About this listen

Mike sends in a voice note with some juicy behind-the-scenes insight from the TV show, after the recording was interrupted by the breaking Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor news. The team then discuss the strange, snail-related tax-avoidance scheme spreading across London (slowly) and play Emerald’s latest game, ‘Tax Avoidance or a Load of Pants?’

Later, Queenie takes the team through the story of a teacher in Germany who took a year off sick to appear on two TV cooking shows and Jack covers AI models resisting shutdown and wrongly prompting police to apprehend children over bags of crisps.

In the Missing Words round, they learn about civil servants who want to sponsor mice, Bob Geldof’s regrets and the study that separates men and women on their punctuation…!
