It’s the most "Specialist Subject" Specialist Subject episode of all time!

Comedian Cobin Millage (@cobinmillage) spends way more than his allotted weekly allowance thinking about the Holy Roman Empire, considers where he’d be if two guys hadn’t had an argument thousands of years ago, and then freaks Robin out with a bunch of sharks. He also turns into a cow for a bit. When? We don't want to ruin the surprise. You're going to want to watch the video feed for this one!

Robin and David Correos (@davidpostoffice, Taskmaster NZ) go deep on comedy, how to mine laughs out of tragedy without bumming everyone out and how to collect references to make a sick shirt design. Also: which Pringle flavour is the best to frisbee at an audience member.

Robin takes some time out of the Fringe to chat with actress Kimberley Nixon (@realkimberleynixon, Cherrybomb, Fresh Meat) about all things Agatha Christie. Can they solve the mystery of what made her cry in hair and makeup? Who left a message to her in their autobiography? And did Robin murder the heckler in his show? All shall be revealed in this week's episode.

Robin learns all about the movies from Noted Cinema Enjoyer Chris Thurburn (@cbthorburn). They reminisce about the good old days, when the internet was just six websites, and one of them was for Space Jam, then Chris tells the story of how his teachers grew concerned for him because of his powerful Simpsons trivia skills.
