Episode Details

This episode - recorded in an ultra-secret location near a border (any border will do - almost :-) - is witness to our two ageing heroes being in the same location for a change and gives away some giveaways. For the first time in the Inlaws' history, this episode features a glimpse into the future of the show: an overview of what's to come in 2026! Plus the usual banter about Trump, some FLOSS topics and why red wine for breakfast is almost always the better option. And some beans are spilled - for example, Martin's first programming language (hint: in contrast to popular belief, this wasn't IBM mainframe assembler which was all the rage in the sixties). Plus more from Martin's distant past - if he can remember it.
