Listen to the last episode:

HBO is getting out of children’s programming? We didn’t know it was into it. Beers are getting smaller in the UK. The most popular names of 2025 all sound like the Golden Girls. And our panels talks about the time Katy Perry shot across the sky thanks to Jeff Bezos. It’s a collection of our silliest stories as we recap the headlines that gave us a break from the dismal news. Gavin Crawford quizzes Ashley Botting, Brandon Ash-Mohammed, Eric Peterson and Mattea Roach.
