DwarfCast 170 – The Smegazine Rack – Issue #11
February 15, 2024 11:58 - 1 hour - 110 MB"There's two scythes to every story." In this very exciting instalment of our journey through all things Smegazine, Cappsy, Danny and Ian are joined by two very special guests - Chris Barrie's nipples. Listen along as the five of us discuss neural networks, yuppies, Kochanski's giant forehead, Norman Wisdom's popularity in Albania, whether or not Back To Reality was actually any good, and how The Inquisitor is accidentally responsible for the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. It's best to have th...
DwarfCast 169 – Christmas Wafflemen Special
December 23, 2023 16:28 - 51 minutes - 46.8 MB"If it wasn't shit, it would be perfect." We thought we ought to do something slightly out of the ordinary for our landmark 169th episode, so here's two specials in one - it's time for some Christmas Waffles. Once again our lovely listeners slash readers provided us with a veritable smorgasbord of tasty topics, which we gobbled up whilst writing fan-fiction about the ship's Secret Santa, sharing our ultimate Red Dwarf Christmas wishes, pondering the best box sets of all time, weighing up th...
DwarfCast 168 – Re-Disc-overy: Series V
December 19, 2023 17:16 - 2 hours - 127 MB"Disgustingly Northern" As we continue our series revisiting the now decades-old DVD releases, the main thing we re-disc-over this time out is that Series V tempts us down conversational side roads like nothing else. So join Cappsy, Danny and Ian as we discuss Juliet May's short-lived tenure as director, attempt to get to the bottom of conflicting stories about Red Dwarf USA, and uncover more examples of institutional racism within the Metropolitan Police. We also speculate as to what the v...
DwarfCast 167 – The Smegazine Rack – Issue #10
November 23, 2023 10:08 - 2 hours - 120 MB"Magnum Ed Bye" It's been far too long, but we are finally back on the Rack to continue our odyssey through the wonderous world of early 90s publishing. Join Cappsy, Danny and Ian as we take a deep dive into the epic Jake Bullet story that graces the cover, welcome another legendary Red Dwarf fan writer to the fold, marvel at the versatility of Chris Barrie's face, discover an obscure sci-fi writer that none of us have heard of, and attempt to figure out why a parody of Red Dwarf USA bears ...
DwarfCast 166 – Re-Disc-overy: Series IV
October 06, 2023 13:57 - 2 hours - 118 MB"Ribs and Pipes and Penises (oh my!)" Our voyage of re-disc-overy continues, as we tackle a most unusual release; the one that was out in the US before the UK, and that Young Cappsy managed to review before Young Ian for once. We rake over this bitterness as well as embarking on not one, not two, but three commentaries, forgoing the tradition of focusing on one big extra in favour of covering a handful of little bitty ones, the regular features that would otherwise be glossed over. Once aga...
DwarfCast 165 – Father of Dwarf: Son of Cliché at 40
August 23, 2023 08:45 - 76.7 MB"Doctor Fitzwilliam: Village Rectologist" At 6:30pm on Tuesday 23rd August 1983, unsuspecting Radio 4 listeners were ambushed by the very first episode of a seminal new sketch show. Featuring a hugely talented cast, performing the work of two writers who were on the fast track to greatness, it was notable not only for its inherent quality, but for what it would eventually spawn. The programme was, of course, Son of Cliché, without which this podcast would not exist. So in a break from the u...
DwarfCast 164 – The Smegazine Rack – Issue #9
July 25, 2023 14:32 - 2 hours - 146 MB"The Manly Adventures of Buff Squidward" Rejoice, for our journey through the Smegazine archives continues with quite possibly the best issue yet. The first ever Duane Dibbley comeback! Tonnes of dirt on Red Dwarf USA! Loads of exciting news, some of which actually ended up happening! Some tedious prose pieces to keep us all grounded! Plus, we think we've uncovered the first published work of an acclaimed comics writer and Red Dwarf fan. All this and more, in far too much detail even by our...
DwarfCast 163 – Re-Disc-overy: Series III
June 19, 2023 10:03 - 118 MB"The Gall of Gary Barlow" The third Red Dwarf DVD was released twenty years ago this November. It's time for another voyage of re-disc-overy, as we cast our minds back to a time of the online retail wild west, blossoming friendships and intense fansite rivalry. Although in practice, we probably spend more time reminiscing about our early Dimension Jump experiences than anything else, thanks to the choice of extra to receive the commentary treatment this time round, Hattie's DJ Diary. The su...
