Hi, Greg here.
Hope you're doing all right.
We are making series three right now.
In the meantime, we've been making these radio four versions of the previous episode.
We are putting them in the feed here permanently.
They will be alongside the long version, so make sure you scroll down and choose which version you want so you can have the shorter, punchier, swear free versions or the long, rambling, sweary versions.
