  • E167 - Common-sense Monster, Black Night Parade
    2025/12/23

    In this episode of ScreenTone Club Elliot and Andy gather around the Christmas Tree and hand out presents to good children. To the girl who is secretly a human-devouring monster: a powerful cleaning agent to help get troublesome bloodstains out of fabrics! To the boy who has been kidnaped by Reverse Santa and taken to their arctic circle base: some warm knitted gloves, the kind which work with touchscreens!

    And to you, our lovely listeners, we have another episode of our podcast. No, you can't return it to Argos for cash, you cheeky sod.
