  • NZ Pubcast - Session 28 - New Zealand Sluts

    Hardly hot on the heels of our last effort, the very latest Session is ready for consumption below friends - best listened to when you're consuming your favourite beverage...

Obviously this has been a burning question ever since our first session - we deal with it once and for all:) We hear about the police questioning an entire town in the North Island about some missing war medals The recent result in the Aussie Elections also gets a wee mention - And finally Dodge manages to turn it all around and force Shifty into a discussion on the environment:) Wouldn't be a proper session otherwise right? Some links to the stuff we mentioned: That blog about the English family who we failed to catch up with can be foun
