TheESP – Ep. #350 – Live at QED!

– Claire and Brian joins us, while Luna fills in for András

As we are joined by Claire Kroulik-Klingenberg and Brian Eggo, Luna steps up to fill the shoes of András who to everyone’s deep disappointment had to cancel at the last minute. To celebrate our 350th show and enjoy our live recording at QED in Manchester, we take some liberty with the normal format.

So, brace yourself for mythical tales of papal pasts as well as the long awaited Eurovision WRONG Contest:

• GERMANY: Annika – ‘Riceburger lady’, 75, plots to kidnap Karl Lauterbach
• SCOTLAND: Brian – Scottish archbishop: Euthanasia pushes message that some lives ‘aren’t worth living’
• RUSSIA: Pontus – Patriarch Kirill: Love for the Fatherland is what keeps the global apocalypse at bay
• CZECH REPUBLIC: Claire – Charter 2020 – National propaganda hijacking Charter 77
• HUNGARY: Luna – All good things done by Orbán this week

A big thank you to all who came to see us and said hello at QED!

Enjoy!
