    S0206 Substitute

    S0206 Substitute

    In this episode, another attempt is made to return Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine back to her own century (you’re not holding your breath are you)?

    Mr b wants to trail a new button, much to Jim’s worry. In fact, the concern could possibly be PPSS, Post Podcast Sadness Syndrome.

    Mr b and the Queen cajole Jim, ‘The Writer Man’ to attempt another script draft. Both are worried about the consequences of Jim’s lacklustre writing.

    Sadly, Jim attempts to write Cate Blanchett (‘there’s a lot to love’) into the podcast. Meanwhile, Mr b swears that NOTHING can go wrong with his new button…” hmmm!”

    Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode:

    • How Queen Eleanor would change the game of cricket
    • Jim and Mr b disagree about the colour orange
    • A single joke about time travellers
    • What Jim has loaded into the gun that shoots Tony ‘the voice-over guy'

    Plus our Micro Sitcom, with 'Mary the Entrepreneur' takes place at an 'Eating for Business' seminar, in which Kale features "Seek Kale!"

    S0205 Magnify Minify Part II

    Stuck in a Japanese anime computer game Danganronpa or easily distracted crew try to survive, recover the podcast starter motor and return to the leafy safety of St Albans.

    Jim is put to the test with ‘bullets of truth.’ Thank the old gods and the new that cMac (the ultimate gizmo) is present and proving to be worthy of such a silly podcast.

    The whole episode would appear to hinge on the use of bagels, an unusual plot development, and rare to see outside New York.

     

    A vengeful Monokuma, a stuffed robotic bear, goes after our heroes. O’ a quote from this rather evil beast; ‘Every human has regrets, has things they’d like to go back and change. But I don’t! ’cause I’m a bear.’

     

    Will they survive?

     

    Of course, silly. This is a series. BUT will they get back to St Albans…unscathed?

     

    Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode:

    • If the crew manage to avoid multiple mini-Monokumas with laser weapons
    • Where the starter motor for the podcast has been taken
    • Interview Countdown with David Baldwin, Baldwin&
    • Mary, ‘The Entrepreneur’ explains her latest product range, for babies, Part II

    S02E04 Magnify Minify Part I

    Well, you are not going to believe the consequences for the podcast when Mr b insists on using a Japanese keyboard to run the show.

    Mr b is a great believer in ‘science’ and thinks mathematics is beautiful. This, always, makes Jim a mite peevish.

    Jim is also concerned. Just that. Jim is always concerned. This is due to Mr b and his experiments. Mr b is always searching for a new,  more thrilling,  button.

    Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode:

    • How Queen Eleanor manages to have a fanfare wherever she visits?
    • The crew taking on the dangers of Danganronpa, a Japanese computer game
    • Why the Queen likes to ride Nigel, the St Bernard dog sized squirrel
    • The Challenge at Home for you to try
