9. Kate Moss; Poetry; Murdoch and Succession; Dick Van Dyke and Coldplay
Ian Martin and David Quantick tear caustic lumps out of each other and the week's news stories - They're joined this week by novelist and screenwriter, Jenny Colgan.
This week Ian takes aim at the 'poetry' that's become ubiquitous on railways station whiteboards, Jenny brings up Dick Van Dyke and Coldplay and David gets cross about nearly everything. It really is a sweaty hoot from soup to nuts.

6. Prescott; Manifesting; 40 words for snow: Damian Hirst's genitals; Nit-picking; David Bowie (reprise)
David Quantick and Ian Martin squabble and swear their way through a short list of things that have caught their attention. This week 's guest co-host is Leeds's finest, writer Lisa Holdsworth.
Two self-confessed old men, Quantick and Martin meet online with a brilliant guest. John Prescott died this week, there was a new 'word of the year' announced, an idiot bought a banana for $5 million, it snowed a bit in some places and David gets a chance to tell his David Bowie story again. Ian also gets to tell a story about Damien Hirst's genitals. Now that's variety.
