Miscellaneous
Ok, so we decided to record in the evening of the 6th January, when absolutely not other big news stories were happening whatsoever! We squeeze the last few drops of interest out of the new year, and then take a 'where are they now' look back at some of the best interesting things of 2020. Why isn't Carole Baskin in jail? Does anyone play Animal Crossing any more? And what would Ben's one Youtube video be about? Thanks as always to Tony Thaxton for our theme!
