In our 96th podcast, one of us has lost his voice over Christmas and is mainlining throat sweets, while the other seemingly hasn't and isn't. There is an air of post-festive indulgence about this week's look at the news, which includes the Nigerian Pants Bomber, as the papers have yet to christen him, the incredible weight loss of Hannah Waterman, the incredible age gain of Crocodile Dundee and his wife (or 'Croc-OLD-ile Dundee' as the tabloids have christened him) and the latest news from the Harry Potter franchise, which is something of a surprise, if an honest decision. Have a good New Year without us: Rich will be in Mauritius, Andrew will be earning a crust on the radio, but we have pre-recorded a review of the decade for next week, because we love you.
