Join your hosts Ben, Mark and Tom for a podcast where 3 childhood friends reconnect under the watchful eye of their AI Producer. Each week, the guys meet up and throw a selection of weird and wonderful stories from various (possibly questionable) sources into their AI Producer's lap. She then provides the headlines at random for them to discuss, and probably diverge from almost immediately.
