    Mike Capozzola

    Steven Davidson drags Mike into an alternative dimension of the Capozzola mind where things worked out very differently.   Amongst other adventures, we hear about Mike's successful crossbow stall at Buckingham Palace, his early years living at Neverland ranch, working with a young David Bowie at the United Nations and why he wil never have more than exactly 5000 fans.  No guest ever sees the questions in advance.  Thanks to Daisy D and Greystoke for their excellent tunes!

    Seymour Mace

    Steven takes Seymour back in time to a new history of his own invention.  Hear why he was arrested by the tortoise police and how he built a new high speed road between Newcastle and London with just a rake and some ladders.  Experience his fake moustache journey through South America and friendship with Pele, his fistfights with meercats and the reasons why Cardiff was moved from its original spot to its new location in Wales.  No guest ever hears the questions in advance.  Trigger warning - this episode is perhaps our most bonkers yet. Many thanks to the fabulous Skibka Music on Freesound for the use of their hip hop loop.

    Jarred Christmas

    Steven Davidson takes Jarred back into the tumble dryer of his early life.  We hear the reasons behind his random digging of gigantic holes, about a deep and beautiful friendship with Taylor Swift,  tales of eating bamboo in the mountains whilst learning martial arts, of selling a thousand wigs and winning an Olympic bronze medal at snooker before throwing it into the Thames.  No guest hears the questions in advance, their brand new life is made up entirely of nonsense from their own brain discussed as always in a very serious manner. Many thanks to Daisy Davidson for use of her excellent original tunes!

    Mark Maier

    Just under two years on from his last show, the slowest working man in showbiz brings the magnificent Mark Maier into a life that he definitely didn't live. Episode 29 takes Mark through a vicious cheese meltdown, onward to a school for gifted parkour leapers and round the corner via a field giving spirited performances to disinterested cows.  All this whilst breaking up with Adele, making jam for Jon Bon Jovi and experiencing a multitude of emotional adventures.  No guest ever sees the questions in advance, they talk only in pure nonsense and lies.  No truth is involved. (Many thanks to the amazing Daisy Davidson for creating the lovely original piano backing for a song subsequently ruined by some disturbing vocals)

    Jo Caulfield

    The 28th epic journey into a life not lived sees Steven Davidson joined by the fantabulous Jo Caulfield, whose tear jerking story involves adoption by Paul McCartney, secretly mowing the lawns of stately homes, a highly intelligent donkey and crushing Nigel Farage at tennis.  As always, no guest ever sees the questions in advance...

    Lou Conran

    Episode 27 sees us joined by the marvellous Lou Conran on a magnificent interview journey into an alternative life she did not live and knows nothing about.  Amongst many emotional moments we hear about why Lou lives a mile underground, the reason she ran Bono through with a broadsword, why she lobbed prosecco for the Queen, the traumas of being Hugh Grant's sister and the reasons behind Lou's desire to have her ashes smoked by Kevin Costner.  No guest ever sees the questions in advance...

    Eddy Brimson

    The 26th episode since 2015 from the UK's slowest but best podcaster sees Steven Davidson joined by the tremendous Eddy Brimson on an epic journey back into Eddy's alternative history.   Amongst a cornucopia of fantastical delights, we hear tales of Eddy firing missiles at Dundee, attending an archery school with Mikail Gorbachev, buying a gooseberry farm with Bitcoin, sharing a flat with Tessa Sanderson & Margaret Thatcher and joining the army but only agreeing to fight smaller nations.
