Similar in nature to recent world-dominating favourite SCOUT – has this slim little box got what it takes to dethrone the king? Have a little watch… to find out…

Read MoreThis August In Shut Up & Sit Down!
Tom: AaaAA! CHAOS MONTH!
I’ve been internally referring to August as ‘Big Month’ for the past few weeks but the more time I spend sort-of-planning-it-out the more I realise a better way to describe it might be ‘CHAOS MONTH’.
We’ve got some videos planned! What are they, and when are they coming out? Science bears no answers.
Podcasts? Oh yeah, we’ve got a few, and they’ll be near your ears… soon? Yeah, probably! Help.

CHAOS MONTH!