DwarfCast 162 – The Smegazine Rack – Issue #8
May 14, 2023 14:20 - 2 hours - 129 MB"The fascist junta of the potato people" Back in the distant mists of time, when Ian first dreamt up the idea of getting Danny and I to read through all the Smegazines and record a podcast series about it, no doubt issues like this were front and centre of his mind. Historically significant pieces on ancient DJs? Check. Some hot Wraggy action? Check. Potatits? You bet ya. *gestures vaguely at insane original comic strips*? Uh-huh. Needless to say, this was a fun one. Show notes Danny's b...
DwarfCast 161 – Re-Disc-overy: Series 2
April 14, 2023 13:36 - 2 hours - 114 MB"Could you make Patrick Stewart come in the middle of my television programme, please?" The second Red Dwarf DVD was released twenty years ago (as of a month and a half ago). Any bets as to whether we can get the next one done before this November? Back in early 2003 we had barely had chance to watch the first DVD more than two or three thousand times before another release was thrust into our sweaty palms. As is expected, the Series 2 DVD was very closely related to the first so you'd be ...
DwarfCast 160 – Rob Grant Interview
March 21, 2023 15:24 - 56 minutes - 52.1 MB"I've got a lot of Red Dwarf to give." Well then, this is a little bit special. Fresh from the fantastic news that the Red Dwarf legal kerfuffle is officially resolved, we speak exclusively to Rob Grant himself - the co-creator of the programme, who's now returning to the franchise after an absence of close to 30 years. We found out exactly what the legal resolution means for the future of the show, got clarification on the new status quo for Rob and Doug, discovered what new projects are b...
DwarfCast 159 – The Smegazine Rack – Issue #7
March 12, 2023 21:30 - 2 hours - 130 MB"Let wideons be wideons" Ian Symes, Jonathan Capps and Daniel Stephenson are delighted to announce that the ongoing DwarfCast hiatus has been resolved. Moving onwards and upwards, Ian, Cappsy and Danny hope to launch many iterations of DwarfCasts covering various media, working again with Jimmy Nail and other valued partners, and wish each other the very best. Smoke a kipper, DwarfCasts will eat all your kippers!! Show notes A collection of 1970s tumble dryers. We couldn't find the cli...
DwarfCast 158 – Seb Patrick’s 40th
November 30, 2022 08:20 - 57 minutes - 54.5 MBThis is a most unusual DwarfCast following a most unusual weekend for your intrepid G&T team. The three of us gathered together in the same place for this first and only time this year, and that place was Liverpool. The reason? Seb Patrick's 40th birthday, and we weren't going to let the small detail that he himself has passed on stop us from celebrating. We wanted to share the festivities with some of the people who knew Seb, be they friends, family or just those who knew him through his w...
DwarfCast 157 – Re-Disc-overy: Series 1
November 04, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 122 MBThe first Red Dwarf DVD was released twenty years ago today. Yes, we regret to inform you that you're old. The fourth of November 2002 is a date indelibly printed on the brains of fans who spent months being teased and tantalised into a frenzy. Kids today with your YouTubes and your Netflixes and your Ministry of Sound may not appreciate just how big of a deal it was for Dwarf to join the digital revolution in such a wholehearted way, so gather round and listen to your Uncles Cappsy, Danny a...
DwarfCast 156 – The Smegazine Rack – Issue #6
October 28, 2022 16:52 - 2 hours - 124 MBHello hello and welcome back onto the rack. In a shock twist that even we didn't expect, we've actually come good on our promise to start up our regular DwarfCasting routine again. This time Cappsy, Danny and Ian are going page by page through Issue 6 of the Smegazine, which gives them plenty of opportunity to be all smug and self regarding about those early 90s idiots and their casual ableism and homophobia. Hurrah!
DwarfCast 155 – Red Dwarf USA Pilots – Commentary
October 05, 2022 15:01 - 2 hours - 121 MBIn my own personal and humble opinion, Red Dwarf fans are very lucky to have something like the US pilots. The mystery and excitement of them during the 90s and the black market in increasingly terrible copies are a defining part of many of our fandoms. Despite the fact we've still been unable to source a decent quality copy of either pilots, the time has come for Ian, Danny and Cappsy to commentate on these pilots 30 years after they were ill-conceived. Show notes Pilot #1. Pilot #2. Wi...
