×It took some doing, but after 5 years and 140 episodes we have finally covered every single detail on the subject of politics. From this point onwards there will be no new information on the topic. Anyone who makes a claim to the contrary is probably a fascist and is not to be trusted. Emotional deflection aside, it has been our sincerest pleasure to be the voices in your head and we hope you learned a thing or two, and maybe had a little giggle along the way. There's a bajillion podcasts out there, so we really cannot thank you enough for gifting us with your time and attention. You have made us both feel as warm and fuzzy as Hercules after a bath. We hope you enjoy this, our final episode. Lots of love, Steve & Richie Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

The National Health Service, Blighty's biggest achievement since giving Mr Hitler the ol’ two fingers. It's been a rough year and a half for the beloved institution.

Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Dr Ellen Welch , author of The NHS: The Story So Far, talks to us about all this and more! ----- Become a Headstuff+ member and get exclusive bonus content!

OK, look. Before you even start, we know it's a bit problematic to have two semi-rowdy Irish lads trying to explain the foundations and intricacies of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So they did what they thought was best... They got a bit drunk, took a wild stab at it and brought in some British besties to top it off.

We tried using an AI to generate a description for our newest episode, What Am Machine Learning? “The podcast that sounds smart but is actually really dumb?” “The podcast that's learning while it podcasts.” And our personal favourite: “ Starwars.com . All Star Wars, all the time.” (Yes, this was an actual suggestion) But who needs a computer to describe a subject when you have real life human, Ger Carney on hand to tell you everything you need to know about AI, machine learning and automation.
