A New Pair of Shoes (a Shoe-stravaganza)
Some shoes light up, some have wheels in them, and some make you taller. Aside from that, shoes are fairly dull - where's the innovation? What's new? Luckily for Adidas and Nike, Alex has hundreds of ideas on how to improve the shoe - ones to make you shorter, a shoe that makes you sound different, a shoe to brand the ground you walk on!

The Wine Flight Hat
Andrew had so many great ideas planned for this episode - instead, he pitches the wine flight hat, a classy and portable way of consuming a selection of wine. Increasing the classiness of the episode, we also pitch a reusable strawpedo straw, allowing even the environmentally conscious to get drunk fast. Our listener Rich sends us an idea to make sure a watched pot will always boil.

Live from The Station House 22/2/2023
This is our first-ever live show! In front of an audience of real humans, Andrew pitches an advent calendar for every holiday, and Alex pitches Cameo for shopping - an app to make Steve Buscemi go shopping for him. Thank you to everyone who came along, and to everyone who pitched their own business idea! Thank you to Rich, for doing the sound engineering on this episode. Finally, thank you to the Station House in Durham for letting us use their bar as a venue for all our ridiculous business ideas.

Astronaut for a day
Paw Patrol, Fireman Sam, and Postman Pat give kids a false and whimsical impression of what grown-up jobs are like. Andrew pitches the chance to try out any job before committing your life to it. We get sidetracked and ask: what if you could become 1/140th of a Doctor? Andrew ranks all the crimes and decides that robbing a train on a horse is the coolest.

Yes In My Backyard
Plenty of people are NIMBYs ("not in my backyard!") but what about those of us who are more amenable? What about the YIMBYs? The "yes in my backyard!" people? Do you need to build a wind farm in someone's garden? Open a prison on someone's property? Dispose of weapon's grade nuclear waste? Alex's new app will find the exact place to put it!
Plus, we have a live show on the 22nd of February at the Station House, Durham. Please come along!
