Summary

Iain and Jacqui indulge in a bit of singing and ponder the consequences of the disastrous EU summit in Salzburg. They look ahead to the Labour Party conference and wonder what lies ahead for The Bodyguard. And they answer a shed load of your questions including which politician has the weakest handshake (you might be shocked by both their answers) and which is Iain’s favourite Abba track. Do podcasts get better than this? Smut Quota: Lowish.

1:08.2

Such a homophobic question, isn't it really? Because you assume, because I'm gay, that therefore I must be a sound of music fan,

1:14.3

and you'd be absolutely right.

1:16.9

And I'm not gay, and I'm also a sound music fan.

And there aren't actually that many of them.

1:35.2
