We’re back and so is our much loved ‘Pick n Mix’ format in which we pick three random subjects to discuss and so this week for you we have.. The biggest hole ever built! How baby names have evolved down the years! And when exactly did having a sun tan become popular?!

And this week we learned that one of these two things are true:

1) Every dark urban myth that went around Britain did actually REALLY HAPPEN in 90s Carmarthen and Elis simply didn’t have enough time on google to find the evidence, or;

2) Elis is the most gullible podcaster in Britain.

This week we’re discussing the most intelligent creatures the animal kingdom has to offer. We’ll be looking at mankind’s attempts to communicate with apes, plus we’ll be looking at a very intelligent horse (Clever Hans) and a very intelligent octopus (Paul).

And in this episode we get more detail on Elis’ Christmas room, the lack of respect he receives from his cats and whether his simian-esque posterior could one day resolve some future war between man and ape. We imagine you’ll have questions or thoughts on this, so please do get in touch: [email protected]

This week we’re discussing some of the weirdest art history has to offer. From Piero Mazoni’s tin of artist excrement to how the Romans used colour in art and finally, we try to figure out who invented the selfie.

Lots of chat this week about whether it’s even possible to go lips to teat with a duck-billed platypus. If you’ve got anything on that or anything else, you can email us at: [email protected]
