Ep 163 - A Husk Of The Cusk

Crabb has interviewed Cusk. She's sensibly failed to mention the recent Cusk-related anxiety wee-dream which you ALL REMEMBER.

EP 152 - Goldfish Brains

Staggering to the end of 2020, Crabb and Sales's attention spans are so completely shot that they can't retain anything they've seen or read. Still, Annabel loved The Crown, especially the standout performance by Gillian Anderson's jaw; and Leigh has finally got onto Cheer. Theatre is back! And the next instalment of (CLANG!) Garner's memoirs is out. They're both looking forward to reading the book by total legend Nat's What I Reckon.
