Cheerful Despair take you on a journey across time and space to celebrate New Year 2018 from the comfort of August 2019. Wow!

This time on Britain's 37th best comedy podcast*:

• The Brigadoon extended universe
• "Vaseline - For a Frictionless Kitchen"
• Tom Hanks in rhyming-slang biohorror shock

Plus!

• Only five sixths of a cross quiz (sorry)
• But fifteen tenths of a debate bag (hooray!)

*Technically true as of 14th July 2019 according to Apple Podcasts - we've got screenshots so you can't take that away from us Apple, even if it was just a terrible mistake

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
