St Patrick’s Purgatory - Wikicast 064

July 11, 2019

Dan and Simon gaze deeply into St Patrick's hole. If you have a site of historical importance near you, please do email in! We want to hear all about your local history, and bonus points if you send us a photo of you listening to the podcast (or in Wikicast gear) at said site! Also please do guess what Dan's riddle is all about. Because Simon is a bit confuzzled.

Also it's our two year anniversary!! Thank you for putting up with us for so long, you guys rule. We totally remembered that it was our anniversary from the very start of the episode, as per...

The Whole Town’s Talking - Wikicast 063

July 1, 2019

Blowie. Exeter. Confession. Hoooo boy.

Dan and Simon chat about old films and get caught in a wiki closed loop, the podcast loses some weight, we have yet more talents showcased from the readership, including some fantastic fan fiction! Also, we close out with some beautiful music from the University of Exeter Chapel Choir. Let us know what you think about the new structure!

Also please do send us your confessions for confession corner, poster photoshops (it doesn't have to be The Goonies!), and any and all hidden talents you may have!

House of Commons Library - Wikicast 058

April 5, 2019

The fact that we randomised on a Brexit related article is just cruel at this point. Simon and Dan talk Captain Marvel, Hansard, choral music, the Yogscast, and, sigh, Brexit. Also, Dan reports back on the community's music survey!
