About this listen

It's Friday and we all know what that means. We get to scratch that fact based itch with Gill and Pete's weekly dose of fact medicine.

This week they discuss smelling impending rain and how long having the hiccups for is slightly too long.

Gill also shares the debate of why pirates seemingly all wear Eye patches and tells us of the ridiculous early name of Melbourne, Australia.

Pete finally breaks the news of how lovely, neutral Switzerland was actually the aggressor on a few accidental occasions in world Geopolitics.

Finally, the big news of the week... Is Derren Brown after Pete's job?
