From the brain child of Gemma; we bring to you our 2020 Halloween episode. 

Taken from news stories from all around the world, Gemma and James sit around a campfire to tell the Spookiest of Stories... because they are real life stories.

Ouija boards sold in Poundland, Corona Virus masks, incorrectly buried pets, crying dolls and many more stories to put a chill down your spine. OK! I'll be honest, this episode is more funny than scary, the scariest thing is the spelling in the newspaper articles. But, does that put you off? It shouldn't.

Gemma gets the COVID-19 test done, results to be determined (but hopefully negative) due to her #Codswallop this week. James takes us on a quick trip to Car Corner and weather chat (desperate times haha). Gemma shares a weird and bonkers thing she does; do you do it as well? What happens when a man brushes too hard? Could he be staring on Pornhub next week? And why are the magpies in Australia re-enacting scenes from a classic Alfred Hitchcock film; The Birds? Do Australia need anymore deadly animals?....Nope. Asophadolskiopsy? Asophadol? Aso(blergh blergh blergh)iopsy? James struggles with a word, it's the highlight of Gemma's day...as it's normally her. 

Plenty of other things happened, but it's the morning, I'm tired and I can't think... what, do I need to do everything for you people? Why don't you just listen, then that way I won't need to write all of this stuff. :p Haha! I kid of course, I will always write stuff for the Salty Tadpoles.

A shorty but a goody. This week James and Gemma record not one, but two episodes for the Salty Tadpoles, but unfortunately you will only hear one of them. The clue might be in the title as to why the previous recording was deleted... but don't worry, it's Gemma's #Codswallop this week too. 

Car Codswallop. Special guest from a lovely lady. What did a woman swallow (without knowing it)? Short recording, but it's filled to the rafters of comical goodness and of course moaning... it's what we do.

In April we were supposed to be able to see the new James Bond film. Well Covid put that in a lock box and threw it off a cliff.

Here at Talking Codswallop we don't let that sort of thing stop us! James sat down and interviewed Warren Ringham the mastermind behind the amazing Q The Music - James Bond Tribute Band. We learn all about Warren and how he got into music, his amazingly talented family, his love of James Bond, and what the future brings! This is a really fun and educational interview. https://qthemusicshow.com/

Sadly Gemma couldn't make the recording as she had a nasty cough, pretty certain it's nothing to worry about, but she didn't want to interrupt the flow of conversation with her coughing. BUT, does that mean this episode isn't bad ass? Nope... it definitely doesn't.
