A Breath of Fresh Beans returns triumphantly after only 371 days since the last episode. We’re still ploughing through the wealth of recordings made during the various Covid-19 lockdowns, so its still technically series 4.

Anyway, we burst back into your ears to discuss:

• Finland
• Paul McCartney
• Popcorn
• Tinned Bears

We all have things that REALLY annoy us, that other people think are inconsequential. In this insightful episode we discuss:

• Flags
• Inaccurate ironmongery
• Phil & the phone chord
• or…?

We’re back, we’ve reached the big 3-0, and just in time for Kev to keep his first 2022 bean!

This time out Ian asks us to sum up our jobs as a style of music which, as ever, leads to a meandering conversation covering, amongst many things…

• Kraftwerk
• Jazz
• Latin
• Shaggy

Its film review time, so don’t tune in this time out if you want to avoid any spoilers. We deliver in-depth film reviews of:

• The Embassy is in the Building
• Dr Omar’s Gang
• The Babydoll Knight
• Hassan & Marcus

Chris is trying to fill a cookbook he’s inexplicably been given a publishing deal to write, so we quickly brainstorm some ideas. We suggest:

• Ham Sandwiches
• Fisted Eggs
• The Heart of Gammon
• Croquettes

We talked about forming a supergroup formed only of newsreaders, in the process we discuss:

• All the newsreaders we could remember
• The “Grey Hemisphere”
• It all goes pervy
• Ians creative process

A episode that’s a month late, but guaranteed not to disappoint* we take a very quick detour from the starting question to discuss:

• How to attach sandpaper
• Dog kennels
• Double dipping chips
• The merits of various sauces

*Guarantee valid only for residents of care homes and Finland.

The big question raised in episode 25 was “can donkeys swim”? Chris found ‘an’ answer online. This is that answer, complete with much giggling.
