A million pounds is meant to solve problems, so why does it get so complicated the second we add one tiny catch? We’re Hannah and Davy, a father-daughter duo, and we’re borrowing a brilliant game idea and making it our own with “Million Pounds But” where every offer comes with a ridiculous rule you cannot escape.

Some choices are easy and some are instant deal-breakers: forgetting the last ten minutes every time you sneeze, only ever being able to whisper, living with one wet sock forever, or having every queue you join magically double in length. We argue it out with proper British humour, a few detours into house prices, and the very real realisation that “a million” does not feel as untouchable as it used to. Ruby and Archie also make appearances, because of course they do.

The chat goes beyond the game into what these hypotheticals expose: our tolerance for daily discomfort, our need for privacy, and why modern work can feel like we’re just surviving our calendars. We even end up talking about what we would actually do with the money if we could spend it on something meaningful, including a dream inclusive cafe by the water with good food, local produce, and fair pay.

Hit play for laughs, questionable logic, and the kind of family banter that turns silly questions into surprisingly honest answers. If you enjoy it, subscribe, share it with a mate, and leave us a review.

One pound on the lottery, two dogs in the room, and a brand-new recording setup that makes us wonder why we ever bought a webcam in the first place. We’re Hannah and Davy, and we’re back with the kind of chaotic, cosy chat that only a father-daughter podcast can get away with, before we launch into a game we’re calling Weird Questions.

From “which animal would be the rudest if it could talk?” to the surprisingly deep logic of vampires biting zombies, we test how far common sense can stretch. We end up debating Adam and Eve’s belly buttons, whether cereal counts as soup, and why the hot dog sandwich argument refuses to die. Along the way we touch on roller coaster milestones, video podcast problems, and the little details of everyday life that make the bigger questions funnier.

Things get even stranger when we ask how society might change if humans laid eggs, who Earth should never send to greet aliens, and what would happen if everyone went invisible for an hour. We also dip into AI anxiety with a self-aware internet, and finish with a Free Guy style scenario where everyone else might be an NPC and you’re the only person with free will.

A cult TV show isn’t just “underrated”. It’s the kind of series you quote without thinking, rewatch like a ritual, and use as a shortcut language with people who get it. Today we’re getting properly nerdy about what makes a show earn that status, from being cancelled too soon to being too weird for mainstream schedules, or simply arriving before the audience is ready.

We start with the feeling of cult fandom itself: the intensity, the community, the hidden jokes and callbacks that only reveal themselves on a second watch. Then we put that definition to the test with big hitters and deep cuts. Firefly gets the full treatment, including how Fox aired it out of order and why that helped create one of TV’s most loyal fanbases. From there we jump into Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, picking favourite characters and talking about how growing up changes what you notice on a rewatch.

Things get stranger with Twin Peaks and the surreal joy of not fully understanding what you’re seeing, then we head into paranormal territory with The X-Files. We also fly the flag for British cult energy with Misfits, The Prisoner, Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace and The Mighty Boosh. On the modern side, we dig into why Scrubs balances laughs and heartbreak so well, why Dark feels like a masterclass in planned storytelling, and why Severance turns a simple workplace idea into a moral maze.

If you’ve ever forced a friend to “just watch the first two episodes”, you’re one of us. Subscribe, share the show with a fellow fan, and leave us a review, then tell us: which cult series owns your brain?

You can measure a childhood by the “facts” you’re warned about, then spend the rest of your life quietly unlearning them. We’re Hannah and Davey, and we’re putting the most stubborn childhood myths under the microscope, from the classics your parents swore by to the playground rumours that somehow became universal truth.

We start with the big ones: swallowing chewing gum and the famous “seven years” claim, sitting too close to the TV and whether it really ruins your eyesight, and cracking knuckles and the fear of arthritis. Then we get into the myths designed to keep kids in line, like pulling faces or crossing your eyes and being told you’ll get stuck like that, plus the food myths that tried to make vegetables feel magical, including carrots and “seeing in the dark”. Along the way, we talk goldfish memory, sugar and hyperactivity, and why expectation can be as powerful as any ingredient.

From there we widen out into nature and everyday life: can you catch a cold from being cold, does shaving make hair grow back thicker, will touching a baby bird make its mum reject it, and do bulls really hate the colour red. We also share the truly cruel ice cream van rumour, the car interior light “illegal” rule, and finish with pop culture nonsense, screen burn, and whether dogs only see in black and white.

