The Infinite Escape Room

Drinks, Militia, Universities and Conferences at The Buglers Fingers (Pubisode)

It's the pubisode, where Mike and Jamie are joined by James Charnock and Nic Whitton to:
debrief last week's Home Guard room
chat about why working in Universities is weird
discuss the best kind of conference (spoiler, it's Playful Learning)
It's a good natter, grab a brew and join us.

Britain’s finest knob tugging hour

Crumbs, jingo and flippery! It's Dad's army, and he's only gorn and bladdy locked some time travellers in a hut!

Jamie and Mike were recent guests on the Life is an escape room podcast. Jamie talked about seeing things from other people's perspectives, and Mike talked about emotional intelligence. Check out the episodes!

Whoah, has an evil future gym teacher dude made most non-non-heinous android copies of Mike and Laura, killed them - all to avert a utopian future based on being excellent to one another?
