Summary

Andy is joined by Helen to look at a few stories of human endeavor, including: creation of the MAMMOPHANT, beauty spot stag do's and traffic lights versus Darwin. What are we doing to prolong humankind? Not much AND too much.

Plus The Trumpet – enough Trump to keep you sated, but not so much to cause uncontrollable bouts of pre-apocalyptic terror.

This show was recorded in Andy's shed.
