153. The Codswallop Chronicles

When Talking Codswallop and USUK Chronicles come together, they make the funniest episode known to mankind. This episode has three friends and two mortal enemies... but will the "enemies" put their feelings aside to create the magic for The Codswallop Chronicles? You'd best have a listen to find out. 

As the podcasts are combined, it would be silly not to also combine each of our segments, this show includes: What a load of Codswallop, Tom's Journal, a mouth-twister of a Game, Quick Fire Round, weird and wonderful stories of the week, Audience Participation and some really EGGciting puns.

This man has had an incredible journey.

In his spare time, David writes and draws his own comic books.

The second title is David Leach Conquers The Universe, David’s autobiographical comic, which is also published by Dead Universe Comics. Issue #3 is due out in 2021.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We find out about her book; "I'm Now Called a Senior WTF", her life, her choices for moving from South Africa to Australia and much more.
