OMG, Mallory’s dad lost his job! The family makes minor economies for two weeks, he becomes a degenerate in casual clothes for a day or two, and then everything is fine again and they don’t even have to sell their ten-seater boat. PHEW. Meanwhile, Amanda Delaney has tragic wealth-related problems, and we are joined by a taciturn but lovable guest.

 

On today’s agenda: Aoife pulls off the ultimate BSC tribute; the text is compromised and we are not OK; Santa brings a depressing surprise; preteen murder ballads; workplace lingerie giveaways; intersectional school bullies; Mallory tries valiantly to make dibble happen; cinnamon allergy beauty hacks; the Drag Race to Tumblr slang pipeline; Mrs Pike becomes a big deal on Arpanet; a delicious limp salad; the Delaneys are too fancy for water safety; the true meaning of silly-billy-goo-goo; someone or other is a gobshite; Angie the tiny Olympian; the terrifying spectre of househusbandry; pizzaburger economics; eating oysters like a Homo Habilis; wish fulfilment monologues; Aunt Cecelia hits the mall.

 

Our theme song is "The Incredible Shrinking Larry" by Matt Oakley & "Big Band Jingle A" is by Lobo Loco, both on the Free Music Archive. If you like our show, tell a friend, rate and review on your podcast app of choice, and come say hi on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or Instagram! We also have a ko-fi and we're real self-conscious about it!
