Welcome to Long Distance, Bit Weird, a podcast from international comedy couple Sooz Kempner and Michael Balazo. One of them lives in the UK, the other in Canada.

This week Sooz and Michael are together on one of the nicest couches in Britain! You won't believe your ears as they recount their exciting week together, featuring everything from slugs to surprise parties to England's triumphant World Cup opening game. It's going home.

PLUS: a new edition of the hit segment "Actual Customer Letters to Wetherspoon News," featuring authentic steamy footage of Margaret Thatcher and Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet!
