Episode 26
Pogs, A Big Announcement, The Darkness of Robins and Tin Foil Dave
Show broadcast on 10 August 2014
They're back, this week in a strange new world/studio. Elis and John have got a big announcement this week, but before that there's the usual fun and games. They've got a big-haired Sacred Cow, another Winner Plays On and tales of your addictions (excluding the Big Four). Plus a follicle-themed Textual Healing, and John's countdown of the most addictive iPhone games.
