    Bonus Episode: The Special Souvenir Tea Towel Edition

    After a whirlwind few weeks of holidays, mishaps, wildlife encounters, and questionable souvenir choices, Marcus and Molly reunite on the bench for a special episode packed with stories from the Top End, Tamborine Mountain, Bunya Creek, the Ekka, and a midweek Melbourne escape. Marcus relives Darwin’s crocodile‑infested rivers, kangaroo dinners, and the world’s slowest Wi‑Fi, while Molly recounts smoky fireplaces, bull‑sale bravado, carnival victories, and the most expensive post‑show drinks in Melbourne history. From confiscated knives to $20,000 German clocks, this episode is all about the wins, the fails, and the souvenirs they probably shouldn’t have bought.

    Episode 5: Caffeinated, Confused and Back on the Bench

    Episode 5 of Two Marks on a Bench is the big “we’re finally back” catch‑up — the one listeners have been waiting for. After weeks of missed diaries, travel chaos and family members assuming the show had quietly died, Molly and Marcus return to the bench caffeinated, confused, and absolutely ready to overshare. This episode is a warm, funny, slightly unhinged wander through everyday life: the mystery of the third kitchen drawer, the sacred box of old cables, the apps that want your identity, the streaming platforms draining your wallet, and the unwritten rules of civilisation that half the population seem determined to ignore. There are listener shoutouts from around the world, a fresh Molly’s Mind Bender, and the usual dose of accidental wisdom disguised as banter. If you’ve missed the boys, this one feels like slipping back into your favourite seat — familiar, chaotic, and very, very human. Settle in and enjoy the ride… the bench is officially open again.

    Episode 4 - Smells Like Childhood

    Episode 4 of Two Marks on a Bench is a full sensory ride — sight, sound, smell, and a few feelings the boys didn’t plan for. Molly kicks things off with a brand‑new Molly’s Mind Bender before he and Marcus dive into classic Aussie TV ads. Then Marcus Glitz crashes the bench with his Hollywood NON‑sense, delivering his usual blend of half‑facts and full confidence. The episode also takes a heartfelt turn as Molly opens up about a recent health scare — an honest, important chat about paying attention to your body and getting checked. To round things out, the boys explore the smells that bring memories flooding back: mulberries, fresh‑cut hay, chooky soup and even the unmistakable aroma of a dump run with Dad. Warm, funny, nostalgic and meaningful — Episode 4 covers everything from childhood ads to real‑life health, all with classic bench banter.
