In this rushed, shitshow of an episode Simon and Dan discuss the racism scandal coming out of Exeter University, an order of knights represented at the UN, and some watching recommendations. Also Simon can't say the word accredited.
Again, massive apologies for the rush this week. Between Dan's schedule and internet problems we just ran out of time. We'll make it up to you next episode!

This week we actually talk about the wiki article for a while, and (statistically) incredibly it's an article one of us had actually been on before! Also this week you hear how terrible Simon is at accents, a meta discussion of online `fame', a whole bunch of correspondence, and a new fan fiction! What a banger of an episode.

We got an article that one of us has actually heard of before!! Dan and Simon sink their teeth into one of the worst films ever, discuss Dan's new job, introduce a new section to the podcast, and share more wisdom. Also, help us rank UK supermarkets! Thrilling stuff...

Dan and Simon are joined by Taha Khan aka KhanStopMe to discuss a rather shady organisation... for a bit. Immediately followed by discussion of approaches for making YouTube videos, an in-depth review of BLACK PANTHER, a crisis corner all about closure, and a few reader emails. Also baguettes. Taha is a top lad, you should definitely check him out!

Goodness what an episode! After a shaky start (blame Clarktholicism) we talk about Vidcon, film directors, the Apple Homepod, tackle a chronic illness in crisis corner, answer your questions in correspondence corner, and see the triumphant return of The Time Traveller with the Extremely Large Forehead. We had a lot of fun recording this, and hope you enjoy listening!
Also next week we have a guest with us (ooooOOOOOOooo) so do get your correspondence in nice and early this week so we have plenty to talk about. We're counting on you!

One of the dullest articles we've ever got! We talk about the churches of Mawmonism and Clarktholicism, interview Mr Maw of the Gilbert & Sullivan society, tackle serious issues in crisis corner, and respond to some delightful correspondence!

Oscar nominations! Dan forgets to turn on his microphone! Serious discussion in agony corner! Also why is it called a white smiling face??
Apologies to everyone who didn't get their email read out - we are simply too swamped to get them all in the podcast, but please do know that we read each and every single one. So please keep them coming, and also send in your agony corner problems, which we will anonymise in the podcast.

If you've ever wondered which one of us has the bigger penis, the answer is confirmed in this podcast. Also featuring: sports, retro games, merch discussion, and a mystery unboxing.
ALSO WE LAUNCHED A PATREON LOL. For just $1 a month (the price of a can of coke or something) you can help the show massively by 1) helping us pay for hosting, 2) keep Wikipedia afloat, 3) help us make more content for you, and 4) pledge your allegience to #TeamCat or #TeamDog. We're not asking for much, but if you can help us make the podcast grow and get better and better it would be massively appreciated. Hopefully not just by us, but also by our audience too! So really you're helping yourself. Why are you still reading this? GO TO DAT LINK
