Even less research than usual is required today, as it’s that time again when Tom and Tomek wade through the stack of pizza menus by their front door in search of your correspondence. Is there an animal more synonymous with the ’90s than ducks? One listener certainly thinks so! Which Hollywood star could be in line to play a Class A4 steam locomotive? There’s only one man for the job! When does a collection become an obsession? Take a trip to a grandmother-in-law’s spare bedroom and find out! There’s certainly never a dull moment when you guys are providing the content...

E56 | TV Ads [ insert disc 3 ]

What is the best way to enjoy jazz? Is the pen mightier than the keyboard? Is it acceptable to answer the door in your pants? ...they're just some of the intriguing questions posed in this week's episode of Encarta and Chill despite them having nothing to do with the actual subject matter. Headaches, orgasms and the future are the focus as Tom and Tomek take a third look at the world of advertising in the 90s. Try and keep SOME of your clothes on as you get treated to some unnecessarily racy commercials, before abandoning them entirely whilst being serenaded by Bob Hoskins.

E55 | Snacks

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our pod... That was almost the title of this very podcast and this week Tom and Tomek discover their decision not to use it may have been the best branding decision since Mr. Kipling. Neil Buchanan is back by order of the "King of the 90s", lunchbox politics are put under the microscope, and human beings struggle to grasp the concept of chewing. It's a snack-sized instalment of Encarta and Chill all about snacks!

E54 | Board Games

Does playing Guess Who in real time work as podcastable content? Judge for yourself as Tom and Tom journey back to a time when tabletop entertainment was king. This week, they ponder which board game would be even worse to get trapped in than Jumanji, confess their most disastrous Rube Goldberg machine attempts, and scrutinise some truly questionable Monopoly boards. The pirates are popping, the hippos are hungry, and they don’t care how many families they destroy along the way.
