Episode description
So farewell then, 2009. We've had a great time over the last few months and are thrilled to be ending the year with what must be our most thought-provoking episode to date. Film maker Adam Curtis joins us to talk about his latest project, 'It Felt Like a Kiss' and has some brilliant theories on all of Shift Run Stop's favourite subjects: humour, games and the computer age.
Rising star of the internet and Twitter comedy powerhouse Avery Edison shares some of her work so far, and Dave Green is back with his most disappointing snacks of 2009.
Oh and we set you a new competition. It's a good, geeky one, we think you'll like it. Happy New Year!
