Season Two - Episode Six - World Cup Special
With the biggest sports tournament in the World currently happening - the FIFA World Cup - it seemed that it would be the perfect topics for the debate on this weeks show. Louis Tipper, Ollie Appleyard, and Jansen Lee all joined me the the debate and to talk all things world cup. This week the show had three debates: The best player of the world cup, the best England player of the world cup, and then we discussed the England France game. I know the show is now slightly outdated, with there having been another week of football, but some great points were still raised and was an incredibly interesting topic to talk about. I hope you enjoy listening to the episode as much as I enjoyed recording it! Listen well.

We has four Christmas Themed debated: Best Christmas Food, Best Christmas Song, Best Christmas Film, and Best Christmas Tradition, as well as plenty more sub-topics including TV Christmas Specials, and best Christmas chocolate collection.

Episode 2 - 08/02/2022 - Violet Cairns, Eve Shaw, Anastasia Fage and Pavan Vaghela
This week the three girls in my uni house (Violet, Eve and Anastasia) joined me for the show. I introduced a new feature, room 101, where each of the girls chose one thing from University to put in room 101 before I decided which out of the three should go in. Pavan came on to represent URN for the football predictor games and took on myself and Eve, who plays football for the Uni. As an Arsenal fan, it only seemed right to let Pavan have a chat with our very own Jansen about all things Arsenal and both had very interesting things to say. I also introduced another new feature called 'Sutton-Death' which is going to feature weekly on the show. Each week, one guest is going to take me on in naming answers in a category of Jansen's choosing. This week it was Violet taking me on. As always, me and Jansen finished by reviewing our chosen film for the week. This week it was the Prestige, which is a cracking film. Happy Listening!
