First World Solutions

This week, we're communicating with professionals, discussing a much maligned piece of clothing, and giving agency back to users of public transport. Our HMS is a after-school community safe space for hip teens, the 'Pink Coil Ladle'.

This week, we're avoiding temptation in the workplace, styling for an inevitable future, and realising that multiple problems can often have a single solution. Our HMS is the Pogo Star Hat, a hot new brand for a struggling '90s scene.

This week, we take a professional approach to comfortable sleep, break free of the social media spiral, and prevent disruption of important meetings in the office. In HMS, we're rebooting a franchise through sponsored edu-tainment with 'Driver: Soul Fizz'.

This week, we make confusing measurements a thing of the past, create a naming convention with elegance and fluidity, and face baffling opposition to a new military initiative. Our HMS is 'Big Corner Bargains', where we scheme to beat our rivals 'Corners, Corners, Corners' at their own game.

This week, Oscar's missing a beloved item - but we take his mind off it with a new radio integration app, a conspiracy from centuries past, and ways to counteract the shame of a public breakup. This weeks' HMS is 'Get Tarp; Abridged' - a fantastic entry point into a trilogy of cult classics.

We've been hit hard by the lurgy, and the delirium has set in. Instead of resting, we discuss new bathroom power moves, enlist an old ally to protect humanity, and identify the dangers presented when non-edibles are made to smell delicious. Closing out, we envision what having a Neon Pedal Award ceremony in our lives might be like.

This week, we flip the fashion world on its head, plan some pre-emptive holiday ideas, and generate income with the humble gnat. In a twist on the Horse Melon Symposium, we compete for the best interpretation of our chosen invention.

Bit of a shorter one on account of time restraints - but this week, we're protecting your best meals from late-night hungers, calming the mind before an evening of rest, and pulling the (locally sourced) heist of the century.

This week, we craft a new initiative in an attempt to keep our tangents in check - while discussing wine tastings, mid-holiday blues, and acceptable dating app profile bios. In a twist on the HMS formula, we help Tom with his recent luggage management issues.

This week, we're focusing our lens on car woes; adding finesse to a heads-up display, envisioning alternate methods of traversal, and providing a quick fix to systemic parking issues. We also create the 'Abdominal Pea Cup', which unites our love of protein, privacy, and prolific exercise.

Apologies for the delay on this episode (though if you think about it, you'll now be getting two this week so, you're welcome?). We open out the show with Joel's thoughts on a seemingly under-represented film genre, before diving in to help people with dating queries, unshakeable thirsts, and a severe lack of dignity. We also pitch a new product via 'HMS' - the Belt-Lift Computer. Find us on twitter: twitter.com/fwscast Send us your First World Problems at fwscast@gmail.com FWS on iTunes: apple.co/2tCPYIr

This week, we're tackling transportation - making a car more like an office, and a fridge more like a car. We also see just how far a 'fully furnished' home could go. No But Better today but, fear not, our quick wits have got you covered with not one, but TWO brand new powder based foodstuffs.

Oscar's on holiday in sun(less) Scotland, but he still found time to kick back with us and solve some pressing issues - we're talking teaching children about loss, navigating the musician's quest for acoustic bliss, and bluffing your way through the most basic of human interactions. In But Better, we workshop Tom's browser plug-in 'Aggrandify', levelling the playing field when it comes to sharing content online. Find us on twitter: twitter.com/fwscast Send us your First World Problems at fwscast@gmail.com FWS on iTunes: apple.co/2tCPYIr

We return from the backlog this week, solving parental lessons in our hi-tech world, creating a benefits system for the party-deficient, and implementing strict guidelines for phone use during board games. 'Bet Butter' is Joel's last-minute attempt to cover for the fact we had nothing planned to end out the show.

Another compact episode this week, where we fix the unnecessary padding in online recipes, create a school program to help drive interest to our podcast, and - in lieu of a But Better - come up with three new products using the POWER of IMPROV.

Short on time this week, we get stuck straight into the good stuff - like getting unwanted scents off your high-end glasses, keeping the excitement in your hydration routine, and bringing back an old AI friend. In But Better, Tom proposes the 'Beach Safety Booth' - can we get it ready to deploy? Find us on twitter: twitter.com/fwscast Send us your First World Problems at fwscast@gmail.com FWS on iTunes: apple.co/2tCPYIr

This week, we try our hand at street speed-dating, design a space-efficient method of transport for all stages of washing transport, and help a nocturnal trumpeter to practice in peace. But Better brings Tom's 'The Forbidden Words'. Can they outclass the swears we're all used to?

These tropical weathers have us fearful to step outside, so this week brings a new remote session, in which we stave off boredom in the waiting room, relieve an urgent need to use the bathroom, and trick a misbehaving tablet into working for us. We then address multiple prompts in our closing MultiFix - and find that a simple foodstuff has more utility than you might expect. Find us on twitter: twitter.com/fwscast Send us your First World Problems at fwscast@gmail.com FWS on iTunes: apple.co/2tCPYIr

This week, we approach an age-old debate from a new angle, design an eat-to-win restaurant model, and create a perfectly impartial method of dating online. In But Better, Tom's '-Goodizer' aids us in creating a mixing pot of all-purpose fixes that are perfectly satisfactory.

This week, we help an old friend to enjoy his favourite summer food, decide if and how you should take your cat on holiday, and attempt to bypass the ordering restrictions of a local takeaway. In But Better, we workshop 'The Happy Birthday Tome' into a modern day trial of truth.
