January 28, 2019 Theo Does Brexit - Slightly More Informed
There’s no regular episode this week, but we are launching our new series!
‘Slightly More Informed’ is us doing individual, unique episodes on top of our main series. Often it’ll only be one or two of us presenting.
There’s no schedule, but expect to see a few appearing over the coming weeks.
Anyway, this time, Theo covers all things Brexit.
Enjoy.

January 12, 2019 ...And a Happy New Year! (What are humanity's biggest threats in 2019?)
[There are some brief audio issues with this episode, but mostly when Max is talking so you shouldn’t miss anything]
Will hosts, as he, Theo and Max have a pleasant discussion about what might wipe out the human race by 2100.
We are missing Peter, who’s on holiday, but it doesn’t detract much from the episode.
Enjoy.
