    Mark Maier

    Mark Maier

    Just under two years on from his last show, the slowest working man in showbiz brings the magnificent Mark Maier into a life that he definitely didn't live. Episode 29 takes Mark through a vicious cheese meltdown, onward to a school for gifted parkour leapers and round the corner via a field giving spirited performances to disinterested cows.  All this whilst breaking up with Adele, making jam for Jon Bon Jovi and experiencing a multitude of emotional adventures.  No guest ever sees the questions in advance, they talk only in pure nonsense and lies.  No truth is involved.
    (Many thanks to the amazing Daisy Davidson for creating the lovely original piano backing for a song subsequently ruined by some disturbing vocals)

    Jo Caulfield

    The 28th epic journey into a life not lived sees Steven Davidson joined by the fantabulous Jo Caulfield, whose tear jerking story involves adoption by Paul McCartney, secretly mowing the lawns of stately homes, a highly intelligent donkey and crushing Nigel Farage at tennis.  As always, no guest ever sees the questions in advance...

    Lou Conran

    Episode 27 sees us joined by the marvellous Lou Conran on a magnificent interview journey into an alternative life she did not live and knows nothing about.  Amongst many emotional moments we hear about why Lou lives a mile underground, the reason she ran Bono through with a broadsword, why she lobbed prosecco for the Queen, the traumas of being Hugh Grant's sister and the reasons behind Lou's desire to have her ashes smoked by Kevin Costner.  No guest ever sees the questions in advance...

    Eddy Brimson

    The 26th episode since 2015 from the UK's slowest but best podcaster sees Steven Davidson joined by the tremendous Eddy Brimson on an epic journey back into Eddy's alternative history.   Amongst a cornucopia of fantastical delights, we hear tales of Eddy firing missiles at Dundee, attending an archery school with Mikail Gorbachev, buying a gooseberry farm with Bitcoin, sharing a flat with Tessa Sanderson & Margaret Thatcher and joining the army but only agreeing to fight smaller nations.
