Welcome to this week's episode, where we are making a stop at Whitechapel to visit Joseph Merrick, as so many people during the Victorian era did. He is otherwise known as the 'elephant man', due to his facial growths and the story given to his birth by the showman of the 'freak' show he was part of. His is an incredible story, although not the cheeriest! Come along and find out about the wonderful Joseph Merrick.

Plus we find out who won the Podcast Pedestal and Emily gets her sweaty hands on the wheel again for another chance to see where we will get to chat about next week.

Our lovely jingle writer Ben Morales Frost has a new musical on - the Sorcerer's Apprentice. It can be found at https://www.stream.theatre/season/25
