The most beautiful city in the world, according to the golden ratio, is Chester. Yes, Chester! The one in England's north west! We've had the greatest mathematicians use the golden ratio and this is what it spat out!

This is foods that scream autumn guys! What really gets your mouth watering during fall? Is it a main? A snack? or a dessert? Let us know!
You read that right. We're now music critics. Bet you weren't expecting that, were you? We're talking about Taylor Swift's newest offering 'The Life of a Showgirl' which seemed to have been released to a rather flat reception. Have a listen to our thoughts on it!

It's Food this week. We're going on a rant (Well, Dominic is) about garlic not being used much in Italian cuisine. Also we examine his obsession with chicken vesuvio. But most of all, we're running through the list of popular Italian-American dishes that are unknown in Italy. Can they truly be called Italian? Are they Stateside creations only? Let us know your thoughts!
We screwed up. We got so excited about Memphis that we forgot it was the TV episode last week, so we're changing things up and making THIS episode about TV and we're talking about the Emmys which aired this past Sunday.
What was your favourite moment of the Emmys?
It's a bit of a long one this week! We're back and we're chatting about our recent trip to Memphis, Tennessee.

Touring Graceland was amazing and in this episode, we talk about the other sights we saw around Memphis!
Have you ever been to Memphis??
What do Jax Taylor, Kirsten Dunst and Taylor Swift all have in common? Well, they're being talked about on this episode of our non-award winning podcast! Is Taylor Swift engaged?

What was your pop culture moment this month?
This episode is not rage bait like many might think, but a look at the differing opinion on people from the US when they declare themselves as Irish-American or Scottish-American. We also discuss the current craze around black Scottish tik-tok creators and the apparent surprise that they exist!
What do you think about your heritage?
You ever see people raving about a particular food and you're thinking "Yeah, you don't really like that, you just want to because it's trendy"?? Yeah, me too. This week we're going all out about these foods and bickering about ground beef in Enchiladas!
What's a food you absolutely cannot stand??
This week, we're discussing the current adaptation of the Buccaneers on Apple TV. To be honest, we do kind of savage it a little bit. Okay, a LOT. But does it deserve it? Yes? No? Maybe? Have a listen and let us know what you think!
Who do you think Nan should end up with?
Since this is our bonus episode week, we're talking about the games that we've been playing and go on a little bit of a rave about Red Dead Redemption 2. So, apologies for those who absolutely detest that game and we respectfully ask you what is wrong with you? Eh? EH?!
Have you played any games this month that you just can't seem to stick with?
It's Pop Culture and Quiz week! We briefly talk about the Diddy verdict and the Texas flooding before launching into the viral moment of the Coldplay concert. If you haven't seen it yet, then you likely will. We also quiz Erica based on who's been in the news this month!
What is your favourite bit of pop culture from July?
This week, we're asking you whether we should go hiking all over the Cotswold countryside in England! The Cotswold Way is a trail that's over 100 miles long and takes in some of the most charming and quaint villages and towns in the Cotswolds on the way to Bath.
Would you like to see us walk the Cotswold Way??

What has been your favourite pop culture tidbit this month??
We all have family in jokes that only you and your family will understand but today we're looking at sayings and terms that maybe you only say within your family! Or maybe you call something that isn't the norm and your family thinks you're weird?
Does your family have a saying or a term that's foreign to outsiders?
Candy, or as it's known in the UK 'Chocolate and Sweets', has a lot of dubious history around the world but perhaps nowhere more than the UK. We're talking about the adulteration of sweets in Britain that lead to the deaths of 20 people in Bradford and what exactly is an 'Unclaimed Baby'??
What are your favourite candies??
