Summary
This week’s pod was recorded on Wednesday morning, BEFORE Huw Edwards was named as the ‘mystery BBC presenter’ in question. As a result, Giles and Esther spend the first few minutes trying very hard to stay on the right side of libel law. Please do have a laugh at their (and Neil’s) expense as they walk a pointless tightrope.
In other news; unique sounds, tennis is boring and for wusses and an alternate summer awaits.
We’re off for a break. Hope to see you in September.
