Hello there! Welcome to our music festivals special.

Let’s be honest here - at their best festivals can be the most amazing, joyous, life changing experiences. But at their worst, well, they can be pretty hard going, can’t they?

Mark and Neil are a couple of seasoned festival goers with 30 plus festivals over a 20 year period under their collective belts. This week the lads are going to give you the benefit of their experience and will give you some top tips that will not only help you to survive but maybe even to flourish at a festival. We’re talking about food, drink, tents and the eternal question of what footwear to wear. Will it be wellies, trainers or walking boots? Tune in to find out.

They will also give you their fantasy festival line up, talk about some of their favourite sets and some of the more interesting and unusual things they’ve seen over the years.

Oh, and there’s a quiz too. In fact, there are 2 of them.

The boys are taking a summer hiatus now so savour this episode as you won’t be hearing from them for a little while.

Here's a link to a Spotify playlist that has all of Neil's (and a cheeky one from Mark) fantasy line-up tracks: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0fCC29giuIx2BDA9Trgz1j?si=31eebdf068974e62

Ta ta for now.

This week Mark and Neil turn their attention to the apocalypse. In a step by step guide they will talk you through some serious, practical tips on how to get by if / when society collapses and you are left on your own to survive.

It turns out that against all expectations Mark is actually pretty well prepared and can teach us all a thing or two whereas Neil has not got a clue and is going to be zombie food within a matter of hours.

Along the way you’ll encounter the standard nonsense you’d expect from the lads and there’s even a trip to Lidl and Aldi which was fun for all involved.

And you will find out if they are actually able to pronounce the word ‘apocalypse’ - occasionally they do but for a pair of supposedly intelligent and worldly men, it’s a very disappointing performance. Must do better chaps, must do better!

Who’s up for a bit of politics?

You? Great, then you’ve come to the right place.

Welcome to our most shocking, horrifying and surprising episode to date.

Mark will shock you with his thoughts about Rishi Sunak, Neil will horrify you with what he wants to do with Speedos and you’ll be surprised at how long we talk about opinion polls without anything even approaching humour (seriously, there’s a solid 30 joke-free minutes in the first half). There’s a chance you could find it mildly interesting though so do stick with it. Or just skip forward to the 40 minute mark for a second half that is chock-a-block full of fun. If you don’t soil yourself laughing then you get your money back.

It really is a podcast of 2 halves.

Along the way we’ll be talking about our fantasy cabinets, political slogans, favourite tories and much, much more.

So, sit back, relax and enjoy yourselves. You’re in for a real treat.