DwarfCast 154 – The Smegazine Rack – Issue #5
September 07, 2022 17:11 - 1 hour - 112 MBSurprise! We didn't plan to have a summer break, but a summer break we indeed have had in order to recharge our batteries and hide from the dreaded Burnout Monster. We've got a bit of editing catchup to do, though, so we're breaking with tradition and giving you another Smegazine Rack today while editing on the Red Dwarf USA episode is finished (well, started). Grab your complementary copy of the mag here. Show notes Danny's much stolen 'Smegopoly' board. We can confirm that Rob Grant *d...
DwarfCast 153 – The Smegazine Rack – Issue #4
May 23, 2022 10:27 - 1 hour - 105 MBIt seems a lot has happened since our last episode of The Smegazine Rack. We've launched and re-launched our incredibly original game Smegle and... well, that's about all that has happened, hasn't it? Yes, yes, definitely. Anyway please join your incompetent (by design) hosts, Ian, Danny and Cappsy as they climb up into the cab, fire up the slumbering beast and crack on... with the job of reading through every episode of the Smegazine. Show notes Danny's mysterious co-star revealed.
DwarfCast 152 – Robot Wars – Commentary
April 28, 2022 12:10 - 2 hours - 129 MBIf you're reading this then there's a decent chance that at some point in your childhood or early adulthood you sat down on a Friday night and enjoyed the feast of mechanical violence that was Robot Wars. For older Millennials and young Gen Xers watching this show went hand in hand with being a Red Dwarf fan, not least because the host was, from series 2 onwards, Craig Charles himself. And it's for that reason Robot Wars qualifies for our series of 'Dwarf-adjacent' commentaries as we seize w...
DwarfCast 151 – The Smegazine Rack – Issue #3
March 24, 2022 16:34 - 2 hours - 114 MBCome, rest your tired ears on our giant rack. As sure as 2 follows 1, so it is that 3 follows 2 and Ian, Danny and Cappsy have a good read of the third Smegazine issue. Also featured: Badge talk! The End end! Danny vs Cappsy quiz! Caption competition results! Letters! Slander! Show notes Why the Cat's introduction frame in the comic strip is a Tory. Cappsy mentions a video of a cat spooning food into its mouth. Here is said TikTok video, reposted onto Twitter for the benefit old people. ...
DwarfCast 150 – Wafflemen Special #3: A Catsworth of Toast
February 27, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 73.3 MBIn a small break from our regularly scheduled programming (and while we figure out what commentary we want to do next) we've put together another tottering stack of waffles for you you cram into your eager maws. Just how much of this episode is devoted to talking about cats? Who will Danny impersonate this time? Will Cappsy be hearing from the RSPCA's lawyers? Find out! Show notes Advert for Flying Horse energy drink which explores the physics of cat / toast interactions. The safest way t...
DwarfCast 149 – The Smegazine Rack – Issue #2
February 15, 2022 13:59 - 1 hourIt's time to get back on the rack (get used to that one, because we might have to use it every episode) as Ian, Cappsy and Danny continue trawling through the sticky pages of the Smegazine and, as tradition dictates, Issue #2 follows Issue #1... so here we are. Before you press play, be sure to have the issue in front of you in your PDF viewer of choice so you at least have a slight chance of knowing what the actual balls we're talking about. Show notes Three Wolf Moon The Reconstructed ...
DwarfCast 148 – Blackadder the Third: Nob and Nobility – Commentary
February 02, 2022 13:14 - 1 hour - 94.6 MBCarrotists assemble, for it is time to travel back to the time of violent revolution, flamboyant trousers, Le Pimpernel Scarlet and *very* suspicious sausages as DwarfCasts continue its series of 'Dwarf adjacent commentaries' with the classic episode of Blackadder the Third, Nob and Nobility. We also take the opportunity to talk at length about our love for the show while answering your Bladder specific waffles. Show notes Behind the scenes footage of the Blackadder Goes Forth rehearsals. ...
DwarfCast 147 – The Smegazine Rack – Issue #1
January 14, 2022 18:22 - 1 hour - 99.8 MBOk everyone, put on your baseball caps on backwards, wear clashing colours, like Morrisey, 'pop' an 'e', sing 'Barcelona', be surprised at Denmark winning the Euros, experience the same dates on the same days as you will in 2020 and correctly believe Sonic to be superior to Mario because we're going back to 1992! In the first of what will be... *checks*... a lot of fucking DwarfCasts we're going through every issue of the Smegazine one by one, until we be done. Ian's read them all exhaustive...
