The Chris and Sam Podcast

Space Meals

Ep. 432

Summary

This week Sam's been battling a cold, while also battling some sort of mic problem. So the audio isn't as clear as we normally would have it.

Chris has been upskilling his dance skills this week.

We have a date for our fireside chat in July. Also HaHa Hamilton is coming up. If you head along make sure to say hi to Chris.

Talking about Hamilton, Sam went to the musical this last week, somehow stuffing up the prepaid car park he had organised. Find out how the rest of the show went.

We learn about Jonathan Nabs and his massive run he's embarked on. Chris is blown away by a bladder fact.

We learn how they do things differently in Ghana when it comes to movie posters. Hell Pizza has a problem with buy now pay later schemes so come up with their own.

How much would you pay to eat a fancy meal in space?

Looks like Hamilton is going to have a problem with a golden clam. And Kaikoura is turning out to be a great location for a television production.

All this and more. So come have a listen and tell a friend.
