Trivial Trials (formerly Butterflies on the Wheel [because who doesn't love a rebrand]) is where the world's most Trivial Criminals are finally brought to justice by Jack Gardner Vaa, Sebastian Hendra and Raghu Kesavan.
Trial 40 – Beth versus Cricket
It's the Cricket Episode! Featuring one of the most egregious decisions ever made in this definitely not real court. Like, listening back, I'm like "how did you even think that that would be the right conclusion to draw" like who even thinks that?! Like seriously! Man, F this S.

Trial 39 - Human Mud versus Sonic Vandals
The Trivial Trial returns in the safest of hands (Judge Jack's), as he sifts through Sebastian's harrowing story, stresses through Raghu's, and delivers one of his "most incredible" (self-proclaimed) deliberations yet. With special thanks to Apple's Jonathan Ive, who catches a sensational number of strays with this episode.

Episode 37 - Bob Dylan versus The Indian Bureaucrat
Oh my days! It's us! Back! Jack does Bob Dylan, Raghu does his best story ever (in my opinion, not that it matters), and Sebastian judges the balls off of us

Episode 36 - Dog People versus Jack's Hate Crime
Pucker up! The Trivial Trial is in session once more, with Raghu taking to the role of judge like a duck to water, or Jack to the idea of an attack on one of his best friends. Sebastian debuts Sappho, who will soon be his replacement in the Very Real Court, just as soon as she finishes law school. And if you are listening to this on Spotify, we think (?) you can now vote on who you think deserves to win the episode?

Episode 34 - Profane Munchkin versus Divorced Architect
AKA The Spicy Butter Waffle Episode. Sebastian returns to his rightful place as court judge, sniffing out justice to his heart's content. Raghu's velvety tones take on a lactose quality, while Jack Vaa is actually from, like, Denmark? In case you didn't know?

Episode 33 - The Return of the Trivial Trial
With new and improved microphones, and outdated and degrading perceptions of life, the Boys are Back for Season 4 of the best barely listened to podcast of all time. With Raghu acting as a cutting judge, Jack freaks out about his hair and Sebastian throws one of his slaves under the bus. Some things never change.

Episode 32 - The Queen versus Tony Gardner versus Botw
Recorded August 2019. Which is why all the references are from a distant era, pre-Brexit, when Corona was just the only beer you put a lime into for some unknown reason. Jack's Dad and actor Tony Gardner joins us for this episode, in what could potentially be a career-defining role. In fact, after listening back to this, we are convinced this will have massive implications for his career. Raghu discusses the Royal Family (#EatTheRich), Jack commits Patricide and Tony discovers the dangers of reading through Urban Dictionary in a pub whilst waiting to come to the recording... Oh boy.
