Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH
Gondoliers Can Smell Blood. And Amy Gledhill (TOADS)
•
Happy one-year anniversary to They Like to Watch! To celebrate, we completely forgot until our sweetest listener emailed to remind us.
We visit the Sperm Kings, as a couple, but then go our separate ways for Nordic Noir and Rylan Clark. Try to guess who chose what.
We also talk to the truly hilarious Amy Gledhill about her excellent Blap - BLAP! - Toads.

THE JESSE ARMSTRONG REWATCH S1 E10: Nobody Is Ever Missing
56:32|We sat down with Jesse at a house, in a cow shed with a corrugated iron roof to talk about the season one finale. Who wants to hear about it? Yeah? Well, you're out of luck, 'cause nothing happened, we just knitted and made salads, did some yoga. And no one will tell you different, because we killed the stripper.Can he scuba? Will he buckle under the intellectual scrutiny? Could this be the defining moment of his life? Or it could be what is should be: Nothing at all.BT-Dubz: That's it from Jarmstrong until January, as we're taking a short break. We're not sorry for what we're doing, which is correct, but we're sorry for how it makes you feel. And we're sorry it had to be today.We're doing a live show!

57:09|It's the penultimate episode of season one, and the guests are arriving for a destination wedding in an offshore laundry for turning evil into hard currency.We're back with showrunner/wedding planner, Jesse Armstrong. We have a lot of time for him, but there may be certain questions: Securing a considerable level of investment for a Napoleonic history podcast - is that nothing?
