  • S7E3. He’s Not My Uncle

    Since the beginning of time there have been rivalries that have transcended the generations:

    • Cats and dogs
    • Sliced bread and non sliced bread 
    • Red or white wine 

    And many more!

    It's time for a new rivalry. 

    Can any living being catch hares better than Digital Susan?

    Everything is on the line. 

    *Woof

    And they're off!

  • S7E2. How Many Dogs Is Too Many Dogs?

    It's an age old question: How many dogs would a good dog dog if a good dog could dog dogs?

    Is 5 dogs the right answer? 50? Would 5000 dogs be a good number of dogs to involve?

    Tolstoy wasn't afraid of asking the hard questions, and neither are we.

    So down a pint of your best brandy, rename your favourite horse and join us this week as we go on the hunt for answers to some of the world's most pressing and urgent questions.

  • S7E1. Homeward Bound – Book 7 Begins!

    One is the epic and unforgettable adventure of a talking bulldog, a talking golden retriever and presumably a talking cat and the other; a tale of a soldier's rather forgettable journey home to fix his family's financial mess. 

    Which is which?!

    There's only one way to find out...

    Onwards to BOOK 7!

  • S6E10. Book 6 Catch-Up Quiz

    We've got questions on hands, talking golden Smurf trees, archaic ultra-complicated temperature scales, bad calendars, pirate ships and somehow even a Jazz pianist.  What links them all? 

    Book 6 of War and Peace.

    Are you ready to put your WAP knowledge to the ultimate test?

    It's time to end season 6 on a big quiz bang.

  • S6E9 Special: Twilight Chapter 1

    Forks, Washington gets 110 inches of rain, on average, per year. The US average is 38 inches of rain per year.

    A lot of rain to wash away your sins... Perhaps; perhaps indeed.

    Forks averages 7 inches of snow per year. The US average is 28 inches of snow per year.

    Why doesn't the rain want to turn into snow? Spooky. Very spooky indeed...

    On average, there are 131 sunny days per year in Forks. The US average is 205 sunny days.

    What is the sun so scared of? What mystical and deeply emotional beings are hiding in the shadows?

    There's only one way to find out.

    Time to get into the big red truck and find out why Twilight is the best and worst book series of all time.

  • S6E8. Pandy’s Promise – Book 6 Finale!

    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6!

    Another book down.

    Take a bow, do a small dance, ask someone to marry you and sit in silence for exactly one year, have a pineapple or simply sit down and listen to the Book 6 Finale.

    There's only one thing left to say

    Onwards

  • S6E7. Normal People Doing Stuff

    Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

    It's just another standard week in War and Peace this week as the perfectly normal married humans, Vera and Berg, do utterly expected and human-y things with their normal human friends.

    Join us normal listener as we peer into their completely acceptable and expected lives. What will we find? Just your average humans doing normal stuff we expect - perhaps they will be having a nice time doing normal things normally with friends, or quite possibly they will be doing their normal activities but completely on their own, which is ALL GOOD with us, as it is with them.

    They're normal, you're normal, we're probably even normal. Everything is NORMAL, and everything is FINE, OK??

  • S6E6. The Secret Of Happiness

    Prince Andy is on the hunt for happiness but in order to find it he simply must experience ambivalence, nihilism and straight up unhappiness first.

    This episode is sort of like a football match. But instead of two teams playing football, it's actually happiness and sadness sort of fighting each other. The winner gets to be the king of all football... Yeah, it's not really like that at all actually.

    Maybe we should leave the writing to Tolstoy.

  • S6E5. The Dance of Destiny

    We've been to soirees, parties, even a casual ball or five during our time with War and Peace. We've watched as The King of Sauce set the dance floor on fire, we've seen kids doing backflips to impress other kids, we've applauded out of fear and amazement as the Blunt Dragon devoured people whole.

    Truly we thought we'd seen everything that high society Russia had to offer.

    Little did we know that there was another type of ball. A bigger ball. A better ball. A less lame and more incredible and important ball... The Grand Ball.

    Join us this week, as we attend the most important ball of any of our lives. Fates, minds and hearts will be made or broken tonight, all of Russian society could change in an instant, the world hangs in the balance at this ball to end all balls. See you there, don't be late. 

  • S6E4. Will You Money Me?

    Some marry for love.

    Some marry for a protracted negotiation around dowry payments, up front deposits, cash incentives and share options.

    Some choose not to marry because they don't love someone.

    Some choose not to marry because the dowry payments, up front deposits, cash incentives and share options aren't optimal in the current economic climate and the return on investment will be suboptimal.
