  • John Robertson Returns!!

    01:47:28|
    I have a kinship with this man that I don't have with many other people. He is my Tyler Durdan, he is who I wish I'd allowed myself to be more like if I had't been so worried about societies rules and so it was a joy to have him back on the show. I hope you get as much joy from listening as much as I had recording it. This is the full, unedited version including our extra chat about John's top five favourite albums that is usually reserved for our Patreons, just to give you a taste of what you're missing over on our Patreon
