Happy Bank Holiday Monday... Or whenever you're catching up.
In this episode, we explain the new era of the podcast going forward and what you can expect after some slight changes.
If you love a dramatic, scandalous documentary, we've got some early recommendations for you.
Sparky's been on an all-day sesh and has found the best game at the Old Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham.
What annoys you that doesn't directly affect you?
We discuss the great Mars bar scandal that Sparky has spotted online, which reminds us of a time when we worked in radio, and a Mars bar nearly caused a whole radio station to be closed down.

Happy Monday, Ducks
Welcome to another week. In the busyness of everything at the moment, we have to do the catch-up we normally do before recording the actual episode.
But it could end up helping. Jo wants ideas on what to get Sparky's son Hendrix for his 3rd birthday... Suggestions welcome.
Does your eating change when your partner is away?? Sparky went a bit mad last week. Have you got any stories like this?
Jo's forgotten something pretty important for her working week down in London, and it actually looks pretty convenient that she forgot that specific item.
It nearly kicks off about the eclipse again.
And Charles has a wild suggestion to fix the current issue we have with the podcast.
We play Guess the Year and Kids Tell Fibs as well.
Enjoy

Errrr... what's this? An episode on a Tuesday?!
Sorry it's late, but here it is.
Sparky is buzzing off the back of Gloworm Festival. He's had a big weekend with the wife and kids, and he's most happy about working with a certain celebrity dog.
Jo's been on her niece's big hen do in Madrid... And it's safe to say, it didn't come without drama.
Then, of course, we need to get into your thoughts on the conversation we had on last week's episode "We need to talk"
You haven't held back!!

Happy Monday, People!
Jo's having a very fun Monday. As this podcast goes out, Jo is on her way to a hen do in Madrid! BUT, she's made an error when booking the flights... Wait until you hear what she's having to do on the way home...
Sparky is being strong-armed into buying something by his wife. Have you got a walking pad? What are your thoughts??
Owen, age 15's Mum (Carolyn) has been in touch, and it turns out Sparky has more in common with a 15-year-old than he realises.
We learn some hacks to make it look like you're busy at work when you're actually not.
And the ultimate repeat excuse for being late for work!
Would you judge someone who doesn't like condiments? Like NO KETCHUP?!
Also, "Can we have a chat?" We genuinely need some feedback from you? So don't be shy to drop us a message. This is your opportunity to have your say.
Our inbox is open on Facebook and Instagram.
Lots of love

Happy Monday, Duck!
Are we happy with third for the World Cup? Of course, we can even make going 4-nil up a stressful situation for the country.
Sparky's been to London over the weekend and ended up at the dogs. When was the last time you went to the greyhound racing? Got to love those drink prices.
Jo thinks everyone should watch the new Katie Price documentary.
Jo gets ailment advice from Sammi. Apparently it's all about making the most of an MRI scan...
There is outrage at the new reward scheme from Octopus Energy. Jo and Listener Kate are livid.... Who knew trying to get a free coffee was such hard work...

We of course have loads to catch up on, including the excitement of the World Cup. England through to the semis. We manifest it coming home!!
We cover complaints, corrections and lovely messages that have given us goosebumps and made us get a bit sentimental.
We also had to address a news story that involved an awkwardly cropped photo...

Happy Monday, people!
Can you believe it? A year of the podcast. 52 episodes of bin chat and train chat. There has also been a fair bit of sauce chat. Which pops up again in this episode.
We discuss the heat, the World Cup, how we are getting thicker, yet AI is getting smarter. Remembering passwords and the debate about playing loud music in your own house continues....
We also play Guess the Year and Kids Tell Fibs.
Sparky has got some big news that is dropping today, so look out on our socials.

Happy Monday, Duckies, or as we're calling it, Fathers day boxing day.
Sparky starts with hype for his World Cup-themed Father's Day present.
Jo takes the hype to a whole new level with her new addiction to a certain online auction site.... What Not.
We have feedback and relationship advice for Producre Harvey after the bed sheet debacle from a few weeks back. Also, we got a text message from Harvey that will make you wonder how on earth he is allowed to do anything without proper adult supervision.
We have reports of posh 5-year-olds growing up in the East Midlands. If we think Gen Zs are bad, we should be wondering about what's coming next.
Where is the worst place your phone has rang out loud?? Sparky's got a story.
A reminder, it's Adults only on Wednesday, so well worth getting involved with Patreon. Here's the link: patreon.com/JoandSparky

Happy Monday, Duckies!
Due to an organisational error. This week's free episode is a double hit of our latest Tenable controversy.
If you ever played Tenable on our radio show, you know it always came with a chance of drama. Well its safe to say it's fully kicked off in the last 2 weeks due to a single answer that has rocked this podcast to its very core.
If you haven't yet joined us in the world of Patreon, this is what you're missing out on.
It's a fiver a month to join. You can still listen to the extra episodes on your normal podcast app. Just click this link if this taster makes you want more.
