We’re back with special guest John Reed (he/him) aka ‘The Storyteller Fellah’! John talks to us about his work teaching poetry to people who are incarcerated in men’s prisons. Bristo and Legohead celebrate for Neurodiversity Week (neurodiversityweek.com), ask what exactly is a cack, and get up to their usual nonsense. John regales us with an improv tale at the gallows, we all decide living on the moon is the way to go, we are serenaded with our least favourite songs, and an amazing poem is shared with us. Come for the insanity, stay for the actual heartfelt shit we get into.   TRIGGER WARNINGS 18+ Adult themes, listener discretion advised.
