We hope you have your ear trumpets at the ready for this week's episode as we're joined by comedian, author and care worker Pope Lonergan to talk about the world's worst carer.

We take another tap dance along the bleakest of tightropes and use a balancing pole weighted with stories of support peacocks, prince regents and the worst use for a pair of scales in history.
