sort of.
Mind the Russian accents. Keep your hands inside the car. Away we go!

- Crimea River
Pie charts. Not as fattening as the name suggests. They’ve been miscommunicating information for a long time now, and baffling people with their unnecessary 3D effects.
Of course the reason we have them at all is down to the ‘lady with the lamp’. She was always working in the dark which explains the bright default colours used on charts in Excel.
Regress with us now as if you’re in some fever dream, and experience the horrors of the Crimea war with a little bit of sauciness thrown in. And don’t come crying to us when you get trench foot.

15 min - Mystery Cubed
Wait, 2 counter-clockwise turns off the upper-level should… No… 3 clockwise rotations of the left-most sector will… No.
We all hate Rubik’s cubes. Hate them completely and utterly. More than life itself. But there are some total weirdos who do like them.
Join some of these fine people as they grapple with lining up little coloured squares, AND some of life’s biggest challenges.
Not everything is as it seems…
