This week Ed is in a freestyle rapping mood and is not in any way talking about the political election between two very old white men across the pond.

Also there is a rap exclusive from MC Fishyman about babies.

A spooky special as Ed explains the origins of Halloween but not before discussing the merits of The Karate Kid and it's similarities with a certain space saga.
