    Episode 83. "Tom's Packed Schedule"
    Nov 4 2025
    Hello there Dearest listener, UWP Officianado and potential Patron It's hard to describe to you just how packed Tom's schedule has been this week, so it's a miracle we've managed to snare him for this weeks episode, don't take my word for it, he'll tell all on the Ep. We also blow the lid of a massive potential and at this point mercifully, utterly hypothetical product recall on all Huel drinks. Although like all the best science fiction, these things are only a few clicks away from reality. And we have a spectacular DOUBLE pant cage review from our man in the field Alan Lunt.
