  • DTD533 Desk Workout
    With a new intro and outro, in today's episode we're really turning over a new leaf. No, it's not about a curiosity in botany (I certainly haven't made a new start with regards my terrible puns) but rather promising ourselves to be more active when sitting for long periods.

  • DTD531 Oz Slang
    Phillip Chalker from Down Under brings us a fascinating insight into Ozzie slang. Great demo but I can't help feeling sorry for Greta Garbo - or should that be Greta Garbage-lady?

  • DTD530 World Cup Quiz
    Sam to the rescue today. What this guy doesn't know about football could be written on a penalty spot with a crayon the size of a goalpost. OK - so we didn't get through to the final, but don't tell these guys who, at the time of recording, were still blissfully unaware…

  • DTD529 Would You Rather for Family

    Today the brilliant Rob and Juliet Winter are back to show us how we can add music to Amazon Unlimited playlists (go unlimited for £3.99 a month for one device or £9.99 on all your devices - £7.99 for Prime members) and then I top things off with a quick look at how you can create and add to playlists in Amazon Prime Music too. And phew is it still hot!
