Summary

This week’s podcast is presented by Jacqueline and Stephen.

We hear from:

· Witherspoon, who has thoughts on Adam and Alice;

· Vicky, who is a bit more sympathetic towards Alice;

· Claire from Clapham, who is fed up with "petulant man-babies";

· Globe-trotting Richard, who has views on the Borsetshire Land Board meeting;

· and finally Alan from Ramsgate, who is supportive of Brad.

We also have emails from Chris in Indiana and from loyal listener Purple Pumpkin.

As usual we'll hear a roundup of the Dumteedum Facebook group, this week from a familiar voice, and the Tweets of the Week from Theo, plus the Week in Ambridge from Suey.
