Previous Episode

25: Cynic - Traced In Air
Let the prog begin, as Louis takes Kate and yourselves through the unique, wonderful and beguiling Traced In Air, the 2008 comeback record from legendary progessive metal act Cynic. The album goes to some deeply spiritual and esoteric places lyrically, and the musicianship is truly sublime. This episode also features Tim Curry impressions and Louis takes some time at the end to make a serious point. Stick around for it.
The management hopes you enjoy this latest Pride themed episode, and would like to reiterate that all are welcome and this podcast is no place for homophobia, biphobia or transphobia. Thanks for listening.

27: Office Space
Today's episode explores Louis' love of the cult comedy Office Space, directed by Mike Judge. Its brutal look at workplace frustration struck a chord with many and continues to be loved to this day. Louis and Kate look at the production details, characters, satirical points and even find time for an in depth conversation about what a pizza shooter and an extreme fajita might be. There's also a few comparisons with other workplace based media.
The management of the podcast would like to draw your attention to the truly horrendous pun at the start of the podcast, as it is both vile and wondrous.
