Move over Sherlock, a new greatest detective is in town! Nora and Tom are here to tell us all about Columbo, his wacky tangents, and why he's the best detective they know.

We take Hey! I Like on the road this time, as Jess and Tam talk you through the beginning of their epic journey through Europe.

Lucy is back with more Dracula content! This time, we do actually manage to talk about the book for longer than 5 minutes.

We have returned!

This time, Aro and Jess are sharing the love for Batman and his (enormous) family. DC canon is a mess, but stick around for a discussion of the good, the bad and the ugly of almost a century of the world's greatest detective.

We've hit 50 episodes! Time to party!

Tom's back and you know what that means: more Lord of the Rings! This time, the Battle for Middle Earth video games.

New guest, Joel, is here to tell us all about the process of building a drone (using a 3D printer), wind tunnels, and the epic highs and lows of aerospace engineering.

The girl guides go international!

Lucy returns to tell us all about the many many international opportunities that exist within the guides, how to get the best badges, and how to wrangle small children in London.

It's the return of the king (Tom) here to tell us all about every film adaptation of Lord of the rings! From the wild animated adventures of the 70s to the Peter Jackson trilogy we all adore!

Have you been seeing memes about the pommel horse guy? Have you been wondering why horse sports were all over your news feed for over a week? Look no further! Jess and Elizabeth are here to guide you through the craziness of the Paris Olympics, one news burst at a time

(WARNING: our job, much like some of the olympians discussed, is just horse).

In this first episode of a new season, Kent brings us an explanation of the weirdest post-apocalyptic novel anyone has (n)ever heard of.

And here we have the silly things we say and do that don't make the final cut. Have fun!

As we say goodbye to another fabulous pride month, Rook leads us through a discussion of our favourite books with queer characters, and what language is used to desrcibe them.

Statement of JJ and Ren regarding their love for and fear of The Magnus Archives.

We are once again here with some Shakespeare shenanigans - this time with Lucy and Rook. If you ever thought Shakespeare was boring, a) you're wrong and b) listen to this to find out why you're wrong.

"It'll be a short one," Tom said.

"The Silmarillion episode will be longer," Tom said.

I live in fear of the Silmarillion episode. This, however, is the Lord of the Rings episode and therefore everything is fine. If you have 2 hours to spare, dive right on in - we had a lot to say.

We're back!

On the third week of pride month, this podcast gave to me... a whole load of asexual history.

Jess is back in the hot seat to talk about a topic very close to their heart - she wrote a whole sixteen thousand words about it after all - asexuality and ace history.

If any listeners are German, we apologise profusely for the bad pronunciation.

Kicking off our special pride episodes, are Jess, Lucy, and Tom to talk about all things LGBT+.
