Do the left understand values?
Do the left understand values? Nov 7, 2025 1:14:06 This is a classic Sounding Board episode. Even if we do say so ourselves… We always strive to produce original content and original thoughts.

The Forgotten Episode
The Forgotten Episode Jan 5, 2025 1:26:40 We forgot about this one. We recorded this before Christmas and because we were busy and, well, we’re blokes, we carried on with our lives and thought not one iota about it. Until just now.
