Since we last spoke, sea shanties seem to have become a massive global phenomenon, which is very odd to see, given that I've been in a band singing shanties for the last fifteen years. I chat with shanty stalwart Jim Mageean from the Keelers who recounts tales of travelling the world singing shanties and the surreal adventures which being a shanty singer has led to. Plus, the return of Cassette Roulette, an exciting new game, what's The Time Mr eagle, and I have an existential crisis, and get a surprise from Miles Jupp.

Welcome to a new weekly podcast series. This week my fiancée Ellie and I are joined by comedian, actor and musician Phil Nichol, who takes part in a very odd quiz. Ellie tests out her unusual Christmas present on me. We play an old tape recording from my childhood in our feature Cassette Roulette. Plus there's an anti-social neighbours update and an erotic encounter with Princess Margaret.

I am the ghost of clipsmas past, and I bring you a compilation of Christmas clips from The David Eagle Podcast. Featuring: a Christmas play I made when I was a student in 2004; erotic bath-based Christmas cracker fun; we hear from a man with a prurient interest in Christmas trees; there’s Christmas music, including some songs I made when I was a child; and lots more.

It's the 60th and final episode of the Eagle Is Stranded! And over the next 60 minutes we look back on some highlights from the series.
