It's everybody's favourite red sunglasses-toting circular mascot - Cool Spot! This week, we play 1993's 'advergame' in which you control the titular little guy around a platforming odyssey. He has since faded into obscurity. Should the game do similar? Find out by listening! Not only that but you'll also find out Ashley's top tip for making a refreshing tea-based soft drink, the unlikely genesis of that 90s Disney cartoon 'Pepper Ann' and a diversion into American composer Tommy Tallarico. All in just over half an hour. What a ride!
