At the end of a truly crappy 2020 we offered the opportunity to TWISC listeners to nominate their winners for a range of ‘awards’* to ‘celebrate’ the best, worst and oddest happenings of the year.
With a first guest appearance of DSC writer and regular TWISC question curator Ryan Kish, the show predictably spirals off the chosen path into the nuclear wasteland of 2020 pet peeves and carnage.
(Note – above is not a 2020 image but it cheered me up briefly)
