We also hear about a 24 hour singing challenge that accidentally lasted 25 and three quarter hours, why Alex's wife Rachel is in charge of his private pension, and a highly questionable \"life swap\" idea based entirely on dishwasher ethics.\n\nArchitectural historian and seaside culture expert Dr. Kathryn Ferry stops by to celebrate Scarborough’s 400th anniversary and answer the questions that matter - did King George III actually say \"bugger Bognor\"? Why do pleasure piers have a habit of burning down? And would you buy the Brighton Palace Pier with Harry?\n\nHit subscribe so you never miss an episode!\n\nTimestamps\n00:00 – Welcome to the Hill Show!\n\n00:36 – A Love Song for Ham\n\n01:36 – Meet Alex Horne!\n\n02:28 – Licky the Mascot\n\n03:45 – The Cheshire United Pig Mascot\n\n04:50 – The 25-and-Three-Quarter-Hour Sing-a-thon Error\n\n06:15 – Granola Chaos Backstage at Battersea Power Station\n\n07:18 – Dishwashing Debates &amp; The Wife Swap Idea\n\n10:45 – Sarah the AI Bot Claims She Felt Scammed\n\n12:44 – Is Alex a Musician?
