A man! A war! A horse! A podcast! After several weeks adrift Alice and husband/audio producer Keith ended up on the mythical island of Ireland, where they went to the cinema. In this Fainting Couch episode we’re comparing Odysseuses (do you prefer sinewy-sad or hopping psychopath?), working out who broke Zeus’ law the hardest, and whacking bits of bronze together.

Kim and Alice will be reunited on 10 September for the start of a new season!
