Simon's out and Zoe's in this week as we discuss Alan's chair slide, caller Samantha's 'fat arms', Nick's bootie love and the trouble with caller anonymity. We also ask the large questions: Has Alan ever finished a book? Are we mellowing in tandem with Alan? How does Mid Morning Matters stack up against Classic Partridge? // Join us for the Mid Evening Matters tour: monkeytennispod.com
Ep 45 // Shadow & Tax: Mid Morning Matters S1E5
Quease! Glands! Hamza! Palm piss! In this week's slightly manky episode we see what happens when Partridge goes Paxman, celebrate the return of capes and put Alan vs. the millionaire, ridiculous LinkedIn people and Alan's earnings under the microscope. We also play a quiz which is conducted entirely fairly and we all definitely agree is just a bit of fun. // We're on tour in Sept! Tix + info: monkeytennispod.com
Ep 44 // Chucky & Traitor: Mid Morning Matters S1E4
It's Alan on Alan on art on art on ancestry on ancestry on air rifles on air rifles this week. Other hot topics: Simon's weed habit, Chucky Egg (the meal of the north), the real Seal and - the return of JembAlan? Plus there's the small matter of 'a sidekick's betrayal'. // Catch us on tour this September: monkeytennispod.com
Ep 43 // Idiom & Inception: Mid Morning Matters S1E3
We welcome all FOP (Fans of Partridge) as we dive into Alan's Twitter track record, bad callers and the MMM timespan. We also look into Alan's healthy anus (figuratively), the dark core of his callers, discuss the folk stylings of Will O'The Wisp and try to answer the question "What's the best thing?" // Bristol, Manchester + London: We're coming to you live.

Ep 42 // Mustard & Pepper: Mid Morning Matters S1E2
How funny IS Sidekick Simon? Why film in just a couple of rooms? Did Herbie really go bananas? Just a few questions answered this week. In addition, expect Billie Piper facts 'coming out the wazoo', and we talk hometown heroes, fowl play and the curse of 'Tottenham Cartoon'. Plus: We play Alan's Surname Mastermind and Fakenham or Realenham. Ooh, that's mustard. // PS. WE'RE GOING ON TOUR. Details + tickets: monkeytennispod.com
Episode 36 // Mid Morning Matters S1E1: Broth & Muppet LIVE
This week we make our first foray into Mid Morning Matters, in front of an intimate live audience at Warner Music HQ; as part of their comedy events series. Sadly Adam didn't make it past Chiswick Roundabout for this recording, so you're left in the capable hands of Tom, Tom and Nick.
We try to answer the big questions - but don't necessarily succeed - including: why was Anthea Turner the most hated woman in Britain? Is Bill Oddie actually okay? Is radio beamed down from space? And, most disturbingly, which muppets are we going to kill? This is great banter. It really is.
