THE TRAITORS UK SPECIAL by Ed and Stu

Ed and Stu (seasoned gamers who between them share several accomplishments at strategy game Magic: The Gathering including national championship crowns, several pro tour and world champtionship attendances, and a glasgow city champs) are back with a weekly strategic look at season 2 of the Traitors UK.

Stu's back from Croatia with a piercing question for Ed that's been on every listener's mind - what is his favourite fruit?   Find out the answer in this bumper episode along with thoughts on sporting heroes and villains, Top Gun Maverick, Love Island strategy and the debut of another new segment - Tales From The Vault - where the guys reminisce about past gaming glories.   --- Produced by Dave

With new format points completely abandoned, Ed and Stu round out the football season celebrating a big win for Ed in the FPL money league.   Also featuring: - Tom Cruise films, the best of the best - Distant memories of gaming glory - Funding Vegas blow-outs with crypto cash-outs - The fashion of Love Island Thanks for listening, back in a fortnight (or maybe later - Stu's off on holiday) --- Produced by Dave

"On the first light of the fifth day at dawn, look to the EAST" - Gandalf Ed and Stu are big in the back time sharing their latest musings on fresh topics like the 'Saved By The Bell' cast, the Spice Girls and Modern dance.  Also featuring comedy, beer, TV, fantasy football and fasting failures.   New segments "Ed's Small Plates" and "Stu's Big Question" deep dive into controversial court cases and polarised politics (mostly edited out).

As McFly once sang... it's all about Stu. Some minor technical difficulties mean that instead of 50mins of back and forth with Ed's insightful, and at times cutting, banter is missing from this episode so its more of an interview for Stu - an interstu. The mailbag is bulging though, featuring questions of dream club football teams, what if  famous sitcom characters were on university challenge, and will there ever be another great Gencon.
