In this episode Matt and Benny kick back with a mixed bag of stories from the local rag, the Kraken Cove Clarion. It's a great paper, full of nothing but strange stories and bits of fun. No huge standout dives this week, just a catch up on headlines, silly stories and some listener input to send Matt and Benny down the usual convoluted warren of rabbit holes!

Yes, you heard it right, GNOMES!!!
You know what they are.... or do you?
An essential item in the 70's garden, also a kitsch addition to the modern garden perhaps, but what is a gnome, and why are we even interested in them?
Dive into the world of these wonderful little people with Matt and Benny, find out what the Hell is going on at the bottom of the garden, and perhaps solve some very mundane mysteries closer to home!

Welcome, one and all, to Kraken Cove Episdoe 70!!
Benny and Matt hit the beach for an unseasonal picnic, and while they sip a beer and snaffle a scotch egg, they indulge in a spot of casting!

Merry Christmas one and all from the crew at Kraken Cove Lighthouse!!
It's episode 65 and Matt & Benny are dry and warm by the fireside at Kraken Cove while the winter winds howl, and the light pours out across the bay.
But we cast that light in other directions too!
This week we look at the job vacancy for a King of Piel Island, there's Nana Baubles and her record breaking danglers, the totally tragic Mr Christmas, there's a TV celebrity who's jarred surprises might be the perfect gift for that special someone, Gemma Collins mum and her alien encounter, and finally we travel the world looking at those weird Yule traditions other cultures find perfectly normal at this time of year!
So raise a glass, tear of a drumstick and have a vicious drunken argument with your nearest and dearest, because it's time for CHRISTMAS KRAKEN COVE!
