Holding the Quill - Season 2 Episode 5 "Christmas with the Carpets!" (with special guest Greg Falla from Cereal Killers Podcast)

Drinks and Grodes are here with a very special Christmas themed episode 5 of the second season of HTQ! 

Christmas is almost here and Drinks and Grodes are full of festive cheer discussing Drinks' stubby bush, a 90s Christmas film starring Danny DeVito and saviour Nuns. There's three fantastic call-ins from our favourite listeners including one caller who has recently taken up poetry since being let go from work and Drinks delivers a Quill-literature which reflects on the heroes of 2020 and how we should strive to behave in 2021. One half of the Cereal Killers Podcast, Greg Falla, kindly joins and entertains us in Quill-Legacy where his cereal knowledge is truly put to the test in the hope of putting the Guests 3-2 up in the series. Wishing all of our Quill-LADS and Quillettes a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Holding the Quill - Season 2 Episode 4 - "Like Phil Tufnell... you can't silence me!" (with special guest Kat Kasisopa)

Drinks and Grodes are back with another delightful episode of HTQ where an unplanned recent Quill-Fail is announced involving one of the Quill-LADS, a regular caller contacts the show challenging Grodes about him delivering "FAKE NEWS" on the show, and a long time emailer also calls in to update us on his thoughts about Lockdown 2.0 in the UK. Elsewhere there is a feline-based Quill-Literacy from Drinks and comedian Kat Kasisopa joins us for Quill-Legacy which leaves Grodes with a mild form of PTSD.
