Flirty Doctor, wooing Vicar, Porcelain Boobs And Staircase Wit. Featuring Beyoncé

About this episode

This episode features discussions on typewriter history, Czech classical music, and a humorous take on a birthday party performance, alongside a quest for collaboration with Beyoncé.

This week: the history of the typewriter, Czech classical music, and we read an extract from a travel diary written in the 18 th century. But if all that sounds a bit too highbrow for you, rest assured that there’s more belching and sexual innuendo, and of course more Le Creuset chat. There’s the tale of the rather weird experience I had, performing at a birthday party. And we make crucial progress in our ongoing quest to broker a collaboration between a Suffolk sea shanty band and Beyoncé.
