This could be the big showdown for Jelly Trumpet. It’s the last episode of the season. Will our hapless crew survive one final challenge to the podcast? I’m always learning stuff from Jelly Trumpet, like some castles have a doorbell. Will Nigel, the giant squirrel, be rescued? Why was he abducted? What is his future?

The podcast is in BIG trouble. First, Nigel, the giant squirrel goes missing. A mystery is about to unfold and will Jim, Mr b and the Queen be able to solve the squirrel disappearance? Just why is Queen Eleanor practicing her sword play? Will this come in handy? Thank heavens for Queen Eleanor and a…

Just why do they have a consulting detective in the cupboard under Mr b’s mixing desk? The Quentin Tarantino episode continues with Jim trying a different group of code names, based on fruit. The Queen, bless her, has trained Nigel (the squirrel, the size of a St Bernard dog) to be a ‘sniffer squirrel’, which…

The podcast is in trouble. Nope. Not from the usual things like Japanese Anime characters or Victorian villains, this is far worse. We join the podcast as Mr b is typing his list of favourite Quentin Tarantino movies.

What an earth is she doing on Treasure Island? “Gulp!”  Meanwhile, our resident voice over guy, Tony, appears to be having a break down. Just who is ‘Sharon’ and more importantly what is ‘Sharon?’

In which we find Mr b lobbying for his new button, the orange one to be used in the episode. Jim is cagey. Nigel (resident giant squirrel) has discovered a new instrument that might be less annoying than his bongos, let’s hope eh? Sadly, inevitably and Mr b, they land the Jelly Trumpet podcast on…

Another attempt is made to return Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine back to her own century (you’re not holding your breath are you)? Mr b wants to trail a new button, much to Jim’s worry. In fact, the worry could possibly be PPSS, Post Podcast Sadness Syndrome. Mr b and the Queen cajole Jim, ‘The Writer…
