This week's episode is about the making of the film, Roar, a film with the tagline is: “No animals were harmed in the making of this movie. 70 members of the cast and crew were.”

Recorded live at The Glee Club in Birmingham, it was a great fun time!

Because I'm an idiot, I forgot to mention that Roar was suggested as a topic by listeners Denzel Arevalo, Ryan Malloy, Will Hughes, Casey L Probert and Robin - cheers!

159 - Tarrare, The Man Who Ate Anything Nov 07, 2018

Show notes

In France in the 18th Century there was a man known as Tarrare… and boy could he eat. By the age of seventeen he could eat his own weight in beef. An insatiable hunger led him to become a travelling performer, eating everything from snakes to stones to golden forks. A very funny but sometimes gross story, probably don’t listen to this one whilst eating.
