   Dave Hill

   Steven Davidson takes American comedy hero Dave back in time to a life he did not live, analysing a childhood with Cher and David Attenborough for parents, poisoning groups of people at Christmas and flying on the back of overweight bees.   No guest ever sees the questions in advance.   These shows contain lies, improvisation and nonsense discussed in a very serious manner. Thanks to EKVelika on Freesound.org for the use of his epic folk ballad guitar tune.

   Mike Capozzola

   Steven Davidson drags Mike into an alternative dimension of the Capozzola mind where things worked out very differently.   Amongst other adventures, we hear about Mike's successful crossbow stall at Buckingham Palace, his early years living at Neverland ranch, working with a young David Bowie at the United Nations and why he wil never have more than exactly 5000 fans.  No guest ever sees the questions in advance. Thanks to Daisy D and Greystoke for their excellent tunes!
