Episode 409

This one’s kinda sorta not really got a theme. I won’t mention it here, so as not to spoil the oh-so-clever opening bit. (Were you around when oh-so-clever opening bits were much more of a thing here? Say hi in the comments if you were!) Away we go.

Episode 401

What do you do when you’ve reached 400 podcast episodes? Keep going, I guess! We’ll stick to the Holding Tanks this time through and for the most part keep things a bit on the down-low. (That’s what the cool kids say, right? Humor me.) Off you go.
