This episode contains a sob story, but more importantly: a celebrity interview(!), but I shan’t spoilt it by revealing too much. How refreshing! Here’s a mapping to guide you through this episode’s construct:
JJ and his Substrates - Submarining
Magazine reviews
It Seems So Right, It’s Wro-ho-ong - The Effeminate Xylophonists

Sam Jones - Hero
An enthused reading of a poem entitled ‘Onion’ ends in… yes, you’ve guessed it: tears. Literally, in fact, as our host has an accident of the wet, lukewarm and gold variety.
Ron, Pamela and Betty in conjunction with the Whetstone Amateur Melodramatic Society - Neighbourhood Watchdogs
The joy of looking in bins
Dean - How Do You Make Money?
