A hefty update for the Leek Club fans as we approach the endgame! In this episode Chris harnesses the power of prayer for personal gain, Sunil tours a private library of mucky books and James gets nerdy about arcade games.
We’re performing a Rural Concerns live show in Manchester (UK) on 22nd November 2025! It’s going to be a heady mix of slander, skits and choice-based adventure gaming! Grab your tickets here.
Series two of Chris' radio show Icklewick FM has just dropped on BBC Sounds! It's also on BBC Radio 4 at 11pm for the next few weeks!
If you have a Rural Concern you can send us an email to christopher@alovelytime.co.uk. We promise we’ll be very kind!
