The podcast heads to Scotland this week to meet Glaswegian scenic painter and prop maker, Gary Loughran.

In this episode, Gary tells us why he loves making stuff look like other stuff for the big screen, using paint to turn rubber into wood, foam into marble, and polystyrene into stone.

Hear how Gary has brought props and sets to life on 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves', 'Outlander,' and the cancelled 'Batgirl' movie.

Meanwhile, Laura gives an update on her first 'Laura Goes Digging' expedition, and debuts the (annoyingly catchy) jingle she's made for it.
