I read once about a podcast that vanished without warning. When it suddenly reappeared, almost two years later, everything was fine. No-one had unsubscribed and everyone just kept listening as if nothing had happened. So, you know, maybe something to think about there. Anyway, this time on Cheerful Despair: <ul> <li>How is anti-vax Hercules stored in David Candy’s brain?</li> <li>Shifty Un-American Owls</li> <li>Yesterday, all my plot holes seemed so far away</li> <li>“He wasn’t a warrior princess, he was a Korean man”</li> </ul> Plus! <ul> <li>Cross-Quiz</li> <li>Debate Bag</li> <li>The muffled sound of three men eating Pappadums</li> </ul>

Episode 21 - The Skeletal Remains of Jackie Bird

Join two men on the right side of middle age and the wrong side of clinical obesity as they talk about basically nothing. Be disturbed by their absurd views and alarmed by how much you agree with them. For thirty minutes anything goes - this is cheerful despair.
