Taking you around the world for 4 of the 5 features, we go from the underworld of contemporary Northern Ireland to Guernsey island in WWII, then travel to the American south in the 1990s, the beaches of southern France in the early '00s, before we meet a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders in modern day Denmark.

A lively episode, E9 is filled with observations about hammers as weapons, letter writing as the perfect way to get to know someone, why Francis Ford Coppola is too hard on himself, sexless sex comedies, how stressful it is for a habitual check splitter like Jen Johans to watch a woman take a man to the cleaners, and the power of a compelling one man show. Needless to say, this one covers a wide range of topics and titles. Enjoy!
