HD Lockdown Pod 3rd Floor Productions

Excellent! Dude! Bill and Ted get the HD Lockdown Pod treatment, Mr Lawton updates us on the latest geographical news in Geography Corner and in Language Liaisons we discuss career opportunists for linguists.

The HD Lockdown Pod goes to the movies this week to review the 1997 classic disaster film, Dante’s Peak. Also on the show; the rich and varied history of Kenilworth Castle and the Francophone and Hispanophone world. The 90 Second Challenge says a fond farewell and Mysterious Country befuddles our minds once again.

In our longest episode ever (sorry folks!) we discuss the Stuart King of Scotland and their ‘Game of Thronesy’ lives. Also on the show, Geography Corner visits ‘Explosive Africa’ and Language Liaisons becomes a film club. The greatest quiz in podcasting, Mysterious Country, returns and Mr De Salvo takes on the 90 Second Challenge.

This week the HD Lockdown team explain why the Spanish Armada failed, why sustainable development is so important and ponder French and Spanish role models. There’s a ‘one clue slam dunk’ in Mysterious Country and Mr Lawton takes on the 90 Second Challenge.

This week we hear the stranger than fiction tale of the 17th century rapscallion, ‘Colonel’ Thomas Blood; the third part of global inequality and governance and we discuss sport in France and Spain. ‘Mysterious Country’ sees the three contenders well and truly stumped and Mr Eykelestam attempts to explain French verbs in the 90 Second Challenge.

This week we catch up with Mary, Queen of Scots in England, we return for more global inequality and governance and explain how, and where best, to use a bidet. There is also controversy in ‘Mysterious Country’ and Mr De Salvo takes on the 90 Second Challenge.