DwarfCast 146 – The Young Ones: Interesting – Commentary
November 23, 2021 11:56 - 1 hour - 86.2 MBOnce in every lifetime, Comes a 'Cast like this, Oh, we need you and you need us, Oh my darlings can't you watch The Young Ones along with us after the pips and then stick around afterwards for a suitably themed Waffle Men? Show notes Adam Buxton's ramble chat with Charlie Brooker Alexei Sayle's Imaginary Sandwich Bar Man ejaculated out of anus and urinated faeces for two years. More at 10. The Two Ninnies CORRECTION: Smith and Jones were in the first series proper of Not The Nine O'Cl...
DwarfCast 145 – Book Club #16: Backwards (Part Five)
October 22, 2021 17:13 - 1 hour - 102 MBIT. IS. DONE. 3 men, 4 Books and 16 episodes in just under 16 months. Our series of DwarfCast Book Club finally draws to a close as Ian, Cappsy and Danny wrap up Backwards, with our thoughts on High Midnight and The Difference II. Was Ace's death tossed off too quickly? What noise do popping bones make? Did Rob Grant go too far this time? Find out within! Show notes Take a look at this SCSI socket: Rick and Morty fucking off to another dimension (multiple times) The Waco massacre, three...
DwarfCast 144 – Wafflemen Special #2: Electric Waffleoo
October 08, 2021 16:55 - 1 hour - 74.6 MBIt's waffle time! Again! That's right, to mark the occasion of the whole G&T trio being in the same room for the first time since that spiky red cunt fucked everything up for everyone, we thought we'd have another stab at a Wafflemen Special, since the last one seemed to go surprisingly well. So, join the slightly giddy and tipsy Danny, Cappsy and Ian as they heave their enormous, waddling frames in front of the microphone to discuss all the things you see in the banner, AND MORE.
DwarfCast 143 – Book Club #15: Backwards (Part Four)
September 21, 2021 18:57 - 1 hour - 101 MBIt's been a little while coming, but please take your seats, grab a coffee and arrange your notes because the book club is back and we have a lot of... interesting material to cover. Join a crossed legged Ian, Cappsy and Danny as they wince their way through what is undoubtedly the moment that Rob Grant's Backwards takes a bit of of a turn to the sadistic. But never fear, because Ace also makes his triumphant return, thus signalling that everything will be absolutely fine. Right? Show notes...
DwarfCast 142 – Dimension Jump XXI Special
September 17, 2021 12:24 - 1 hour - 100 MBFor the first time in far, far too long, a small army of Red Dwarf fans laid siege to the Nottingham Crown Plaza last weekend. We called it Dimension Jump XXI, and the last survivors converged on Sunday night to see what they could remember under the glare of our microphone. So join Ian Symes, Fan Club team members Andy Holland, Dan "Pendo" Pendleton and Shelley Smith, plus attendees Dave Billingsley, Si Bromley, Stephen Fletcher, Peter Jones and Jo Sharples as we run through such diverse to...
DwarfCast 141 – Wafflemen Special #1: Maturity, Memories and Moore
August 15, 2021 16:23 - 1 hour - 76.9 MBLiterally no one asked for it, but yet here we are anyway - a whole podcast devoted to Wafflemen, our regular segment from the commentary episodes in which talk about whatever Dwarfy topic you, the listener, so desires. So, join Cappsy, Danny and Ian as they desperately search for something we can cancel Red Dwarf for, finally settle on whether it was Rob or Doug who was the real funny one and generally just, well, waffle on. Show notes Discussion of Ace Rimmer's gay panic Cappsy being an...
DwarfCast 140 – Book Club #14: Backwards (Part Three)
July 30, 2021 12:48 - 1 hour - 85.1 MBWhat's that now? You wanted more backwards stuff in your Backwards novel? Well, have we got the DwarfCast for you! Yes, whether you like it or not, in this episode Cappsy, Ian and Danny go Back to Backworld one last time as Rob Grant forces us to consider the reverse logistics of, let's say, a few too many bodily functions. Thanks Rob. Show notes Cappsy was about a decade out with his timeline of the Star Wars defence system Mitchell and Webb's Rebecca parody The tits and arses of the Cz...
DwarfCast 139 – The Promised Land Commentary
July 21, 2021 18:04 - 1 hour - 110 MBIT. IS. DONE. I feel like we've been going on about milestones quite a lot recently, but to add to our previous BBC-era accomplishment we have now finally recorded a commentary for every single extant episode of TV Red Dwarf! Whether or not this ends up being the last ever remains to be seen, but let's hope we'll be returning to our longest running feature sooner rather than never. Before that, though, join Ian, Danny and Cappsy in this feature length commentary of the Dave era's finest, Th...
