About this listen
If you got given a baby like in the Truman Show, would you do anything interesting with it?
In this Episode we uncover May Thompson's father figures to understand what makes her dad, a man who is 'only just getting into reading', really tick. We also talk about a monkey who escaped from the zoo and became just another visitor, discuss (in great detail) whether a town of trained apes could raise a baby, and Max accidentally takes an important phone call live on-pod!
About our Guest: May Thompson is a Cornish standup (Machynlleth Comedy Festival) and comedy writer (BBC Radio Wales), she was a finalist in the Cornish Comedian of the Year and co-hosts the Justin Timberthon Podcast, which explores everything in Justin Timberlake's oeuvre. You can find her @maycomedy on Instagram and at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival in May 2026.
