Just you wait until you learn about dementor wasps! These guys don't just sting - oh, no, they inject cockroaches with a mind-altering toxin that turns them into actual literal zombies... and things only get worse from there.

Because of that, these early episodes are not indictive of the show's current quality - both in terms of the equipment used and my own skills as a writer &amp; presenter - so apologies for that! Hopefully before too long I'll have caught up to my current output.