DwarfCast 138 – Book Club #13: Backwards (Part Two)
July 02, 2021 14:09 - 1 hour - 175 MBYes, I'm sorry, I know we asked you to smoke us some kippers and I realise that we gave you a very specific idea about the sort of time you'd expect us back, but sometimes these things take a little longer than expected, ok? The kippers will be fine, we'll have them cold in some kedgeree or something. Please, stop crying. Yes, that's right, your three favourite ace holes have returned with the next instalment of the DwarfCast Book Club, which this time is all about part 2 of Backwards, Smok...
DwarfCast 137 – Skipper Commentary
June 11, 2021 11:38 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBAnother day, another DwarfCast milestone as we have finally completed our commentaries on all traditionally lengthed Red Dwarf episodes, marking an end to a series of casts going back to 2006. Unless Series XIII comes along, of course. Also, we're going to do The Promised Land in a few weeks. And we'll likely revisit some old episodes if we feel like it. But still. Anyway, join Ian, Cappsy and Danny as they jump between dimensions to see if they can find a reality in which Doug remembers he...
DwarfCast 136 – Book Club #12: Backwards (Part One)
May 29, 2021 20:09 - 1 hour - 105 MBWelcome to another episode of the Bulc Koob TsacFrawd! It feels like a very, very long time ago that we finished Better than Life but finally we're getting to its sequel! Er, again. Because when it comes to Red Dwarf, sensible continuity is just something that happens to other franchises. So, join Ian Symes, Danny Stephenson and Jonathan Capps as they start their journey into the weird and wonderful world of Rob Grant's Backwards, because All Good Boys Deserve Fatuous opinions of twats. Sho...
DwarfCast 135 – M-Corp Commentary
May 17, 2021 19:11 - 1 hour - 67.4 MBWe continue our triumphant victory lap of commentaries as we mop up the last few episodes with M-Corp, officially the second best episode of Series XII and a solid favourite of the site in general. Join Cappsy, Ian and Danny as they hope against hope that they haven't got their microphones mixed up with something entirely less savoury.
DwarfCast 134 – Book Club #11: Last Human (Part Four)
May 03, 2021 17:07 - 1 hour - 104 MBWell, it's been quite a journey but we're finally here: Last Human is finished. I don't think we realised when we started this endeavour just how interesting the revisiting of Doug's solo novel would be, but I think we've all come out of the other side a little wiser and a lot more weary of acronyms. So, join the last human alive Ian Symes, mankind's final hope Danny Stephenson and the universe's one remaining broccoli farmer Jonathan Capps as they discuss the second half of The Rage and ref...
DwarfCast 133 – Mechocracy Commentary

And in the tradition of all good election coverage, we will now force you to listen to some terrible people talk about the results for longer than is strictly necessary, specifically the Right Honourable Cunts of the Scottish NatIanal, Liberal Dannycrats and The Labour & Cappsoperative parties. Show notes Cappsy meant to say "The Next Doctor" instead of "The Two Doctors...
DwarfCast 132 – Book Club #10: Last Human (Part Three)
April 09, 2021 19:20 - 1 hour - 97.5 MBAnd so the DwarfCast Book Club advances wearily on, as we continue our re-read (although the failing memories of your hosts means this may as well be a first read) of Doug Naylor's literally seminal novel, Last Human. We're in the final part of the book itself but due to reasons beyond our comprehension it accounts for half of its length so we're splitting it in twain. Join Cappsy, Ian and Danny as they gather round a table at Rita's Kabin and try to figure out what the bloody hell is going ...
DwarfCast 131 – Timewave Commentary
March 26, 2021 17:44 - 1 hour - 71.2 MBOver Ganymede & Titan's long and illustrious life we have seen many milestones. 3 years long service. 6 years long service. 9 years long service. 12 years long service. 15 years long service... 18 years long service. But today we mark the day we officially commentate on the last truly shit episode of Red Dwarf (so far). Its loomed large over us for months as we approached but three heroes have arrived and slew the great beast, probably with some amusingly juxtapositioned song playing in the ...

March 12, 2021 12:41 - 1 hour - 82.2 MB[Insert Holly line relevant to a delayed thing eventually happening here] Yes, it's finally here! Danny, Ian and Cappsy once again put on their best dust jackets, turn on their pink study lamps and somehow defy the laws of gravity to bring you another DwarfCast Book Club! This time around we're putting the chapter Time Fork to bed (but not before marrying it first) as the crew unwittingly murder hundreds in order to free a dangerous psychopath, and Anton Chekhov becomes the sixth Dwarfer. ...
