Can I Have A Word?
Post-Christmas Special: Inform

In the final of three Christmas specials - and our last episode from the archive of unreleased episodes - Phil gives a massive lecture on the evils of social media algothrims, and the benefits of randomness. Meanwhile, Harry celebrates the ceremony of engaging with physical content, highlights the main differences between the French and UK television news (no really, one of them has semi-naked women on, and it's not the one with Huw Edwards) and asks if Paris is a lesbian.

Death (with David Mitchell)

Just in time for Halloween, Harry and Phil are joined by novelist and screenwriter David Mitchell to discuss Death. Phil talks about how life is change, and how there should be mental health gyms to keep everyone mentally fit. Meanwhile, Harry talks about grief, making a heartfelt speech about her much-missed aunt, and David explains that art is a mortality hack, that monks invented silent reading, and that death is, in fact, a shade of blue.

Can I Have A Word?
Describe

In this week's episode of CIHAW, Phil's brain doesn't work and Harry's hearing voices - but it doesn't stop them discussing the evolution of language, whether podcasts could work as text messages, the struggles of aphantasia, and peng puce collinders. Plus they ask how blind people appreciate the visual arts... and much more besides.

Audited (with Rob Singh)

Musician and filmmaker Rob Singh joins Phil and Harry for the longest episode of CIHAW thus far, where they discuss Ofsted inspections, the celebration of teen rebellion, the educational benefit of TV subtitles, philosphy, happiness and how being a famous pop star is a really hard life.

Can I Have A Word?
Rifle

For the first brand-new episode of CIHAW in over a year, Harry and Phil discuss saving the planet, winding up mooses (or is that meese?), fans being demanding and entitled, artists doing whatever they want, and they ask whether Michael Jackson was Bad and/or Dangerous. The twin terrors of patriarchy and social media also turn up again, so it's pretty much business as usual.
