It’s our 500th show and the final episode of this series. So what better way to end things before we take a short break than with a Listener’s Mailbag!

50:07

After a quick brainstorm about what to talk about on today’s show, Joe and David decide to look at some life hacks. But after a promising start, they soon get board of the idea.

It’s a right old mixed bag of chat on today’s show - all very Chatabixy!
