Summary
Ahem... What I mean is WELCOME to this palate-cleansing, no-guest, meandering edition of the podcast. Alexei and Talal catch up on how Alexei's recordings of his Imaginary Sandwich Bar went (airing on BBC Radio4 on 20th October), what TV shows they've been enjoying and answer some questions sent to us by our valued listeners. Oh, and they also invent a new political party... again.
So gather round in a hearty corral, help yourself to a bowl of beans and enjoy the show!
