Well somehow it is Tuesday again, which means we are gracing your ears with another episode! This week we bring you a humdinger of a show, chatting offences you can be charged with on a night out (spoiler: yes, we are looking at you...we see you peeing in the alleyway across from Yah Yah's on a Saturday night and no, it's not legal!). Of course, we sneak in some social commentary at the end about decriminalising the offence of public drunkenness. We say this every week, but this might be our favourite one yet. Happy listening folks!
