All the simple questions are asked on this podcast, week in, week out. Ketchup or brown sauce? Beef or salmon? Who owns the Moon? Yep. Standard. Dave has employed the talents of Dr. Jill Stuart, an expert in space policy, ethics and law, to explain all about humanity’s plans to explore, potentially colonise and possibly even exploit the Moon. We also meet a differently-qualified lady, who was selling plots on the sun on eBay but they stopped her. And now she’s suing them.

Okay, this week’s episode won’t help you avoid the travesty of certain 'Irish' accents attempted by some Hollywood greats, because it’s not about accents. It’s about the unique way English is spoken on the island of Ireland, so it is.

In this week’s episode, there is 100% less colonoscopy content than last week. Disappointing, we know. However, what this episode lacks in colorectal exploration, it more than makes up for with Dane Bowers, The Who and the Cheers theme tune! You see, Dave is introducing us all to Rob Johnson, who is a Pop Music Activist. He literally saves the pop songs that streaming forgot and gets them put online for us all to hear.Also, Neil describes the most romantic date he’s ever been on. It also features much less colorectal content than we would all have hoped. Except for Neil’s date, one would imagine. To listen to Dave on the radio check out https://www.todayfm.com/shows/dave-moore-1499732To see Neil on tour check out www.neildelamere.com/gigsTo find out more about Rob's work visit https://popmusicactivism.wixsite.com/homePre-order Dave's book here https://www.easons.com/daves-bad-jokes-pb-dave-moore-9781804582060Presented and Produced by Neil Delamere and Dave MooreEdited by Eimear Shannon and Nicky RyanMusic by Dave MooreArtwork by Ray McDonnell

This week, the lads welcome back the brilliant Dr Andrew Mackillop to tell the story of the most audacious scam in Scotland’s history.

The man gives with one hand and takes with the other.  To listen to Dave on the radio check out https://www.todayfm.com/shows/dave-moore-1499732   To see Neil on tour check out www.neildelamere.com/gigs Sources: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33085031 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XNzNlGirLo https://www.businessinsider.com/liechtenstein-billionaire-worth-half-gdp-of-entire-country-2019-12 Presented and Produced by Neil Delamere and Dave Moore Edited by Eimear Shannon and Nicky Ryan Music by Dave Moore Artwork by Ray McDonnell
