Well, it happened. Nick got a job, Michael got arrested for shoplifting, and Deep Fought as it is must cease to be. Season 1 of it, at least. So if we're going out, we're going out with a bang - an extended, special edition finale to what has been an enormously enjoyable podcast to make and put out there. So while we hit pause for a little while - giving plenty of time for new and lapsed listeners alike to binge their way through the past forty episodes - internationally flavoured Season 2 episodes await in 2015. But until then, we must apologise, for this episode's mistakes include:

• Discovering a perfect podcast environment in the last episode after forty uncomfortable episodes preceding it.

It's the big 40, and we're talking about change. It's a surprisingly focussed but tangential episode, in that we know exactly what we want to talk about on topics that evolved rapidly. The question: what one thing would we change about the world? The answer may surprise you. I mean, it may not, but we don't know you well enough to judge yet. This episode's mistakes include:

• The longest intro we've ever done.

It might be the beginning of the end for one of us. Who? Why? When? It's sweeps week even for podcasts, and these are the kind of big budget stories that draw the crowds. You'll have to tune in to find out. This episode's mistakes include:

• An undertone of impending nostalgia for these last great days.

Gather round the pod table with close friends and their plus ones, for it's time for another episode. This week we launch headfirst into a discussion about living one life or ten lives, and then launch headlast away from that when it's clear it's not working. Luckily, we land in some new stuff like outback survival and dietary choices. This episode's mistakes include:

• A rough start in which we struggle uphill at a topic before bailing. Don't be afraid to run away from your problems, kids.

It's a podcast for the ages, because we're talking about myths and the way stories become legends. With a silent audience of three, and a surprising amount of energy, we explore what makes for a compelling fable and whether any events today will last in the same way. This episode's mistakes include:

• Artificially trying to pump up the energy levels, leading only to volume spikes.

This is a meaty one. We explore whether there are aspects of culture and life that are immutable. What parts of the human experience are permanent, and which parts could we stand to leave behind? Michael's brother Ben returns again to join us in this wide-ranging but surprisingly focussed discussion. This episode's mistakes include:

• Killing a puppy live on air.

Please put phones on silent in preparation for a loose chat that touches on some recent movies and their accompanying scores. It's of mild interest to both you and us, so we have that in common. This episode's mistakes include:

• Low energy and no real question leading to slow rambling.

Greetings, Earthlings. This week we talk about the growing interconnectedness of our species and the spread of globalisation across the... globe. It actually gets kind of good, much to our communal surprise. This episode's mistakes include:

• Cutting out a good five plus minutes of Helen Hunt chat for time. AND IT WAS ALL GOLD.

Ooohhh, what a haunting episode! It's almost All Hallows' Eve, so we got into costume for our thirty-third consecutive Great Episode. We eventually talk about some phobias and little things that frighten us. This episode's mistakes include:

• Recording at Nick's house for the first time ever, forever ruining our streak.

Get over it, and then like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, rate us on iTunes, and email questions to [email protected].

You've been waiting patiently. Too patiently, I think. Almost as if to suggest you weren't interested. Well bugger it, I wanted to. I'm a goddamn host, I can do what I want. Ahem. So, we talk over some of the implications of the new legislation on the table and the role and duty the government has in national security. This episode's mistakes include:

• Occasional audio hiccups due to new operating system and very close microphone talking.
