Paul & Scott's Midlife Point
The National Beer Awards
Ep. 13
•
Paul is boycotting several radio stations because of a particular advert; Scott doesn’t have his scraper to remove ice from his car’s windscreen, but luckily he does have his driving licence
Plus: what does it take to become an award-winning podcast? Will Paul ever find a cap that fits his head? And why is removing ear hair so much fun?

40:11||Ep. 12Paul and Scott have just ordered a Burger King delivery from Just Eat and are aiming to have the podcast recorded before it arrives.
