This episode we have a catch up talking about all things that we've enjoyed this summer. We attempt to talk about many more topics like board games, tv and film, video games, but I'm sure is expected by now, we went on too many tangents about music and festivals.
A massive thank you to all of our legendary patreons.

This episode we have 4 very special guests over 3 interviews. Something quite different to our normal episodes. We have Stu first talking about RIP and his experiences of it for the first time this year. Then we have Matt and Andrew from Antisaint back to talk to us about how the festival was for them from a bands point of view and how they found their first ever visit to the UK. And finally we have a long time friend of Adam's on Hannah Davies to talk to us about her experience this year staying at Melbourne Hall. All 3 interviews were a lot of fun to do and we want to give a huge thank you to all 4 guests.
Also we must thank all of our legendary patreons.
