Look, the notes I have for this episode are "vegetarians, Splash, and fighting a bear". What do you think that means? I guess you'll just have to listen to Aaron Fernie talk about them. Of course, he's doing so while sat in Dan Brown's wardrobe. It's the 25th episode, surely you know the format by now? Originally published 7th November 2017.

It's another open mic enjoyer in Dan Brown's wardrobe this week. The wardrobe is kind of like an open mic, isn't it? There's a certain level of performance to being behind the microphone in Dan's wardrobe, I reckon, and performing to an audience in a pub is almost as nerve wracking as performing to an audience you can't see because you're sat in a wardrobe you've never been in before. Anyway, Callam Noel also wants to chat about music and cats. Originally published 29th October 2017.

It's party time in Dan Brown's wardrobe! Jay Siddle is in there to educate Dan about parties (and chip tuning). They also share their open mic experiences. Originally published 10th September 2017.

It's another mystery episode for Dan as the guest in his wardrobe isn't someone he's met before. The mystery turns out to be none other than Richard Fox, who wants to talk about roleplaying, Brexit, and his specialist subject: pumps. Ya got pump? Originally published 25th August 2017.

Isn't it great to hear dated references about now-former US President Donald Trump? I can only imagine that's why you're listening to stuff from 2016/17, anyway. This week long-time comedic collaborator Robin Edwards sits in Dan Brown's wardrobe to make those references. Originally published 12th August 2017.

If you literally had a commissioned design of your face on a t-shirt, that would be pretty cool right? You wouldn't keep that in your wardrobe. Or maybe you would and you'd also have the whole actual man in there too. In this case, Gareth Hughes is the whole actual man and Dan Brown is the wardrobe owner. Originally published 19th July 2017.

Dan Brown's wardrobe is still hot this week, but now it's got Shawn Gu in it. He's a student and wants to talk about studenty things, like university, social justice, and this new Facebook platform he's heard a lot about. Like everyone else, he also wants to talk about how hot it is in that wardrobe. Originally published 22nd June 2017.

It's a blisteringly hot day in Dan Brown's wardrobe, but Lizzie Simpson has elected to enter in order to appear on this esteemed podcast. They'll chat about writing, fizzy drinks, the Oscars, and how damn hot it is. Originally published 5th June 2017.

We resume Dan Brown's chat with Sam Chaplin, who is still sat in Dan's wardrobe. After they opened up to each other in last week's episode, the two men feel comfortable enough to talk more broadly about creativity, social media, and the existence of an mystery island. You'll be on the edge of your seat, unless you're sat in a cramped wardrobe. Originally published 20th May 2017.

The first #HGWpod that had to be split into two parts! Prepare for more content than has been contained in any episode to date. In this first part, Sam Chaplin sits in Dan Brown's wardrobe and talks about bags on seats, Bud Light, and Sam's much more successful podcast. Successful enough that people read more than three sentences into the description, probably. Originally published 13th May 2017.

Kail Agius steps into Dan Brown's wardrobe. Things get pretty heated between the host and the guest as they discuss comedy, animal occupations, and genocide. Originally published 6th May 2017.

Relive the horrors of Mr Blobby in a confined space? Yes please! That's something Kit Fox is about to do in Dan Brown's wardrobe. Originally published 1st May 2017.

Getting back into stand-up comedy is one of the main themes of this week's wardrobe discussion. Maybe you should all send this to Dan and make him listen to it, then you'd get more Dan Brown content. You must want that if you're still here by now, right? Originally published 8th April 2017.

Cal Reader is the latest stranger turned friend to enter Dan Brown's wardrobe, and appropriately they get chatting about dungeons. Originally published 21st March 2017.

Dan becomes one of the rare people to have had a double-digit number of people in his wardrobe, and the person that gets to make it across the line is Josh Matthews. Originally published 8th February 2017.

Why is there a sudden jump to Episode 9? How did Dan manage to lose two episodes in succession? Ross Lyall Blair doesn't even acknowledge those questions from the comfort of Dan Brown's wardrobe, choosing instead to talk about comedy, piano, and sound quality (ironically). Originally published 22nd January 2017.

Slugs. You want to hear about them? You want to hear about them while Andrew Drummond sits in Dan Brown's wardrobe? Maybe this episode is for you. Originally published 17th December 2016.

Marc makes his marc in Dan Brown's wardrobe, lasting an impressive 29 minutes 31 seconds. Originally published 3rd December 2016.
