    Once again our intrepid HAALO podcast team, tell it how it is, including:


    Is 3i/Atlas a comet or a spaceship?

    Why are ‘peas’ no longer ‘green’, and what do two staircases have to do with it?

    Who said ‘give construction the tools and we will build the future’ – it certainly isn’t Rachel?

    How did ‘The Line’ become just a ‘dot’?

    How not to tackle EV fires – Fred finds out?

    What are the latest BSR stats – Peter gets on his soapbox yet again?


    The return of Simon!


    ENJOY!
