Christmas is the theme for the finale of Season 2 of Following Through and the last episode of 2025.

 

To celebrate, Alex and Siobhan are having a Christmas party and recording together in person for the first time. There is also very strong language from the start.

 

This episode is a bit experimental. The tech isn’t quite as smooth as previous episodes. There is some background noise as they’re recording in some sort of fancy cafe in Soho. But they make up for this with the fun they're having while drinking beer and cocktails, and eating cake.

 

They talk about Christmas plans, the traditions, stresses, and joys, as well as looking back on the year that was 2025.

 

And in Sh*t or Miss, Toby Williams is back to contemplate what happened when a teenager felt the rumbles of doom on the school bus home after eating too much cereal.

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, dear listener. Following Through will return in 2026.
