Summary
Yes, despite the fact we’re closer to episode 200 than 100, this really is episode 100! (We’d planned this ep a long time ago but only just got round to recording).
For the first time ever we’re joined by a guest and it’s Devon native and friend of the show, Josh Widdicombe.
In this episode we’ll discuss everything Devon related: Devon’s own Sir Francis Drake, the educational experiment that was Dartington Hall and one of the west country’s most notorious prisons.

| 0:27.1 | oh what a time hello and welcome to Oh, what the time. |
| 0:41.6 | I'm going to label this episode, episode 100, |
| 0:43.9 | because we actually planned it around the time that episode 100 was coming up. |
| 0:47.7 | And so I've totally destroyed the numbering system, |
| 0:50.4 | but this is actually episode 100. |
| 0:53.5 | It should be like 91A, 91B and all that kind of stuff, just so that the 100 is exactly |
| 1:01.2 | where he wanted to be. |
| 1:02.2 | This is episode 100 that was originally planned back, long before episode 100 was just on |
| 1:06.9 | the horizon, and then for some reason we never got round to it, but we left the gap because we thought it was any week. So anyway, it doesn't matter we're here now. It's episode 100.

| 1:28.1 | I'm just trying to think of all my biases as a London City boy. |
| 1:30.7 | Cream, custard. Yeah, there you are. There we go. I go wonderful people, beautiful coastline. And of course, the wonderful people. Exactly. The wonderful people of Devon, of course. The reason it's on Devon, of course, is because this is our first ever guest show. |
| 1:45.1 | We have |
| 1:45.5 | the brilliant Josh Whitacom joining us in a little while, and we're going to be telling him |
| 1:49.1 | three interesting things about Devon. Proud Devonian. Yeah, proud Devonian. So much so |
| 1:55.1 | that he's just moved back. Yeah, he's Devin's big shot. Talking of big shots. What a live show that was last week, guys. Huge. |
| 2:03.8 | Amazing to see. Two very different live beasts in that Tom Crane absolutely riddled with anxiety, Chris Skull, bulletproof confidence. |
| 2:13.9 | And I like to think that I'm sort of, I'm a sort of halfway house. |
