  • Look at These

    Get ready to be uncomfortable! Brandon definetely was! Today we are trying to talk about empowerement and gender, but also about how Tony would probably be okay with indecent exposure - to witness it that is - while Brandon would rather be buried alive, and Lorna surprisingly loved talking about flashing. Are you still reading? Hit play!

  • I Want to See You
    Do you remember Celia Celia? Well, there is a lot to do with that poem in this episode. Join Brandon and Ryan in shaming Tony for his romantically perverted interpretation of... well everything! Whether you're commuting to work or making your tea, put your headphones on and listen to 'I Want to See You' a poem by an unknown author to which anyone could easily relate (at least according to Tony).

    A truly unconventional start, a new host and a recurring comparison with hungovers. ‘Although the the wind’ is an episode you don’t want to miss, especially in these hard times when seeing the ‘moonlight between the planks’ gets harder and harder.

  • All That is Gold Does Not Glitter

    Have you ever thought of Tolkien as a hermetic and fairly unaccessible poet? Good, then this episode is for you! We dissect 'All That is Gold Does Not Glitter' by J. R. R. Tolkien giving three consistently different interpretations, and yes, we eventually disagree.

  • Celia Celia

    Celia Celia by Adrian Mitchell is a poem about you but also about me, and a little bit about a naked woman somewhere on High Holborn.
