Why does this thing exist? (Podcast)

In this episode, Simon and Dean broadcast their thoughts whilst on holiday in London. They discuss a few items that London is famous for: Mrs Doubtfire the Musical, expensive cashew nuts and stiffness methods. 

Note for the listener: the audio for this episode was recorded with microphones from Poundland and enhanced with AI Software, it turned out alright but if you notice an unusual element to the sounds of their voices that’ll be why.
