Episode 138 - Live at the British Beef Council Awards incorporating the Women In Beef Prize and the Beef In Fiction Golden Hoof
Summary
This live recording from the London Podcast Festival features the 34th Annual British Beef Council Awards, hosted by a chaotic cast including Anthony McBisto, his robot assistant Antoinette, and Les Cheese impersonator Bootleg Cheese. The ceremony devolves into a murder mystery when McBisto is killed in a toilet, leading to the revelation that he was a former Nazi scientist who harvested women’s brains to create Antoinette. The killer is exposed as Genevieve, a French donkey meat heir seeking revenge, while the show concludes with a bizarre romantic resolution and the robot’s power failure.
