Ladies & Gentlemen the day has finally come. We are joined this week by the Crisp Influencer, Dan Thackeray one of the masterminds behind the hit Instagram account 'Crisp Corner'. The only Crisp account to be followed by Walkers.

This interview was well worth the wait as we get to find out about the man behind the crisp packet why he founded Crisp corner, and how he plans to take over the food review scene.

We thought it would be rude not to do a live crisp review, so we brought in some festive crisps to review live on the podcast.

Go check the guys at Crisp Corner out on Instagram, they're fairly easy to find.

It's crunch time.

If you're someone that struggles with Christmas gifts, we have a 'CRACKER' of an episode for you! Mike Hennan's got his hands on the 50 weirdest Christmas gifts that you can get for your loved ones in 2020.

In other news this week It's official that Mr James Hardy also known as Samwise, is back on the podcast and is now a dad. James has brought a story with him this week around Twitter and how they analyse the language in tweets to calculation the happiness levels of the nation.

I must admit, it's pretty interesting.

We're at Episode #30 and Mike Hennan is still hanging around as a replacement for Samwise. We think Samwise might be back next week, although we're still not sure.

We have a mixed bag of News Stories for you this week, kicking off with a discussion around influencer marketing and its longevity, making the roads fully electric by 2030 and finishing off with the Tiger King trying to land himself a get out of jail free card. Enjoy!

Mike Hennan is back for a second week as James is still off being a dad. This week the stories are all over the place, we talk about big Donald Trump and how as president he has the ability to pardon himself from future crimes, a cheesecake that's covered in pigs in blankets and why Luke still carries around a Beanie Baby at the age of 29... Enjoy.

This week we're without James as he's vanished off to have a baby. So we thought who better to step in as a temporary host than Mike Hennan (Lazy Bones Mike) who joined us back in Episode 19. This week the main story is about Virgin conducting the very first Hyperloop journey which involved humans & Luke has some naff story about how 2 racoons broke into a bank to steal a box of biscuits.

This weeks episode sees the widest range of subjects for any one episode of Not Another Startup. We find ourselves talking about nappies once again for the 2nd episode in a row. We talk about how Brexit will affect produce on the shelves by a delay in software at the border. We dive in to Matt Groening and the time traveling accusations against him. Our main story of this week is then around Adam Newman of WeWork and the book created around his office antics and culture.

Did you know that Geese nappies exist? Yep, you heard me correctly... Geese nappies! One of our news stories this week is about a guy from Leeds who takes his pet geese to the pub and puts special nappies on them so that they don't shit everywhere. Our Startup news story focuses on Jony Ive. The designer famous for his career at Apple has moved to Airbnb to design some of their upcoming products.

Its a not a coronavirus special. Its just another bog standard week on Not Another Startup where there is no set structure but some how the whole episode is about coronavirus. Even the stories dragged off the depths of the internet this week by both James and Luke have sport and coronavirus in common. Luke's found a story about the NFL (National Football League) (Although very rarely does a foot ever touch the ball.) where they have implemented a new track and trace system using bracelets. Whereas James fines as story about actual football; you know where the foot actually touches the ball whereby a German football team lost a game 37-0 because of a positive test result. Find out all the details in this weeks episode.

In this weeks episode we are taken beyond the atmosphere of earth where James discusses "The Habitat" a podcast related to a mars experiment being run in an inhabited corner of Hawaii to see whether a journey to Mars is possible. Luke then found a story about how nessy being spotted in Loch Ness. Question is, is this just another publicity stunt or is the story real?

In this weeks episode, we have a guest appearance from Glenys Chatterley. Glenys is the owner of Effective Business Networking (EBN). A business hugely affected by the pandemic. We dive into what makes Glenys tick, how she motivates herself and the incredible challenges she set herself to push her comfort zone. We also discuss social media censorship whilst trying to stay politically correct. Luke was on time this week.
