This week, the Young’uns are getting a bit shirty with each other. We’ve advice for anyone seeking to end their lives in a fun and novel way. David Eagle showcases his cheaply and cynically produced football song that is destined to make him a millionaire. Puns this week feature whales, Jesus and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Other subjects covered include the Holiday Inn Express, and nipples. Musicwise, we’ve got live Young’uns and a track from Gavin Davenport’s latest album, and Gavin joins us on the phone to talk about music and phone apps.

The Young’uns Podcast 113: I Smell Woman! (featuring journalist and Author Emma Hartley and Jim Molyneux from 4Square and the old Dance School).
Young’uns podcast fans, your time of grieving is over. We’re back with the first podcast of 2013, and the first in our new weekly series. This week, we speak to journalist, author and folk music blogger Emma Hartley about her book Did David Hasselhoff End the Cold War? and she reveals information about her work in progress. We talk cats with Jim Molyneux from 4Square and The Old Dance School. There’s a spontaneous Young’uns in the mix courtesy of Sean Cooney’s malfunctioning car stereo. We reveal the football song with a difference. We discuss a rather unusual pulling technique witnessed on a London train, and we’ve anecdotes about supermarkets and the National Portrait Gallery.
Plus there’s music from 4Square and some live Young’uns.

The Young’uns Podcast 112: Christmas on Cassette Special
This week, David Eagle is back at his old home in Hartlepool. Limited equipment and temperamental technology means he has to resort to the unusual task of editing the Christmas Young’uns podcast on cassette tape. Included in this hissy, clunky Christmas podcast: The Young’uns attempt some Christmas covers; we present the world’s worst Christmas album; The Watersons meet the wombles; and we join the X9/X10 bus Xmas party for some carols.

Spend Christmas with The Young’uns
Now before you get too excited by the prospect of us poking out of your stocking Christmas morn, let me warn you that this is not that kind of invitation; although we might consider it for the right price, just as long as you’ve got a stocking big enough.
We would like to invite you all to a couple of free events that we’ll be hosting over Christmas.
This Sunday (16th December) Becky Unthank and the Young’uns host an informal afternoon of wassailing songs and carols in one of Manchester’s best pubs, the Briton’s Protection. We’ll be in the upstairs room from 2pm until about 5pm. Come along and join in the music if you’re a singer or musician, or just if you fancy a few festive drinks and hearing some Christmas songs in a great pub.
ON Saturday 22nd December, The Young’uns return home to Hartlepool. We’ll be singing and performing our Mummers play at the Town square Headland at 6pm, moving on through various Headland pubs and ending in the Fisherman’s Arms. If you can’t make it at 6pm, we’ll be updating our Twitter feed so you’ll know where we are (follow us here”, although be warned, tweets may become increasingly more incoherent as the night progresses and our states of inebriation increase.
We look forward to seeing you at one, or maybe both of these events.
