Smersh Pod LIVE from The Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival way back in October of 2025.

We’ll be travelling back to the exciting days of 1982 and uploading ourselves into a ‘computer’ to indulge in a spot of cycling, a bit of frisbee, and a whole lot of RAM BAM THANK YOU MAM, while also hoping no one minds if we nip out for a quick MCP.
