Oscar nominations! Dan forgets to turn on his microphone! Serious discussion in agony corner! Also why is it called a white smiling face??

Apologies to everyone who didn't get their email read out - we are simply too swamped to get them all in the podcast, but please do know that we read each and every single one. So please keep them coming, and also send in your agony corner problems, which we will anonymise in the podcast.
