Hello there Dearest Listeners and Patrons. I think this might be one of the most - albeit accidental - narrative arc-ed podcasts we have ever produced.

Hello there dearest Patrons and listeners! Probably one of the biggest un-answered questions of our lifetimes isn't it. Yes, Vimto bears the Royal coat of arms, but who in the family has been a loyal supper of the greatest cordial of all time? Was it Liz? Was it, is it Chuck? was it Phil?
