Daily Sceptic editor Will Jones makes a special appearance, as does a highly famous mystery guest (you will have to listen to find out who!).The show ends with a Q&A, featuring some unsurprisingly intelligent questions from you, our wise and discerning audience.A great night, and a great podcast that is well worth a listen whether you were there or not!The event was very kindly sponsored by CAR26, organised by the brilliant Lois Perry.