DwarfCast 129 – Purple Alert: Gloop, Hop and Legality
February 24, 2021 15:02 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBWell, I suppose we better talk about what's been going on shouldn't we? As you no doubt know, the world of Red Dwarf has been a busy old place this February with both good and bad news, so we've gathered an emergency council to discuss the recent GNP turmoil, the Fan Club's inaugural (and triumphant) Holly Hop event and Rob Grant's new script, Into the Gloop.
DwarfCast 128 – Siliconia Commentary
February 15, 2021 12:25 - 1 hour - 66.7 MBThere is a new DwarfCast update! Would you like to install now, in 10 minutes' time or now? Show notes Past Echoes: Ian's musings on Red Dwarf and technology. Since recording, Dave have started repeating Red Dwarf every Friday night. Which kind of proves our point. We tried to find out why Back To Earth isn't available on demand, and to be honest we're now even more confused. We've spoken to Mac and confirmed that he wasn't in Star Wars, despite what IMDB will have you believe. However, ...

So, join Cappsy, Danny and Ian as they delve into the omnizone shambles, show you their appendectomy scars and publicly copulate in a marketplace. Show notes Brian Blessed biting through an umbilical cord...
DwarfCast 126 – Cured Commentary
January 22, 2021 15:33 - 1 hour - 61.6 MBAs we sit here and hope beyond hope that 2021 will bear as little resemblance to 2020 as humanly possible, here at G&T we're looking to replicate at least one element from the last 12 months: lots of regular DwarfCasts. Whether you think this is a good thing or not is entirely another matter, but never-the-less Ian, Danny and Cappsy have once again gathered to power through the commentaries for Dave Dwarf with Series XII, episode 1, Cured. Show notes "Starring Arnold Rimmer as Barrie" Kri...
DwarfCast 125 – Book Club #7: Better Than Life (Part Four)
December 24, 2020 15:24 - 1 hour - 78.3 MBWe did it, everyone. Almost an entire year of consistent podcasting and all it took was a global pandemic and stay at home orders to make it happen. I even bought a proper microphone. So, in a very nice accident of timing, we are rounding out the year with our final book club for Better Than Life, Part 4: The End and After. Danny, Ian and Cappsy gather round the virtual yule log to discuss the shit out of 12 whole pages, before fully embracing the Christmas cheer with some truly awful parsni...
DwarfCast 124 – Can of Worms Commentary
December 18, 2020 13:29 - 1 hour - 70.5 MBIt's time for our DwarfCast commentary for the final episode of Red Dwarf XI, Bag of Shite: Polymorph 3. So, before I open the particular can of worms of what we thought about this episode a little too much, please go and listen and find out for your selves what our general feelings towards this episode 4 years after its initial broadcast are. As ever the sentient soundwaves that make up Ian, Cappsy and Danny are present as we put series XI to bed, while digging into their own tasty bedtime ...
DwarfCast 123 – Book Club #6: Better Than Life (Part Three)
December 09, 2020 14:04 - 1 hour - 98.4 MBI know we said we'd be back soon but just count yourself lucky we only made you wait an extra week and not almost 40 years. As we get very close to finishing Better Than Life, join the pale, waxy figures of Cappsy, Danny and Ian as they enter The Book Club Time and are after feasting on Part Three: Garbage World. What are the long term narrative implications of Garbage World? Is Polymorph a show to book conversion too far? What could possibly be next for the poor giraffe? For those of you no...
DwarfCast 122 – Krysis Commentary
November 20, 2020 12:59 - 1 hour - 83.5 MBIt's time for a new DwarfCast so grab the keys to your new sports car, leave your partner for someone younger, buy a new wardrobe of designer clothes, spend too much money on sunglasses, trade in your sports car for a motorbike, give an unsolicited shoulder massage to an acquaintance, tell everyone about your eclectic music taste, retweet Emma Kennedy, get a tribal tattoo, have your bits pierced, be a sex tourist in East Asia, trade in your motorbike for a different sports car, stick a deck ...

Join the emaciated husks of Danny, Ian and Cappsy as they tackle Better Than Life Part Two: She Rides and discuss the first ever instance of the show stealing from the books as well as the very meaning of relative time dilation in an amazingly compressed space. And giraffes.
