Time For Questions is the NonCensored spin-off show where Harriet Langley Swindon, Producer Martin and Eshaan Akbar answer YOUR questions.

Since the start of 2024 this has been exclusively for Patreons, who get one per month, but we're releasing the one we made in December 2024 from the paywall to the main feed so you can hear what you'd be getting. This episode saw them answer questions like

• If the NonCensored team were to appear on a political debate show, who would you also want on the panel and what hot topics would you like to debate?

• Does the team wish each other Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays?

• Fielding. Gallagher. Edmonds. The First. Which is the best Noel?

We're recording January's TFQ next week, so f you'd like to ask a question, go to Patreon.com/NonCensored and sign up.

Thanks to all our Patreons for making this show possible, and also thanks to Rosie Holt, Brendan Murphy, Eshaan Akbar and Ed Morrish.

The Editorial Meeting is a bonus podcast for top-tier Patreons of NonCensored (patreon.com/NonCensored), who get to hear Rosie (Harriet), Brendan (Producer Martin), Eshaan (Eshaan) and Real Producer Ed discuss the week's show - specifically, what stories should go into Eshaan's segment, what we've talked about, and what we've not talked about.

We've been less indiscreet than usual so that we can put this out on the regular podcast feed, allowing those of you who aren't Patreons can hear what you're missing; it's usually a lot less guarded. (The version of this on Patreon is about three minutes longer, because even when we were trying to keep it safe we still said some stuff that's best kept behind closed doors. Not everything is for everyone, and that's fine!)

All paid subscribers get a monthly bonus "Time For Questions" podcast, where Harriet, Martin and Eshaan answer your questions, and you can even sign up to the Patreon for free and there's occasional stuff like Rosie' videos up there.

Thanks to all our Patreons for supporting the show, and Happy New Year.
