On this week’s episode
We pick the biggest pricks of the week - including Matt Hancock telling a female MP to watch her tone and people who waste online supermarket delivery slots with pointless orders like 15 single cans of beer.
The Government's new track and trace app, explained in a way we can all understand by special guest and developer extraordinaire Kris Athi - what is it, why it's been built in a suspicious way (almost as if they want to track you after the pandemic) and why you shouldn't download it.
And we run a lightning round of some good news, capped off with a quiz.
