Mike Parry and Lesley-Ann Jones return to the helm of Life on Planet Porky with more fun and frivolous yet sensible and serious conversation.

Topics include: Restrictions being lifted, Brent Sadler's personal life, campaigning for the next Everton manager, Brian Jones' penchant for penning letters, graveyards, the debateable genesis of the song 'Eleanor Rigby', Heidi Klum's 'music' career, Emma Raducanu's new sponsorship deal, the latest development in the heart-breaking story of Anne Frank, working from home coming to an end, Porky's new TV gig, Bono's dislike of his own music, writing a blog, hedge funds, whether the 60s was a bit of a myth, a surprising apology Porky once received from an editor, the unique nature of sharing stories with journalists, and Rowley Gribben. It's the podcast that'll eat fish and chips wherever it likes, it's Life on Planet Porky.
