We’re lacking in rhymes, but here’s number 36 on sweet, sweet time.

We have a whine about live sports again this week, before Ms Magical Hat asks us about lesser known Scottish facts. Unicorns, bar brawls and urine soaked wool all feature.

Story times this week include a strange cold case from the Kingdom of Fife. No witnesses, no apparent motive, and cause of death an ancient martial arts move. Might you be the one to solve it?

We’re then riding down to the village of Alloway to attend a Gothic gathering at the Auld Kirk, as we explore the classic Scots poem Tam O’Shanter.

Episode 35 has arrived, what a time to be alive.

What a week we've had! This episode has been whipped up just in time for you lovely lot.

First we ask ourselves which horror films we wouldn't bother giving a second watch. TW: controversial opinions.

Hannah talks us through some of the more gothic style choreograph stylings of Kenneth McMillan. He covered it all, smashed some boundaries and strayed from the ballet structure.

Chris then takes us for a swim around one of Edinburgh long lost lochs. Join us, the water's disgusting.
