S10E8. Let Them Eat Horse! 27.01.2026 1ώ 6λ

We're going full blown horse this week, with horse after glorious horse being named quicker than you can say "My Name Is Horse". We've got fast ones, slow ones, strong ones and even some invisible ones. It's a veritable horstravaganza and humans are not invited. Well, ok a couple of humans can come, but only if they're with their legally appointed horses and they're willing to let their horses shine (finally). 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Support the show, say Hello, and find th...

S10E7. King of the Peasants 11.12.2025 1ώ 14λ

Indentured peasants, motivated by nothing more than a love of the land and a cripilingly inescapable system of debt and ownership. Poor? Definitely. Stupid? Perhaps. Violent? Only when drunk or angry. But forget what you might have heard about them down at your local gentlemans club, because this week we're joining the unwashed masses to discover first hand what they really think, believe and feel. Who leads them? What do they want? Will they ever be free? 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️...

S10E6. Now You See Me, Nasty Nick Me Not! 26.10.2025 1ώ 5λ

All good things must come to an end - like the weekend, sleeping or a bowl of nice chips. Even bad things must come to an end, like the hokey cokey, January, or a bee attack. This week in War and Peace some things are coming to an end. But are these things good things, or bad things? Or to put it another way, are they a bowl of chips, or an attack by bees, or something in between? Ultimately you must decide. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Support the show, say H...

S10E5. The Tale of Two Circles 08.09.2025 53λ

Circles, glorious circles, no beginning and no end, round as the day is long, perfect as a polished samovar at dawn. But what happens if you take the humble circle and then slightly overlap it with another circle? What then? What might happen? What could you call it? What would it do? Join us this week as we vennture into not one, but two War and Peace circles that risk overlapping at any moment. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Support the show, say Hello, and find the thoroughly diplomat e...

The dust. It's surrounds you. In your eyes, your boots, your soul - everything is dust. Through the dust you see a vision, a vision of your home also covered in dust - the lime trees? Dusty.

S9E10. The Prophecy of Eggbag 07.12.2024 39λ

Pierre's giant red hands quivered as he held aloft the parchment. He read the words again and again and even double checked his addition. There was no mistake. A bead of sweat fell from his forehead and splashed onto his baseball-glove sized hand. He leant back in his chair and began to rock back and forth repeating the same phrase over and over again, "The Prophecy of Eggbag".

Bags. We thought we knew everything there was to know about them. We thought we'd been inside them all.

Designed by Russia's only human pea this bag could change the war, Andy Pandy, maybe even Napolean himself. Would you dare to open it? Would you dare to leave the comfort of your own bag and climb inside this other bag? Join u...
