  • About Beekeepers: Thousands of stings, breeding Queens, and David Beckham's unrealistic hives

    Happy New Year to you all, we hope you had a wonderful festive period full of fun and Valencia ice lollies... we know Joe did. We kick off 2024 with a belter, where we are joined by Emma the Beekeeper, who flew over from Northern Ireland to tell us about every different type of bee, how they elect a queen and the many times she has been stung in the face. She also tells us about a giant bee nightclub in the sky, and why David Beckhams hives aren't very realistic... it's a fascinating chat.

  • About Rebranding: A new era of the show begins

    This is it. We have some big news to announce. As you heard a few weeks ago, from Jonny the marketing expert, the branding of our show could do with a bit of a make over. So, in this episode, you're going to hear about our plans for 2024! We have a new name, some new artwork, and from January we'll be bringing you an extra Friday episode as well. Joe, Tom and Producer Ryan are bringing the Show Growing Committee back to tell you all about it. The actual show is barely going to change, you can still expect the same fun, amazing guests and absolute nonsense. It's been a hell of a three years, but it's now time to take it to the next level... and we want you guys to come on the journey with us and help us #GrowTheShow. So, sit back, enjoy, and make sure you tell a friend about the podcast this Christmas. Actually, just tell all your friends...

  • About Father Christmas: The secrets of being a professional Santa

    Ho ho ho, merry Christmas! Actually we should just say merry Christmas, as apparently the real Santa doesn't say ho ho ho. We learn this (and many other secrets of the trade) from Mike, who is a professional Father Christmas. Yes, that is his real job all year round, as he takes bookings in January, and there is a Santa convention that happens in June. Luckily, most Santa's get to take Christmas day off. Warning, don't listen to this episode if you are around young children, as we don't want to ruin Christmas for anyone!

  • About Marketing: How to promote yourself and the greatest adverts of all time

    Our guest this week is Jonny, who is an expert in marketing. Joe and Tom ask him lots of silly questions about adverts (anyone remember the Umbongo song?) and he gives us a very honest assessment about the marketing of this podcast... turns out we aren't ready to become a viral sensation just yet.
