Summary
Today the hosts discuss: looking like radio, jazz vs. Led Zeppelin, receiving an unsolicited survey, why the powers that be want Covid to continue, New York going soft, the Poppy Day suicide bomber being looked after by do-gooders, Kev's mysterious sister, a live streaming disaster, booster balderdash, the backlash for Boris if he tries to cancel Christmas again, how many jabs we might be told we need, unsubstantiated rumours of another new wave, whether second jobs are acceptable for politicians, Geoffrey Cox's hypocrisy, Meghan and Harry supposedly getting to the bottom of their own misinformation, and MG's trip to America potentially scuppering the possibility of a festive live show. It's the podcast that knows who Father Christmas really is - it's The Thought Police.
