Why are they advertising Audible adaptation of Harry Potter on podcasts aimed at adults? Transphobic author aside, they're children's books.

My wife is out tonight so I'm treating myself to a little princess pamper.

Let it never be said that I'm not open to new ideas.

How do you know if somebody is a vegan?

Don't worry, his colleague will ask him whether he misses cheese, approximately every 15 minutes.

I've just watched A Nightmare on Elm Street with my youngest. I'd forgotten how much the last twenty minutes or so have in common with Home Alone.

Bastard fucking cars, man. Ugh.

I could really have done without the car's exhaust starting to make ominous rattling noises.

If people can't tell the difference between a vegan burger and a beef burger unless the name is changed, then maybe the veggie alternatives are a lot better than the meat industry would lead you to believe.

HELLO WORLD!

We’re looking for a very particular guest for our next episode:

‘Close encounters of the *Meh* kind’

In which we explore the general public’s response to the UAP hearings.

We’re looking for someone who can discuss this 👇🏻

Fermi’s Paradox and SETI

Is anybody out there???
The Fermi paradox asks why we've yet to find evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. The odds are we should!

A NASA scientist suggests that "alien societies might plateau at modest technological levels and even grow bored with exploration."

I've made butternut squash and spinach dhal for tea. I give it two minutes before my wife says "oh, bloody hell", having spilled it down her tits.

They say that kids these days are soft, but I bailed on tonight's run because it's too cold, and my lad just got in after being out skateboarding for the last four hours.

I think that some people would queue up to be kicked in the pods if they'd seen it on TikTok.

Not had a decent pair of clumpy boots in years, but finally bit the bullet and spent my birthday money on these bad boys.
