At Eastercon we welcomed Stunt Liz @nwhyte to the podcast for the first time, and he brought an excellent tartan rocket! We discuss Glasgow 2024’s April Fool’s Day joke, before moving onto the Hugo Award finalists, what we think of Telford, and chatting about a lot of British TV.

I'm on the hunt for a copy of Wynde - Behind the Man starring Matt Berry and written by Richard Ayoade. Does anyone have a copy or know where I can get one? Please and thank you for your help!

It's entirely likely that at my funeral my kids will play the opening to "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace" because it was the one thing he wouldn't stop going on about...

It's probably a long shot but if there's anyone in #Canterbury #Kent and loves #GarthMarenghi, I have a spare ticket to his live show at the #Marlowe #Theatre tonight!

Holy shit, GARTH MARENGHI is on Off Menu this week!?! 🤯

Those mad lads… They did it.

They actually did it.
