THE WANTS A WORD WINTER WARMER 2016!

Season's Greetings, Wantsaworders! Ian and Kev are BACK with a SACK filled with BRAND NEW poddy moments! Also featuring - Del Strain! And possibly some Xmas Tech detail with some guy. He's probably not much cop to be completely honest. But he was cheap and available. Twitter! @iancollinsuk and @sideshow_kev See you in 2017!

Episode 126 - WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS

Ian and Kev get up to date with your feedback and a bunch of other stuff. So there are questions and things, plus an in-depth study on the nature of fame, as the lads dig up an old TV fossil to give him a bit of a dusting off. Which he'd probably quite enjoy.

Episode 124 - CELEBRITY DEATHWATCH

Been a heck of a year, hasn't it? What with all these famous folk exiting the planet in seemingly huge numbers. So, to catch up on things, the lads pay tribute to the fallen, in what we'd like to describe as a "touching, thoughtful" episode, but what is in reality the usual abject nonsense - only this time, about corpses, really. With some corpsing at the end. Twitter! @iancollinsuk and @sideshow_kev

Episode 123 - A WORD IN YOUR HOLE

It's a brand new era for WANTS A WORD! Back fortnightly with a fresh lick of paint and a renewed enthusiasm for all things nonsensical! That, and swearing.
