30. Christmas Special: The Young Tsar
Vigorously boil your eggnog, put a mince pie in EACH hand, and get ready to experience yet another literary classic from Leo Tolstoy.
This week we're digging deep into the Leo library to bring you one of the lesser-known Tolstoy classics - his Christmas fable 'The Young Tsar'.
A young man has just ascended to the throne, he's making laws left right and centre, but why is everyone so drunk, and are all these floggings really in the spirit of Christmas?
Join us as we give our moral compasses a good Christmas centring. Wherever you are, and whatever you're doing, if you're going to survive 2021, you need to hear this.

We'll be back with Book 2 of War and Peace on January 7th.
Thank you for listening, sharing and contributing to the show this season - we've loved every minute of it, and we've loved hearing from everyone that's written and sent stuff in. If you haven't said hello yet - it's not too late, we'd love to hear from you - send us an email or follow us on Instagram.
Have a great break, and we'll see you next year! -
28. Andy Pandy’s Bye Bye – Book 1 Finale!
Peel back that pre-diced pineapple pot, fill your vape with turkish vape juice, and pop the McTurtle™ burgers in the microwave, because it's time to celebrate!
Join us this week as we reach an incredible milestone - the end of War and Peace, Book 1. It's an emotional moment for us, and an emotional final chapter - Andy Pandy is off to war, but how will he concentrate with his pregnant wife at home slowly shrinking?
The future is unclear, but one thing is certain: even if it takes 7 years, we're doing this together.

What better way to end this season than with Ace Doing Art's truly haunting depiction of Vera. We don't know if Vera's mouth really is full of spiders (why won't Tolstoy tell us?!?), but if it is then this is surely what it would look like.
Thank you Ace Doing Art for this excellent drawing, and a massive thank you again to everyone else who has sent in their creations this season. Take a look at all of them in Tolstoy's Hall of Fame or send in your own by email or Instagram. -
27. Napoleon is a Powder Monkey!
It's dinner time at Nasty Nick's house and there's a politely sneezing architect at the main table... We know you'll find that hard to believe.
"A lowly architect eating his dinner at the MAIN TABLE, WHY WHY WHY?!"
We're just as repulsed and sickened as you are.
Tune in this week to find out who's the biggest powder monkey and what's so special about this awful architect.

Thank you to Cil for sending in this excellent drawing that we're officially calling a "meme" and so also "WAPIN7's first meme". It truly is a glorious and happy day for us all.
But that's not all - make sure to listen to this week's episode to hear the bounty of information that was Cil's message. We're talking sexuality, we're talking red handed Pierre, and most importantly of all, we're talking War and Peace themed electropop musicals.
As ever, Cil's drawing takes its place along with the other timeless works of art in Tolstoy's Hall of Fame. Thanks again Cil!
