DOOMSDAY DOUBLE, Bonus episode.

A couple of episodes ago we presented part one of our doomsday special. Then last episode we recorded part two, but because we're insufferable gum flappers, we didn't have room to include it.

So, as a bit of a bonus, I've put the two parts together to release as a standalone.

This is JUST the kind of solid gold content usually reserved for Patreon.

Luckily, neither Nina or I can be arsed working out how Patreon works, so you get it for free.

So play the lot together, or just the new second half. We're not the boss of you.

Part 1 - bunkers, part 2 - rations.
