We got this one in under an hour! Thanks to dinner arrangements we managed to keep this one tight whilst still giving the correct amount of praise to our choice of fantastic people who deserve a New Years Honour.  Richard Negus, Callum McInerney-Riley and Richard Prideaux start the new year by catching up on Christmas festivities and paying tribute to Mary Colwell, Stuart Pengs and Sam Mahoney.

A rather long and rambling (no surprise there) episode recorded in the week before Christmas 2024 -  Richard Negus, Callum McInerney-Riley and Richard Prideaux discuss their typical Christmas, past traditions, how taxidermied crows can help to save partridge, and which politician is currently in the bad books....

We won't be back next week but that gives you a chance to listen to this entire episode and hopefully enjoy the festive period.
