This week, Dom crafts a delightful puzzle where Ben and Jamie have to escape from Nitflex - the streaming service with a delightful set of portals we can jump into.
Dom also did a fantastic job at hosting this one, too. Tell us if you think he should host more often :) His alliteration skills were also on point.

A pint of madness at The Cosmic Horror

Whoo boy do we go on some tangents with this one. From Cockneys to Wombles to Batman and back. And for those of you not from the UK - this is the wombles.
Ben and Dom were stellar pub friends, keeping the banter flowing when my internet connection went down ... several times.
Make sure you comment or send us a message with your answer to our Cockney rhyming slang challenge!
Here are some links to the cool things we talk about during the episode:

'Ello Guv'nor!
Ben and Dom find themselves in the midst of a dastardly Cockney plan to summon the Great Cthulu, Spawn of the Stars, at Margate Water Treatment Plant.
How will they fare? Will Jamie's AWFUL connection be the death of them? Fear not, dear listener - where there's a will there's a way.

Well well well. After 95 years, the OG Mickey Mouse is in the public domain. So of course we see just how close we can get to bringing the fury of the House of Mouse upon us as quickly as possible. What a way to start 2024.
Anna and Bailey were excellent solvers, and it was great to have them back on the pod after so many months.

Rap Battles With Demon Horses

This week, Aled and Jamie are joined by Jack and Franks from Tales for Wales - a Welsh history podcast where they love their beer as much as their history (they're a couple of guys after our own hearts). Give them a follow, give them a listen and say hi from us.
With a full Welsh contingent and it being almost Christmas, the gang find themselves trapped in a winter cabin and up against the Mari Lwyd - a demonic horse skeleton hell-bent on breaking in and noshing on our solvers' souls.

This week's solvers were Aled, Jack and Franks. Your host and puzzlemaker was Jamie Gibbs.
