The Black Dog Podcast Lee Medcalf

This week, Jim comes back from holiday to regail us with fantastical tales of bacon steaks, Elton finally succumbs to Covid, which causes him to watch nazi Harry Potter films. Darren sticks to a theme of only watching stuff with Inside in the title, while Lee laments a choice of spacecraft, watches the Foo Fighters and then rages against shady MOT garages which are about to cost him a huge amount of cash.
