Bigot in the Big Blue Bird

aka Escape Cape Canaveral
This week's episode is made possible by our wonderful Patreons, including Colin Walker, Charlotte Knowles, and Jen McPhilimy. 
This week Mike, Laura and Aled go where no monkey has gone before on a special mission to space, where we'll ponder such questions as:
Has Jamie overestimated their cleverness?
Does banana bread cook faster in space?
And just how useful is a butt flap on a space suit?

aka Escape the Tea Shop at the Edge of the Universe

BE AMAZED as Brandon and Cici sweep the room with expert flair.
NOD WITH BRITISH PRIDE as Mike discusses the age-old war between Devon and Cornwall scones.
SHAKE YOUR HEAD DISAPPROVINGLY as Jamie forgets how cakes work and desperately tries to backpedal mid-puzzle.

Join Ben and Jon as they find themselves trapped in Mike's Library of Alexandria...with a barbarian horde on the horizon!
Listener discretion is advised, as this episode features some truly, truly awful accents, and truly truly truly poorly 'researched' history.
If you want to play along at home, you might find the following obscene papyrus useful:
 
'Minus the Minotaur
SEXENFELCHIDES HELD THE MINOTAUR. ARSE KISSING ENVELOPED THEIR HORNS A LONG INTENSE AGE. THE MINOTAUR SUCKED HOOF AND THE MINOTAUR NEVER DOUBTED. THE MINOTAUR OBLIGED HIS GARGLE OBLIGATIONS DREAMILY. ‘MORE OVERT RAVISHING!’ EXTEMPORISED THE MINOTAUR.'

It's been really, really hot in the UK recently.
This episode happened. It's a good one.
Join the Ben and the Jamie.
They escape Mike's hot little location.
At one point a man sweats out his guts. Here's what it looks like:
Send 99p flakes.

aka Escape the Boston Tea Party
This episode is brought to you by our wonderful Patreons Dave Shaw and Karen Cate. Thank you!
 
Much like Nicolas Cage, we're on a mission to uncover some forgotten American treasures. But unlike Nicolas Cage, we're doing it with a little more tact and a lot less insanity.
 
Join Mike, Laura and Ben as they infiltrate the Boston Tea Party Museum to find the last remaining tea chest from the Boston Tea Party.
Will Mike and Ben find a tri-corner hat that actually fits?
How does Ben unlock the podcast's secret God-Mode?
Is fruit tea really tea or just an infusion?
Find out now in this Independence Day special episode!
 
If you're playing along at home, you'll need this map of the islands around Boston harbour.

The episode in which Mike and Laura find themselves in the midst of a splashy splashy burney death zone, and Mike gets to fulfil a lifelong ambition.
Has Mike unlocked the secrets of successful communism?
Has Jamie finally managed to stump Laura's lightning-fast puzzling prowess?
And just what is a coffee knocker anyway?
Here are the details of the Viking compass and coasters, if you fancy playing along yourself.
Skål!
PS I've taken some liberties with Norse mythology for the sake of the puzzle. If you want a primer on some Norse myths, and like your tunes on the heavier side, I recommend listening to the track Emblas Saga by Brotherhood of Metal. It's pretty wild.

It's the final part of our Quest special! If you haven't listened to the rest then hold your horses, nip back to part 1 and we'll see you in a while.
Join our roving band of breakfasting adventures as they find the final puzzle piece of Enaria's secrets, and offend a local religion with their dice rolls and use of magical incendiaries. If you'd like to solve the big puzzle along with us, then check out this map of the city. Alternatively, if your day to day life already involves too much brain churning thought then you can skip ahead to the solution.
Ben is Forquare Quendien - A halfling wizard, and mute war crime in a seven year old's dress-up robe.
Bailey is Bailinator Jones - A half orc fighter, roller of diabolical dice and yorping standup comedian.
Jamie plays Luck, Stuck and Bugger - A trio of goblin spies in a trenchcoat, and the bane of park caretakers everywhere.
Mike plays Clam Strumlington, an oversexed and underbrained shapeshifting bard. Has moved on from horny animals to ones with big trunks for sucking, and beaks for beaking.
And Tony is our guide, leading us through the adventure, and starving for a curry.
You can find out more about the gang via our character sheets, including blurbs, abilities and inventories.

It's part 3 of our 4 part Quest special! Join our band of merry adventurers as they conduct a little light tomb desecration, Dieter invocation and snoozy brunching! If you haven't listened to part 1 and part 2 yet then quick, go back - give them a listen!
Ben is Forquare Quendien - A halfling wizard. He doesn't say much, which on reflection is an interesting choice of character trait for a podcast.
Bailey is Bailinator Jones - A half orc fighter. She's glam, she's disco, and she's itching to smack something with an axe. Standard Swansea night out.
Jamie plays Luck, Stuck and Bugger - A trio of goblin spies in a trenchcoat. We wish you could see the webcam pantomime we were witness to as Jamie mimed having three sets of stacked hands. It was poetry.
Mike plays Clam Strumlington, an oversexed and underbrained shapeshifting bard. He's got a list of horny animals he wants to transform in to, and a sound effects board.
And Tony is our guide, and does a smashing impression of a ten year old German exchange student.
If you're mega smart want to solve the puzzle before us, here's a cheeky map of the city of Enaria. You can also peruse our character sheets from the campaign, including blurbs, abilities and inventories.
