Get on your party hats, blow up the balloons and cut the cake because Brainwaves is one year old! On this special episode we are joined by our executive producers Robert and Sadie from the Lucky Sparrow Games Cafe and a few friends of the show. Although we were mostly partying we still had time to cover a bit of news with our guests and debate the merits of various party games! 

Iain, Jamie and Sam would like to thank all our listeners, friends and family for supporting us over the last year. The response to the cast has been more than we could have hoped and we are looking forward to what the next year will bring.
