Assassinations!

We've all heard the word, and yes they aren't just stuff out of an action block buster. What's even crazier is that even today, they happen quite frequently.

But as with everything, you can't always get it right, and sometimes failure means no second chances. Today I present to you some of THE absolute worst fails of assassination attempts in history. Episode written by Ife Olutayo.

Whenever you hear 'the greatest invention since sliced bread', you probably wonder: How revolutionary could sliced bread really have been?

Well, stop wondering because that's what this episode is about! The story of how it came to be, and, well, what it took for it to be born.

Have you ever been dragged on the internet? I haven't, but my guest today has (thank God... for us, not him).

It's not our usual cup of tea but I hope you learn a thing or two from this not so short episode.

Last month marked the end to the long political cycle in my home country Nigeria and it saw certain men and women victorious across every level. What a Joke congratulates them and I hope I don’t get thrown in prison because while I won’t insult my nation… the jokes are going to be too hard to keep away

There are so many things I could say, but they don't quite capture the feeling that's hanging in the air right now.

This week is our second anniversary, or 'podversary' and I decided to do something a little special.

Thank you for making the last two years an especially amazing journey, and cheers to lots more jokes, lessons and everything what a joke. Happy anniversary!

PS, listen to the entire episode for a special treat. We're doing a giveaway too (thank you Jamit)!

England once had a King named Henry… eight times. The eighth and final Henry, until further notice, was a man who will be remembered for many of the wrong things such as his gluttony, obesity and so on. But he will be remembered most… for his wives.
Three K(C)Catherines
Two Annes
And one Jane

King Henry VIII married six women but only ever had one wife per time

Sit back as your host, narrator and sole cast of this episode, takes you on a journey back in time, to Old England.

Bayo: Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the most badass author of them all?

That would be Agatha Christie, of course. A woman who's head, shoulders, knees and toes above the rest.
On today's episode, however, we talk less about her achievements, and more about a few weird things that happened in her life. For example, if it was up to her mother, Agatha would have remained an illiterate for a looong time.
