The Great Carb Debate - or why wheat is the Deloitte of staple grains
TW: This podcast contains references to sexual violence and harassment
We're back with episode 3 and at the forefront of our minds this week was the tragic Sarah Everard case, resulting in a more sombre tone than usual as we discuss what men need to do to improve the safety of women. In more light-hearted news, we are joined by a new co-host, as Josh joins us to get stuck into alcohol and the Sicilian Defence, a story about Non-Fungible Tokens in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and this week's main segment where we vote out one of bread, pasta, rice and potatoes. Elsewhere we learn about the racket that is fine art, Romania's version of Romeo and Juliet, and the influence of Gourmet Burger Kitchen on staple food production.

Travel - or why we wish we lived in Bhutan (Part 2)
Our “weekly” podcast returns three weeks later for Episode 2! This time our main segment is about travel as we investigate George’s traumatic teenage years, what type of milk Orlando Bloom would want to have poured on him, and why The Dragon King is a disrespectful DJ name. We’ve somehow rambled on even longer this week and are too lazy to edit down, so the episode is split into two parts: Part 1 includes What drink is this chess opening? and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Part 2 picks up where we left off and features the main segment - this week on travel - as well as Stock of the Week. We hope you enjoy!

Living in the vertical plane - or why everyone loves a mezzanine
Buckle up for our very first episode! Things begin to fall apart from the very start as our hosts' lack of professionalism shines through (epitomised by discussing a news story that is already a month old). In this episode: a chess opening is referred to as "milky"; David Moyes becomes Prime Minister of Great Britain; and we tackle that most obvious of questions: why do we only live in 2.5D?
