Hi, my name is Tom Widdicombe and this is my podcast about hippies and anything and everything to do with the Hippy era.

Ed & Matthew (aka Crunch & Crumble) are bringing top quality comedy to your Sunday mornings (8am - 11am). Tune in for film reviews, sports news, phone-ins, excuses, puns, quizzes, facts about catfish, and an education in heavy metal. No, really. It’s like a proper weekend breakfast show, but presented by two comedians with relatively little radio experience. But it’s better than it sounds.
Each week Kerry is joined by guests who've brought in five photos from their life to talk about. To see the pictures as you listen, make sure you listen on the Entale app.https://tinyurl.com/getentale Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to this episode of Thelma and Tom. I'm going to be honest here (no really, I am) - for one reason and another, we did no prep for this recording at all.

Fresh from the ComCompendium annals we rediscover the indomitable Gina Yashere. An engineer in a previous life, and a comic tour de force in this one, Gina's boldness and clarity of mind saw her draft up a plan: simply selling up her life in the UK and moseying over to the ol' USA. We examine Gina's annoyance at being the 'diversity' on panel shows…
