Another week, another wine! And this time it's back to California for a Zinfandel courtesy of Three Finger Jack (prospecting not required).

This week Vigljos are touring Botswana, there's drunken children stumbling around France in 1981, Bryn and Jaff have an uncharacteristically serious conversation about the challenges facing music venues across the UK......and Jaff goes full Bruce Forsyth as he brings a game for Bryn to try his hand at!

It's been another stellar week for music releases, including two solo French projects that are contenders for album of the month!!

This week Jaff has pulled an absolute blinder with his wine choice, opting for a Cabernet Sauvignon from Verona in northern Italy.

Gimp suits, Megadeth, James Hetfield's tricky guitar playing and the best Doctor Dave you could ever ask for.....there's all this and plenty more in store for you this week.

On the release front, Jaff brings all the heavy this week, whilst Bryn basks in crust....January is throwing some absolute gems!

After a shaky, snowy start to the year, Bryn and Jaff are back!! They're kicking off 2026 with a truly artistic bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from California....and Bryn brings a fancy new piece of wine tech to elevate their drinking experience!!

You'll hear about Mozart's love of arses, Ozzy's new autobiography, the first Damnation announcement of 2026.....and there's a throwback to the infamous Italy episode!

And on top of all that, there's been some exceptional releases already this year......especially for the black metal fans out there!!
