No free episode this week homies

The nasty little peasants on the free stream are getting the previously secret bonus episode 'The Theo Philes VIII - A Land Girt By Beak / The Ones Who Sleep Through The Storms', so if you would like to simulate that experience, you can simply listen to it again. Bonus episode will come out this weekend as per usj. Have a sick one.

LIVE SHOW!

We're finally doing one! Queensland's borders will be properly open so it's time to see if we can do this with a live audience. Tickets are going extremely quickly but just quietly we might put on a late show that evening if it looks like we can carry two of these.
