Another week, another podcast - that's a promise and a threat. Listen on, brave ear-haver, for tales of chicken, rockets, pants and spinning tops. Featuring special guest Elena!

This week Brendan returns from his holiday with a truly chaotic tale of missed flights, Dan has found a hideously pretentious menu, and Ian has a revelation about a festive classic. Plus more of the usual nonsense.

You Won't Believe What Happened Next When This London Dad Saw Just One Weird Squirrel. Clickbait aside, this episode also features special guest Leigh's money worries, and a report from Japanese-Reporter-At-Large Brendan. And pizza.

This week The Slump features some small plates, an angry train man and a return to Saskatchewan, in an episode which has literally been edited by Ian. Sorry.

This week, we find out Ian is endangered, plus there's stories about a silly shoe, a sad penguin, and an addiction to 90s dance. Essential listening. UPDATE: Brendan screwed up the edit, so he's fixed that now.

Dan's been up to no good on the roads of Europe again, and he's also losing the power of speech thanks to some cyber-news from Brendan. Ian has found us a condiment villain, and much more happens that you could only expect to hear in the Slump.

Dan is grumpy at people who work in the media, except for him and Ian and Brendan of course. Anyway, he finds catharsis in their company and in the tried and tested stress release method of complaining about stuff with your friends. May you similarly find solace in The Slump.

This podcast is the only (or at least very few) that are prepared to bring you audio in not just one, but TWO varying qualities. We're definitely the only ones to record in a postroom of a large media company. That aside, this week we bring you two awful Kickstarters, and a very, very comprehensive conversation on relish.
