Rhett & Combo meet some suspicious people
Some times the vibes are just off. Sometimes guests walk around the park looking particularly sketchy, like they're up to no good. And sometimes you meet two lovely guests like Big Jeff and Puck (Eleanor Stankiewicz & Marcel Blanch-de Wilt) who completely subvert your expectations.

Rhett & Combo meet a child
Families are the bread and butter of a park like Cardigan-on-Durge: Destination Fun, but today we are chatting with an unattended child. Kyle (Sarah Wells) is a rollercoaster enthusiast and he thinks Rhett and. Combo are very cool. He's right.

Rhett & Combo meet a Council official
The park runs like a well oiled machine, but sometimes a responsible adult has to come and check that oil is fresh and the machine is running at the advertised speed. That's why Council Inspector Tim Jimpson (Lucy Glover) and his clipboard are in the park. I hope everything is above board.

Rhett & Combo meet a Lord and a HR manager
As you might know, the park is built on the grounds of Barton Manor, and in an all time podcast coup Rhett & Combo have managed to pin down an exclusive interview with none other than Lord Barton himself (Ben Goldsmith), unfortunately that means HR Manager Linda (Katie Davison) needs to be in attendance to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Rhett & Combo meet the staff of The Cardigan Tavern
It's very exciting when a new restaurant opens because it means we get to meet a whole new bunch of people, and the Medieval Zone just got an intriguing new eatery and gift shop (or Shoppe?). We chow down on suckling pig and Pina Coladas with restaurant manager Helen (Sarah Lewis) and her young apprentice Wraith (Luke Healey).
Rhett & Combo meet an Italian man
Mama Mia! Rhett and Combo talk all things pasta with regular park visitor and proud father Giovanni (Josh Glanc). Supermarkets, collages, ape abuse, nothing is off limits.
