What's All This Then with Charlotte McDonnell and Libby Watson
One Direction with Kendra Wells
Drag Me Down! Is what I would say to a demon popping his little fiery head up from Hell if I was trapped in a room with One Direction playing. We're joined by Kendra Wells, the wonderfully talented artist who authored the entire fuckin books Real Hero Shit and the forthcoming Real Hero Shit 2: Harder Than It Looks (and drew the art for our show!!), to discuss One Direction. Are they a cynical product of Simon Cowell's demonic machine, or just some nice boys? Was the fandom a bit of fun or super weird and nasty? All This and More, like BLOODY WOKE CHRIMBO TREES??? and a One Direction personality quiz, which you can take yourself! Find out if you are Liam or one of the other ones, and we'll analyze the results on a Finest episode. Please. We need content.

31. Alan Partridge with Dan O'Sullivan
01:37:25||Ep. 31A-HA! Is the only thing I could possibly have written for this bit of the Alan Partridge episode description. We're joined by Dan O'Sullivan, host of The Outfit, to discuss how BLOODY good Alan Partridge is, plus Irish opinions of Britain and a couple heating their home with a data center. Also, a little game we're calling "real or fake."30. The Theater with Paul F. Tompkins
01:47:26||Ep. 30Bravo! Encore! Etc! Is what you’ll be saying when you see that our guest this week is the one and only Paul F. Tompkins, an Absolute Legend of podcasting, here to talk to us about The Theatre. Plus, Dorset knob throwing, and a Tesco Reviews game. Go see Paul LIVE; Libby has done it and she says it ROCKS! And, a little Thanksgiving treat for you all: Watch this episode for FREE on YouTube!29. Rounders with Lauren Walker
02:03:35||Ep. 29Really? Is what I'd say if you told me you loved playing rounders. Today we're talking about rounders—not the 1998 movie starting Matt Damon and Edward Norton but the slightly rubbish British version of baseball—with Lauren Walker of the Batting Around podcast and Rotating Sandwiches website. Plus, the baffling Leicestershire tradition of bottle-kicking, and we pit some British sandwiches against some American sandwiches—and if you want to see what a toast sandwich or a "Beef Manhattan" look like, sign up for the video tier!28. Spaced with Rocky Pajarito
01:55:37||Ep. 28Hello Jessica Hynes! Is what I would say if I was transported back in time to the set of Spaced, because she's the main one I would like to talk to, honestly. I would ask her how she is doing and if I could get her a cup of tea or anything, and does she know she'll get to snog Doctor Who in about 10 years? We're joined by Rocky Pajarito, one quarter of the dazzlingly talented, prolific, and frequently wet improv group Everything Now Show, to discuss the cult classic sitcom Spaced. Plus, another faux-historical involving beer, and Charlotte's 100% accurate Spaced character quiz, which YOU can take too! Join our Patreon to see video, listen to ad-free episodes, and tell us which Spaced character you are!27. Dogging with Bryan Quinby
01:55:39||Ep. 27[Headlights flashing in the dark; what could it mean? Just a lost driver, or perhaps a lonely soul looking for something more?] Is what might happen if you went dogging in one of England's green and pleasant lay-bys. We're joined by truly the only person we would EVER want to cover dogging with, Bryan Quinby of Guys: A Podcast About Guys, an expert on all matters swinging and sex guys. Or, in this case, sex blokes? Plus, Conker News AGAIN?!26. Bonfire Night with Ricky Peacock
01:49:35||Ep. 26Who's this Guy then? Is probably what they said when they found the bloke with all the gunpowder under Parliament, and how amusing that would have been, due to what his name was. We're joined by our streamer friend Ricky Peacock to talk chicken "burgers," comedy college, and Conker News, before we figure out whether Bonfire Night is good or bad or maybe even racist, somehow. Plus, Charlotte did the game! What's Charlotte's game? You'll have to listen to find out—and you could even WATCH to find out on the Watch All This Then tier of the Patreon!25. Derren Brown with @slowpuke
01:57:11||Ep. 25OooOOO how'd 'e do that then! Is what you'd say if you were watching Derren Brown make a guy think he really wants a sausage roll or whatever. It's our first All In-Person episode! We recorded an episode in an actual bloody room together with our first return main feed guest, Slowpuke, to discuss Britain's greatest magician and the absolute mentalist, Derren Brown. Plus, we taste-test some proper Cadbury versus some of the Hershey's version, and we put our Derren-esque skills to the test in our game.24. Only Connect with Josh Boerman
01:51:06||Ep. 24Connect! Is what I would be saying, beaming and placid, with jam around my mouth, if I was mistakenly placed on an Only Connect team. We're talking about Da Smart People Show For Brits with Josh Boerman, host of the Worst Of All Possible Worlds and Ill Conceived, who also has opinions about Irn Bru and whether British people are worse to work with than Americans. Plus, more controversy at silly sports with the stone skimming championships, and Charlotte does a Charlotte-themed Charlotte's Game, which is rather appropriate, don't you think?
