We are nearly half way through series one! Sam & Dan (mainly Sam) would firstly like to apologise for some of the sound quality in this podcast. We had phone interference which has been nothing short of a nightmare to fix. As for the show itself, it's an absolute cracker! We have a quiz, our TV listing round-up, episode review and an interview with King of Coins, Tom Hockenhull.
The very first thing we recorded was a skit for episode one. Needless to say, Sam was ill-prepared for Dan's hilarious delivery...

In this episode Andy, Andy and Marc discuss TV shows from their childhood and the fantastical items portrayed. They then discuss the ins and outs of which they would like to have. This episode takes some weird turns as we realise Andy is easily corrupted. We learn Marc cannot be trusted with a Pokemon. And Andy has some deep seated hatred of Brum whilst not understanding how technology works. What did we miss, where were we wrong, should we stop talking to Marc? Why not let us know @dinosaurman15 on twitter.
