Hey guys,
Just advance notice that we are going to do a special episode with some mystery guest hosts in early March and for that we will be discussing the Guru themed 2012 movie 'The Master'. We will record in the first week of March so if you want to play along would be good to watch before then!

Hi everyone,
Told you we would get it out next!
This episode was a welcome relief after the last few episodes and I’m sure you will see that reflected in our charity.
I’ve seen some people hoping that this would be a takedown of Bob based on his current ‘cognitive empathy’ stances towards Putin &...

Just a note to say that one of my niggling 'need to sort this out' threads relates to the Galaxy Brain Bonus feed. I know it is a few episodes behind and we don't have a great pipeline at the minute for getting the raw content edited and up on the feed.

Hi Guys,
I think some of you might enjoy this despite the notable absence of one Matthew Smith.
I had a good time talking with Meghan and I am glad she was willing to have the conversation given her social network and interests.

I'm sure you have all seen by now but the newest episode was released after marathon editing sessions by Matt.
