Eight or Sixteen

”Raised on Countdown”

In another eclectic episode of Eight or Sixteen, Rob and Mark discuss everything from 1Password (again), to how boring the iPhone is. Sprinkle in a £3K headphone amp, Rob's shiny new debit card, and Mark's inability to recall the name of his favourite Ted Lasso character, and you'll at least have something to listen to while walking the dog.
