November 27, 2021 Playing Favourites | Ep. #32 | Methods Of Relaxation
Luke and Harry discuss the nature of what it means to relax, Harry does a live listen-along to some ASMR (and makes lots of awful noises), and the potential state of an unattainable, true state of pure relaxation. This is almost definitely our driest episode yet. Where are the jokes, boys? This isn't Radio 4.
