#7 The Great Escape

Season 1 · Episode 7

Wednesday, February 19, 2025 • Duration 36:43

Away from the wild frontier and back in civilisation the new normal is getting old and weird fast. There’s a restless and uncertain atmosphere closing in, until out of nowhere the winds of change blow in hard off the Caribbean and it’s all change, jump and the net will appear ….. right?

#6 Leaving paradise behind

Season 1 · Episode 6

Friday, October 4, 2024 • Duration 34:42

After 105 days and nights out on the wild frontier, the rainy season is coming and it’s time to leave the haven of the house on the hill and return to a world changed forever. The snap back to reality is harsh and not an easy transition, it also opens up the bigger question... what’s next?

Season 1 · Episode 4

#3 Lost in paradise

Wednesday, June 21, 2023 • Duration 39:13

Welcome back to episode 3, broadcasting live from the edge of the world. We return to that lost horizon, that distant shore, as the party is finally over and yet weirdly... somehow only just begun. Should I stay or should I go now is the theme tune of the day and planes are fading from the skies overhead. Hear about those who made a break for it, those who wished they’d stayed, some who were trapped by circumstance and the ones that got away.

#2 Who the f*@k is Doug?

Season 1 · Episode 2

Saturday, May 6, 2023 • Duration 34:34

The Doug Show presents episode 2 of 'The Festival at the End of the World', taking us back to where it all began. From our protagonist's humble beginnings on the Isle of Man, to his first spiritual awakenings at Stonehenge Free Festival, from whence he returned only to be thrown in jail. We'll hear about his daring escape to the seedy underbelly of the London squat scene on the Portobello Road and find ourselves teetering on the brink of revolution at Castlemorten, the largest free party gathering in UK history.
