Luke and Jon mark the birth of London's Metropolitan Police, uncover the horsey origin of “constable”, revisit a Battle of Britain correction and survive another quiz night. Along the way there are listener messages, GeoWizard, William Shatner, a theatre review, the old-web search engine Wiby, two kilos of cheese and a plan to buy an industrial box of Tic-Tacs.More

Luke and Jon finally press record, then walk through AI doom, Salisbury theatre plans, old television adverts, the corrected rules of stone skimming and the strange history of Wednesday. There is a crisps-only pub experiment, an accidental lesson in Woden and a tour of Colin from Accounts, Movie Scene Map, odd marketplace finds and the rusty speaker stands that give this wandering episode its title.More

Episode 60 begins with a recording mishap, a cold, a rum and Pepsi, and a walk through Battle of Britain Day. Luke and Jon compare Arabica and Robusta, investigate the Phoebus light-bulb cartel, decode a Klingon message, launch Consumption Junction, review Flowers for Algernon, learn pandiculation and get unexpectedly serious about the World Stone Skimming Championships.More

Luke and Jon head out in shorts for a wet, increasingly autumnal walk, discuss Star Trek's surprisingly prophetic technology, clear up some old housekeeping and launch a new review feature with Apple TV's Silo. There's also coffee, Klingon, 60,000 photographs, a tour of the early internet and a roadside height restriction that supplies the episode title.More

Luke and Jon return with boozy chocolates, gifted socks and an unexpected BBC Radio Solent plug before taking a Titanic detour. They revisit the wreck's secret Navy connection, the Titan implosion and a wasp-versus-caterpillar encounter, then clear up old questions, rate Ludo, celebrate petrichor, remember ZX Spectrum programming and debate pasta, space hoppers and getting back to weights.More

Luke and Jon are back from holiday with stories about France, Spain, pools, golf, giant suitcases and the financial incentives of recycling bottles. They revisit Galileo’s telescope, tidy up some historical loose ends, investigate the surprisingly wholesome origins of gossip, rate a coffee and wonder whether anyone really wants two bottles of Facebook mayonnaise for a quid.More

Holiday preparations, Premier Inn upgrades and a festival review lead into the Pendle Witch Trials, planned obsolescence, nuts, airport security and a mysterious rusty eyelet. There is a pub rating, listener correspondence, a Japanese proverb, questionable jokes, favourite holiday transport and a lexicon entry about the magical history of “spell”, before the episode wanders through the Beatles, fake hands and pasta.More

Luke and Jon return to familiar ground with camping mishaps, a belated birthday gift and a bench overlooking the sea. Enid Blyton, listener corrections, ferries and pub ratings give way to planned obsolescence, Linux, alien etymology, favourite nuts and some deeply questionable marketplace finds. It is an ordinary Southbourne walk with an unusually cinematic view.More

Jon and Luke take the podcast off-road for a hot campsite walk near Lymington. Traffic-light history, railway signals and a hidden country pub lead into a refreshing shandy discovery, camping etymology and the surprising relationship between campaigns and Champagne. There is also hangxiety, holiday planning, bamboo underwear and plenty of noisy sandals on gravel.More

Jon and Luke begin year two with a morning off-roader, swapping pub pints for coffee and catching up after the anniversary crawl. Thomas Cromwell, tarmacadam, language myths and listener complaints all feature before the conversation reaches hangxiety, a possible Simon Sausage imposter, unusual afterlife options and a disturbing dental mannequin.More
