A Cheeky Coup with the Lads, Part II (feat. Joe Kassabian)
This is the follow up to this week's free episode, which is available here: https://trashfuturepodcast.podbean.com/e/a-cheeky-coup-with-the-lads-feat-joe-kassabian/
Why did a steely-eyed SAS veteran Etonian weirdo team up with Margaret Thatcher's son to try and launch a coup in Equatorial Guinea in 2004? Mostly because they were bored. In this episode we discuss the consequences of a dumb plot that was foiled by an errant bird and the Zimbabwean customs office.

Do you think this could be made into a film? Perhaps by Iannucci. Or Paul Verhoeven...
I was listening to this thinking I'd love to see a 5 part, Chernobyl style dramatisation of the life of Mark Thatcher.

Paywalled split episode? What is this? Champagne Sharks?
Don't put a second part of a multi-episode behind a paywall lads. Unlock it for the hogs after a month or so please if you want to encourage them to subscribe but don't freeze them out completely. You don't want to end up with a Black Wolf feed.
I want to stress you could not have made me happier than when i read the discription of this episode.
