GHOSTS, WITCHES, CLOWNS, BEARS as well as the HUMAN BEAN - we've got it all this week, as we descend deep into hell for this final episode of Book 7.

But if we're going, we're going in style: dinner - yes, kissing - check, chit chat with other worldly spirits - absolutely. So dry your tears, put your toys back in the pram, grab a bowl of jelly and join Will, Steve and the actual devil to say sayon...

It is rumoured that Shakira wrote her global smash hit single after being inspired by a perfect bowl of oats. The, now infamous, story goes that Shakira was so moved by the oats that she demanded a harp was bought to the table so she could express her joy and appreciation through music. Upon completion of the song; she triumphantly held her bowl of half eaten oats aloft and announced to the stars, "Don't you see, baby, this is perfection?!" Absolutely none of that is true. How and why does this ...

It's an age old question: How many dogs would a good dog dog if a good dog could dog dogs? Is 5 dogs the right answer? 50? Would 5000 dogs be a good number of dogs to involve? Tolstoy wasn't afraid of asking the hard questions, and neither are we. So down a pint of your best brandy, rename your favourite horse and join us this week as we go on the hunt for answers to some of the world's most pressing and urgent questions. /// patreon.com/wapin7 - Strum into action and support the podcast! wapin7...

Prince Andy is on the hunt for happiness but in order to find it he simply must experience ambivalence, nihilism and straight up un happiness first. This episode is sort of like a football match. But instead of two teams playing football, it's actually happiness and sadness sort of fighting each other. The winner gets to be the king of all football... Yeah, it's not really like that at all actually. Maybe we should leave the writing to Tolstoy. /// patreon.com/wapin7 - Spring into action and sup...

We've been to soirees, parties, even a casual ball or five during our time with War and Peace. We've watched as The King of Sauce set the dance floor on fire, we've seen kids doing backflips to impress other kids, we've applauded out of fear and amazement as the Blunt Dragon devoured people whole. Truly we thought we'd seen everything that high society Russia had to offer. Little did we know that there was another type of ball. A bigger ball. A better ball.

Some marry for love. Some marry for a protracted negotiation around dowry payments, up front deposits, cash incentives and share options. Some choose not to marry because they don't love someone. Some choose not to marry because the dowry payments, up front deposits, cash incentives and share options aren't optimal in the current economic climate and the return on investment will be suboptimal. * Cue Succession Theme /// patreon.com/wapin7 - Spring into action and support the podcast! wapin7.com...
