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?

Yet another Friday Festival of Facts with Gill and Pete.

This week they look at how random members of the public treat a performance artist, how the justice system worked or indeed did not work in medieval times and Pete tells us of the popular sport known as "Extreme Ironing".

Gill tells us of 4 incredible women from history including Maria Teresa de Filippis, Caresse Crosby, Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt.

During the chat there are also deep debates regarding topless men in the sunshine, wearing flip flops away from the beach and what you could do while you wait for a warm dessert to go cold...

It's Friday so that means only one thing... More Facts from Gill and Pete!!

This week they are still mid-Pope hangover and share a few more facts related to the late Pope Francis and the Papacy.

Gill tells us a story literally about the word "story". Pete tells us about how jazz and organised crime enjoyed a syncopated symbiosis.

We also learn that it might be worth training your cat to use a phone because you never know when it could save your life.

But for now we are off to try and get our hands on some of Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup...

Thanks for the heads up, Gill!

The episode was recorded BEFORE the election of Pope Leo XIV...
