All the simple questions are asked on this podcast, week in, week out. Ketchup or brown sauce? Beef or salmon? Who owns the Moon?
Yep. Standard.
Dave has employed the talents of Dr. Jill Stuart, an expert in space policy, ethics and law, to explain all about humanity’s plans to explore, potentially colonise and possibly even exploit the Moon. We also meet a differently-qualified lady, who was selling plots on the sun on eBay but they stopped her. And now she’s suing them. Wonderful!

Okay, this week’s episode won’t help you avoid the travesty of certain 'Irish' accents attempted by some Hollywood greats, because it’s not about accents. It’s about the unique way English is spoken on the island of Ireland, so it is. The phrasing, the word order, the emphatic tags — we got you covered.
Who better to explain it than Sonya Matthews, someone with two degrees in Hiberno-English?
As if that isn’t enough, Part 1 sees Dave find out about the toughest US Presidential candidate of all time.

In this week’s episode, there is 100% less colonoscopy content than last week. Disappointing, we know. However, what this episode lacks in colorectal exploration, it more than makes up for with Dane Bowers, The Who and the Cheers theme tune! You see, Dave is introducing us all to Rob Johnson, who is a Pop Music Activist. He literally saves the pop songs that streaming forgot and gets them put online for us all to hear.
Also, Neil describes the most romantic date he’s ever been on. It also features much less colorectal content than we would all have hoped. Except for Neil’s date, one would imagine.

We're back! Neil kicks off Season 8 with the one and only Rick Edwards. Not only is he an exceptionally talented broadcaster, he also has a degree from the University of Cambridge and has written a book called 'Hollywood Wants To Kill You: The Peculiar Science of Death in the Movies’.
Also, he'll be revealing some rather *ahem* personal information.
Plus, in part one, we'll find out the truth about the 'close door' button in lifts, and the biggest question you've always wondered about Countdown will be answered.
Yes, that one.

This week, the lads welcome back the brilliant Dr Andrew Mackillop to tell the story of the most audacious scam in Scotland’s history. It takes quite a lot to just make up a country, name yourself ruler and then sell land rights to that imaginary place. Well, that’s just the start of the story of a man named Gregor McGregor.
Now, that said, there is a video Neil plays Dave that will forever haunt his nightmares in Part 1. The man gives with one hand and takes with the other.

This week, the lads are joined by Jonn Elledge to explain why a poplar tree caused a dangerous international incident. Jonn is the author of 'The History of the World in 47 Borders' and he takes Neil and Dave on a whirlwind jaunt around the globe.

To warm you up for part 2, part 1 sees the origin of Mastermind explained.
You may also learn how to keep a tiger.
Point of order: George Foreman’s sons are all named George. You’ll understand when you listen.

This week, we dive into the fascinating world of menu design with Menu Engineer, Sean Willard. Did you know that putting a box around your best-selling dish will make it sell even more? Why do some menus have prices but no currency symbols? And what’s more important: the food you serve or the menu you show your customers? All of this and more answered by Sean! We also learn how bad design gave us George W. Bush and why Bryan Ferry became ✢❒❙❁■ ✦❅❒❒❙. That’s not a typo, by the way.

What a way to end the season! This week the lads catch up with the head elf from the BBC's brilliant QI TV show, James Harkin. Here is a man who brings the trivia in a ridiculously impressive way.

Why would you travel to the other side of the world to play football in a rainy toad habitat? This is what Paul Watson, journalist, author and football enthusiast, found himself having to answer when he ended up in Pohnpei, a Micronesian island, with the mission to bring them the joy of football. It’s a story that involves calling on the Mormons, trying to win just one game of football and ending up in a bank in London with a suitcase full of money! There is so much to Paul’s story that we will have to do a second episode soon!

The fact that sharks have no bones is mind blowing. The fact that this fact is merely one of about 20 mind-blowing shark facts on this week’s podcast is even more mind blowing! All of these facts (and something terrible about shark reproduction!) are brought to us by the amazing Jaida Elcock, Shark Scientist, PhD student and co-founder of Minorities In Shark Sciences. As if that wasn’t enough, you won’t believe how scared of your cat you should be!

Ohh this one is a cracker. Professor of Biochemistry Luke O’Neill walks the lads through the history of the brain. He covers everything from electrocuting dead frogs to accidentally firing a rod through your noggin and all the discoveries these events led to.
He also casually drops in which philosopher had the brilliantly named ‘exploding head syndrome’.

In this week’s episode, Dave has recruited actor, writer, space nerd and author of the brilliant Spaced Out - A Casual Approach to the Cosmos, Kalpana Pot, to frighten all of us! So many things in space want to kill us that it’s a wonder we’re here at all! But don’t worry, Kalpana’s really sound and delivers all our impending doom stories with a touch of grace. We also learn in Part 1 about “Safety Coffins” and what’s so very wrong with The Pirates of the Caribbean ride!

In part 1 Neil walks Dave through the story of the Texan town that changed its name to get free TV. But both of these amazing stories frankly
pale in comparison to the Dave's violent attack on Neil's choice of chocolate bar.

In this week’s episode, we are in the world of noises. Certain noises can be so annoying that some people feel the need to harm the noise maker! Maybe, though, it’s not your fault. Maybe you suffer from something called Misophonia. Author of “Sounds Like Misophonia”, Dr. Jane Gregory takes us through everything there is to know about Misophonia, including her own emerging research. We also learn how useless Dave is at being a strong protective man.
As for the elephant in the waistcoat, you’ll just have to listen to discover what that’s all about!
