Bitter Sweet Batteries

The people have spoken! Today we're finally discussing the result of our poll, where we asked you lot who's more likely to die first: Luke or Pete. Shockingly, it isn’t all bad for Donaldson! Following that, Luke loses his head at Thames Water, which leads to him making quite a blasphemous claim about batteries and we read an email which uncovers quite an unusual subculture: Richard Ashcroft super fans...

How many new players?

Pete’s doing the show from his parent’s house, yet it’s actually Luke that spends the first half of the show uncovering all his childhood trauma.

How pickled are your onions?

Luke’s weekend was RUINED by under-pickled pink pickled onions. Naturally, he didn’t make a big deal out of it on today’s show or anything… Once that's dealt with, we read an email about a farmer who had quite an astonishing reaction to a hot air balloon landing in his field.

Fingers Against the Machine

It's been a brilliant week for The Luke and Pete Show: Stak won two awards at the British Podcast Awards, the wife Luke has access to graduated from the University of Cambridge and a chess-playing robot broke a 7-year-old's finger. But rather than spending too long worried about that, Luke and Pete spent quite a lot of time working out an idea for the next hard-hitting police TV drama. It's all good stuff.
