In our fifty-second episode (as in it is the episode after the fifty-first, not that it goes for fifty seconds. It goes for quite a bit longer than that), we are joined by the Earwig and Selwyn, Australia's fastest snail. Listen and learn how long it takes a snail to run a marathon, how to efficiently transport a team of insects to France, and the specific risks posed to snail athletes by French cuisine. Apologies for the length of this one, it turns out snails talk as slowly as they move.

This week, we are joined by eroticist Jonathan Crepuscular, who is having a creative slump. What caused it? Can he get out of it? And how could the musical Cats be made any more disturbing than it already is? Find out in this episode, which, like many musicals, is much too long and involves unexpected and uncalled for outbreaks of song.

In an unexpected bonus episode, Douglas unpouches some more of his mistakes. Expect to hear interruptions by cats, inappropropriate giggles and confusion over the pronunciation of Kleinwachter's Flugeladjutant. Plus a soothing melody completely ruined by having Douglas gargling over the top of it - If Douglas went through the pain of recording it, it only seems fair that you should have the pain of hearing it.

This week, we're going to expand our vocabularies with a collection of some unusual and interesting words that Douglas has noted. At last, an episode that is fine to listen to with your grandmother (unless your grandmother is into the utter filth this podcast usually contains. I don't know her, for all I know, she loves the rude stuff and will find this episode boring. If your grandmother is like that, then perhaps best not to listen to it with her. She may be bored by it.)

In this week's episode, Jonathan Crepuscular treats us to an excerpt from his new trouser-troubling tome, inspired by the political struggles of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Slightly more sultry than you might expect for a book about Australian politics, but that's hardly a compliment given how low a bar that is.
