My first hairy little toe, dipped into the world of podcasting. In this first episode, we get festive as f*** as I dive into a recent trip to Bruges and talk about the duality of this gorgeous city, as both a wonderfully cosy and festive city to visit, but also as a bit of a consumerist tourist trap that appears to milk Santa Clause dry to get coin from visitors.

While it truly is a f**king fairytale town, it turns out Bruges has a dodgy side; Santa was originally an evil slave-driver and for 10 euros you can visit a self-proclaimed vampire's creepy old mansion (and get a free mojito).

I still have no idea if it's supposed to be spelled 'Brugge' or 'Bruges', so we're going to trust Colin Farrel on this one.

Tune in for all that, and more!
