Are you sitting comfortably, then let Gemma tell you not one, but two embarrassing stories. One long, one short, but both are entertaining and shocking. James lets us all know what he's been watching and his thoughts. An astounding amount of responses to our Salty Tadpole Interaction this week that we couldn't read all of them, but a BIG GIANT thank you to everyone who answered, it truly meant a lot to us both. Is that Pate? Where's the beef? All this and much more.

What to say about this week's episode? Well... we enjoy some Would You Rather's, Gemma has an unexpected visitor during an inappropriate time. Which is better ZigZag or Rizla rolling papers and why is Gemma not giving away her cigarettes? Where will the Tadpoles venture to on the Magic School Bus? James gets rather heated after a story of the week and what was up a man's bum? AND the usual Codswallop.

Today James sits down with author and editor Simon Furman. The impact Simon has had on the comic book industry is beyond compare! He is perhaps best known for his work on The Transformers comics, Doctor Who, Robocop, She-Hulk, Iron Man and many others hell it would be easier to say what he hasn't worked on! He created Death's Head and most recently he has created and self published his own series To The Death! For anyone who wants to get into the comic industry you have to listen! If you want to relive your childhood this is the place to be!! To say James enjoyed talking to him is an understatement!

This week Gemma is joined by her very talented, creative and the darn right genius behind International Ridicule Boards, friend Garry Azzaro. International Ridicule is a Property Trading Games company... no, not that company... this one is better. What's your favourite fandom? Do you have a loved one's special birthday coming up? Garry has you covered and where other property trading games make generic bulk standard boards, you won't find that at International Ridicule. For example Garry takes your most loved characters from your favourite TV Show/Film and will include them into the board, thus making these property trading boards unique, bespoke and one of a kind to you the purchaser. 

In this episode we find out where it all started for Garry, what is involved when creating your custom board, comic con experiences and much more. Check out Talking Codswallop's social media this week for examples of Garry's work.
