Summary

"The best laid plans of mice and men," said Rabbie Burns, "often go awry." And so it is as Toby tells James about how his travel plans have gone over the past fortnight, even though he’s in Majorca with his wife and four children.

Better to be on holiday in Spain than to be in England with a hacked Twitter account. James' Twitter profile (and his followers) have been hijacked by a crypto currency scammer.

They then discuss the weird ‘crossover’ podcast in which Nick Dixon, Toby’s other podcasting partner, interviewed James for his other podcast, The Current Thing.

In Culture Corner, Toby praises season 1 of The Tulsa King (Paramount+) while James has been watching Eldorado: Everything the Nazis Hate (Netflix) and The Traitors: Australia (BBC3 and i-Player in the UK; there is an American version that runs on Peacock.)

Opening sound this week is Novak Djokovic's gracious speech after his Finals loss at Wimbledon.
