·44 min·4 clips

Justin Moorhouse reveals his free podcast is stagnating and makes a desperate plea for listeners to spread the word.

Justin Moorhouse opens episode 320 by addressing the podcast's future, explaining they considered a Patreon model but decided to remain free and ad-free. He reveals the podcast is not growing and asks listeners to follow on social media and spread the word. New features are introduced, including a linear Monday-to-Sunday structure and a 'back in time' segment diving into archives. Justin's daughter Izzy joins, discussing her week, including cooking a large sausage roll with Bramley apple sausages for a potluck where friends brought minimal dishes like mash and Doritos. Justin and Mick then review the play 'Shark is Broken', analyzing performances and actor backgrounds, such as Roy Scheider's 'incorruptible' look. Alfie appears in a segment on Super Bowl commercials, highlighting the 'Wazzup' ad and sharing an anecdote about Roy Keane rejecting Robbie Savage over a voicemail. The episode includes a humorous exit interview with 'John', who is being replaced due to being 'too white, too old, too male'. Backstage interviews with comedians Freddie Quinn and Kyle Lucy cover stage performances and controversial material, with Kyle sharing a native Canadian joke that became off-limits after mass grave discoveries. The episode ends with a 'back in time' clip from the first episode in 2013, where Justin describes his office and podcast ethos.