A single random word can derail a whole family conversation and we prove it by trying to “predict the future” using Mad Libs style newsletter headlines. What starts as a Father’s Day Bonanza catch up quickly turns into a fast, silly game where we ask for a celebrity, an object, a place, a number, and an adjective, then stitch them into tomorrow’s news. The results are gloriously unhinged: accidental run-ins with The Rock, suspiciously specific monkey totals, questionable inventions, and headlines that feel like they should not be read out loud but absolutely must be.

Between the jokes, we get properly British about it all: a quick rant about muggy UK weather, a chat about swearing as a weird form of affection, and the kind of teasing that only works when you actually like each other. We also wander into a few surprisingly relatable corners, from the “Merlin” bird app and the joys of suddenly noticing starlings, to the internet’s most divisive question: do you actually wash your legs in the shower, or do you let the water handle it?

We finish with a behind-the-scenes peek at podcast life and our listener stats, including some genuinely unexpected countries. If you’re one of the people listening from Singapore, Vietnam, or anywhere else we didn’t see coming, we’d love to hear from you. Subscribe, share the show with someone who’ll laugh at the headlines, and leave us a review so more people can find Bonus Dad Bonus Daughter.

One tiny clip. Hundreds of comments. And a perfectly normal Father’s Day recording that instantly turns into an internet post-mortem. We’re Hannah and Davey, and we start by clearing up the chaos around a viral-ish moment: Davey calling Elden Ring the hardest game he’s ever played. The replies range from genuinely helpful to hilariously intense, and we dig into what’s really happening when people argue through text with no tone, no body language and lots of certainty.

After that, we bring it back to the “present” theme of our Father’s Day special with a proper gift opening, featuring a map of Cursed Norfolk and a Black Shuck book that leans into local folklore, legends and the joy of collecting strange little stories. It’s a calmer, sweeter beat that shows how shared interests can cut through the noise.

Then we flip the whole episode into a game: Finish The Lyric. Hannah has spent hours trawling through Davey's band, Mammal Not Fish tracks, Davey’s early solo EP and more, and the results are brutal, funny and oddly revealing. We end up talking DIY recording gear, secret tracks, lyrics that would not fly today, band memories, and even the surreal moment a song charted in Japan.

Father’s Day turns into a proper test of family memory when we flip the script and Hannah brings a surprise, three-part plan built around past, present and future. Davey turns up with no idea what’s coming, and we start with the real stuff: a health update on suspected endometriosis, getting onto a waiting list for diagnostic surgery, and the strange mix of nerves and relief that comes with finally being heard. It is personal, frank, and exactly the kind of conversation a father and daughter do not always make time for.

Then we swing into the present with the everyday moments that make this father daughter podcast feel like a living scrapbook: Mexican Train dominoes in the garden as the rain starts, a last-minute dash to London for Hadestown, and the undeniable truth that late nights hit differently now. From there, nostalgia takes over with McFly memories, a signed poster, and a surprisingly thoughtful detour into what happens when memorabilia stops feeling harmless, including the moral question of what to do with items linked to people who later caused harm.

The heart of part one is a playful quiz on how well Davey remembers Hannah’s childhood. We bounce through favourite toys, The Simpsons at 6 pm, Disney comfort watches, picky eating shaped by money worries, school trips, and the chaos of Birds Cottage, including a vomit-in-the-face story and a glow stick emergency that still makes us wince. We finish with the final score and a Father’s Day sign-off that is warm, silly, and honest.

A single question can expose far more than you expect, especially when you have to answer it on the spot. We sit down for a blind react game of Would You Rather, and it turns into equal parts comedy, confession, and oddly serious logic about the way we live now.

We bounce from harmless chaos to proper existential territory, picking between singing instead of speaking, knowing how you die versus when you die, and the eternal debate of fighting one horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses. Then we get into modern life choices that hit a bit closer to home: losing the internet for a month, being mildly famous for something embarrassing, and whether you’d rather narrate your own life out loud or have someone announce your private thoughts. If you love British podcasts with quick wit and real family chemistry, this one is built for you.

There are tangents, obviously. Time travel becomes a full-on Fleetwood Mac spiral, complete with Rumours-era obsession and relationship lore, and we also detour into The Boys, superhero powers, and what “perfect luck” would actually change. We finish with big preference questions like talking to animals, music versus films and TV, spotting lies, talking dogs versus talking cats, and the travel-power choice of flying versus teleporting.

If you enjoy funny conversation starters, would you rather dilemmas, and a father-daughter podcast that feels like a real chat, hit play, subscribe, and share it with someone who’ll argue back. After you listen, what’s your most controversial “would you rather” pick?
