    Bristopia returns for another episode – broadcasting from 2017, your host Andy Price once more exams the state of the country from the UK's new capital city, Bristol. This is the first show post-Brexit – will its fallout in the future be tackled? Yes, and no. By which we mean a little bit. In today's episode, Andy gives you a rundown on what's been happening here in the future in the last few weeks and how it might affect YOU, before sitting down to chat with our in studio guest this episode, the returning Mrs Miggles. Despite trying to murder Andy to the tune of Britney Spears' Hit Me Baby One More Time, he's foolishly let her back into the studio to talk about the difficulties of going paperless when you don't know how to use the internet. And of course, American Intern Exchange Student, documentary-maker Justin Crockler is back with our main story.

    28:48|
    Welcome back to season 2 of Bristopia! After a challenging live show closed our season 1 on an appalling note, your host Andy Price finally made it out the other side of his nervous breakdown to host the first episode of season 2. Welcome to 2017 you say? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? It means we're in the future, keep up. Seriously though, over the break Andy had a bunch of spare time and invented time travel, so season 2 of Bristopia takes place in the future: 2017. It's like the worst sci-fi ever. WE MEAN THE BEST. In today's episode Andy explains, concisely, all of the above. We discuss Bristol's new status as capital of England and meet our new prime minister Gavin Mcfabulous. Elsewhere we find out what office culture is like in the future before finally catching up with American Intern Exchange Student Justin Crockler who presents his latest documentary about how Bristol is now overrun with cat cafes to the extent that many establishments have now had to create elaborate ways to diversify.

    In this episode of Bristopia, your host Andy speaks to a man that's getting extremely frustrated with the Aardman Animation studios, a young lady trying to make it big as a film reviewer – if only she could grasp simple film plots, Bob Wildlife returns and opens himself up to ridicule by hosting his very first Twitter Q&A, before finally, Andy and Bristopia's American Intern Exchange Student Justin Crockler talk to a business woman that helps other businesses find their niche. I mean, guys, she came up with the concept of the doughnut peach. Just like the peach, she's sweet enough, but also like the peach, she might be about to meet a sticky end... God, sorry for that. Awful.
