From today, a brand new show comes to the Sowerby & Luff podcast feed. It's the long-awaited all-new weekly series from Brian Luff, and the first 5 episodes will arrive on this feed in the next 24 hours. The "Luff Actually" podcast is crammed with dubious news items, woefully under-researched features and annoyingly underwhelming facts. Plus, rants, games, songs, special guests and a veritable cast of thousands. Meanwhile, the third season of Moth Hotel will start on 2nd January 2026 on Moth Hotel's dedicated podcast feed on Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Podcasts. Enjoy!
