We’re spanning tiers this episode as Tom escapes Tier 2 for the fields of Cornwall. And it’s an exciting week for us both, because there’s a new book out and we’re VERY excited.

Plus, NEW RIDDLES! Plural! Courtesy of Tom’s 8-year-old Wilfred. Although we can’t promise that any of them make sense at all. They’re quite baffling to be honest, and a little worrying.

(Tony) Gardner's Question Time

Thu, 02 Apr 2020 01:15:56 GMT

The superb actor Tony Gardner (My Parents Are Aliens, Fresh Meat and Great Big Owl's very own excellent podcast Heavy Pencil) is our guest so we’ve taken the opportunity to really waste everyone’s time by subjecting him to our new segment Gardner’s Question Time (for rights reasons, this is nothing to do with Gardeners’ Question Time on Radio 4).

Tony also gets quite cross when he learns about the Great Big Owl WhatsApp group.

Plus we talk TIGER KING. Because we’re so ahead of the times.

The Argos Quiz and Tilly Steele

Wed, 25 Mar 2020 01:15:13 GMT

Well we promised it, and boy did we deliver. If you've ever wanted a (quite visual, we'll be honest) quiz based around the Argos Spring/Summer 1999 catalogue, then LOOK NO FURTHER. The quiz was lovingly prepared by Chris Sawyer (who produces the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, so we have high hopes for its quality).

We also speak to Victoria and Dr Who star Tilly Steele who is well into week two of isolation - has she gone mad yet?

IMPORTANT INFO: the full PowerPoint presentation of the Argos quiz can be found on our Twitter, we'll pin it for a few days - our very catchy Twitter handle is @cabinfe83709000 (there's a jingle in the podcast to help you remember it).

PILOT slash TRAILER - Cabin Fever starts Monday

Fri, 20 Mar 2020 01:00:00 GMT

We've gone mad and basically recorded a whole tester episode, rather than a 30 second trailer. You are WELCOME.

Cabin Fever proper starts on MONDAY (23rd March) - they'll be in your podcast pockets by the time you wake up, unless you wake up at like 1am.

This podcast comes from the team at Great Big Owl, and is basically something for us to do while we self isolate - we're all recording from our own homes, with zero physical contact. Will it be shit? Only one way to find out.

In the meantime, we'd like to hear about your terrible home gym setups, plus what weird thing you're binge watching during isolation (can you beat old episodes of The Bill on YouTube?).

Tweet us @CabinFe83709000 (yes, we know. Listen to the pilot to find out what happened here).
