The Tin Foil Hats Club returns for its fifth episode. In this edition Jenny chats with Cary Hendricks and Stuart Coulson to discuss grab bags, yellowhammer, Halloween costumes and how the recent social media "preparedness" campaign by emergency services may have raised more questions about possible incoming emergencies ahead of the 31st October, than it managed to resolve.

What should go in a grab bag?

What do we do when the "network goes down"

What sort of emergency are government expecting?

Do we all need to head to The Winchester, have a pint and wait for this whole thing to blow over?

Not so much a Tin Foil Hat required as much as a Sombrero....
