This episode features a live recording of Rab retelling a Medieval LGBT sex comedy that includes the tale of an Inishbofin monk kidnapped by Sky Demons. Rab came across the story as he and Kerry were researching the next part of The Wicked Skull Thief of Inishbofin. Kerry and Rab also discuss the background to the medieval tale, and how it was cancelled by the newly independent Irish state.
