Banging on your eardrums and vibrating your vestibular nerves, it's this week's episode of Button Boys so listen closely, as the topic is sounds. Sounds good, sounds bad, sounds you'll never forget. There are squelches, pings and rattles aplenty, and for the detectives amongst you, a little quiz at the end. But first, we catch up on what the gang are up to: Sarah's a little lost in the weeds with Expedition 33, Pierre's experiencing life as a mum through the medium of sci-fi grand strategy and Glenn has never watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Ever. Like, not once.
