Show Notes
Maybe it’s the post-tour blues, maybe it’s reaching 100 episodes or maybe it’s just the spirit of Christmas… Whatever the reason, Gav and James bare their souls in an unusually personal pod, to tackle the highs and lows of their festive tour and the achievement of reaching the pod milestone.

You might see yourself as a bit of a festival veteran because you’ve managed an impressive four events this summer but today’s guest calls that tally “July”.
