I read once about a podcast that vanished without warning. When it suddenly reappeared, almost two years later, everything was fine. No-one had unsubscribed and everyone just kept listening as if nothing had happened. So, you know, maybe something to think about there.

Anyway, this time on Cheerful Despair:

• How is anti-vax Hercules stored in David Candy’s brain?
• Shifty Un-American Owls
• Yesterday, all my plot holes seemed so far away
• “He wasn’t a warrior princess, he was a Korean man”

Plus!

• Cross-Quiz
• Debate Bag
• The muffled sound of three men eating Pappadums
