  • Mind moles, legitimate botox & an announcement

    The lads reunite after a triumphant live show in Manchester to discuss cosmetic surgery and how big the human tongue is.

     

    Rural Concerns is taking a break! Something cool has popped up which means we’ll be unable to record new episodes. We’ll share more information when we can but for now; Merry Christmas, happy New Year and may all your leeks be competition-grade!

  • Mead, tombstones & the Lotto Lout

    A generous gift triggers a journey through time for the lads. Under the influence of a divine brew they discuss dirty bible verse, the Brit Awards and disposable vapes. The loosest, most drunk episode we’ve done tbh.

  • Potatoes, crashes & the shadow world

    The lads must rally to save the recording when Jeff Bezos drops the ball. Luckily the failures of Big Tech doesn’t stop Sunil from eating a single potato on its own with nothing else, nor does it impede Chris reminding everyone about his big house.
