This week, Susan Calman gets jealous of some goldfinches, and Rob Brydon finds verses abound in his pet cat Crumble. As the last week of September arrives fleetingly, are you feeling rather… well, how can we put it? Jon Culshaw tries to make his suggestion of “Octembular” happen on Unspeakable. And as a big day arrives for the Grundys, The Archers Podcast gives us a masterclass of how to recreate all those saucy scenes Lily Pargetter seems to be enjoying of late.
