October 25, 2025 Lightly Used 32 - The Swansea Devil
In lieu of our planned cobbled-together episode, here's a different and even more hastily cobbled together short 'out-and-about' show...ostensibly, tangentially...kinda vaguely Halloween adjacent.
Photos we took are on our blog (linked below); where you'll also find links to the articles & posts used for research, plus some excellent historical photos.

September 27, 2025 Lightly Used 31 - Lightly Spooked
Bit of a different format this ep, we just have bit of a chat, the only usual feature s Adam's 'Bibliotat', because it happened to tie in with something Karen mentioned. Otherwise, we'll be bumping our gums about:
Karen went on 'Paul and Sanja's Ghunt';
Adam's got a small follow-up from Episode 29's 'Bibliotat';
Some chat about episode 9 of 'Star Trek - Strange New Words'. We do out best to
avoid spoilers, we think we did ok?;
Karen never watched 'The Girlie Show' in the '90's...has it held up?;
You're getting OLD;

Apologies for the slightly off audio quality - we've got some new tech...turns out some settings needs a bit more adjusting still.

This episode was re-recorded due to a technical SNAFU, so we know each others' 'Tat In The Box' items...we didn't even bother with boxes;
