Understanding Fentanyl's Dangers

Fentanyl is frequently mixed into illicit drugs and counterfeit prescription pills, making them more potent and dangerous. Its presence cannot be detected by sight, taste, or smell, posing a significant risk to users who may not be aware they are consuming it. Suppliers often use fentanyl because it is cheaper and more powerful than other substances, increasing the danger of overdose. Therefore, it is crucial for individuals to educate themselves about fentanyl to ensure their safety and that of others in their community.

LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!

Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe AGAIN (only this time under much more intense existential circumstances) with the hilarious comic SEAN MCLOUGHLIN! JUDGEMENT DAY!

With a couple of appearances in the bag for Sean, we find him in a cool calm space, ready to accept his judgement from above (or below, or middle - whatever your given outlook). As such, it's a really great episode which gets into some very interesting actual comedy chat, the real behind the scenes and detailed stuff. The comedy to film ratio is met perfectly though, and it is not all full on (what some call) inside baseball. A lovely episode to warm up your week, and be sure to catch Sean on tour if he is nearby!
