A special episode. The boys talk about Simon's dad and the role he played in both of their lives.

Some things never change however: Dan talks about choral music, and Simon is mean about some children. Also, urine.

Father Christmas - Wikicast 114

A new episode of the Wikicast? It's a Christmas miracle! Simon and Dan chat about Christmas in its various forms, singing, movies, and... well, the usual guff. But with a festive hat on! Also, Simon is sick. Sorry about that.

This episode arrived on a paddle steamer before getting on a horse.

Thank you to everyone who has come with us on the Wikicast journey in 2022! Sorry for wasting all your time. We're excited to serve up fresh nontent for you in 2023. Now where's the brandy...

Chatterton (horse) - Wikicast 113

Simon gets on his high horse to rant about racehorses, while a sweaty Dan sneaks up on him with a fistful of dreamies, speaking Dutch the entire time.

It's one of those episodes.
