Man of Letters

Episode 29 :: Amazon Adventures 3 – Yes! There’s More!!Mike returns to Amazon’s customer service line like a man who has learned nothing and fears nothing. He asks questions no human has ever asked, including whether Amazon can deliver existential clarity by Tuesday. The representative tries their best. They fail.

Episode 35 :: Family Matters Part INot your wholesome, heart‑warming, “gather round the table and pass the potatoes” kind of family. No. This is the kind of family drama that makes soap operas look like meditation retreats. Mike dives head‑first into a domestic situation so tangled it requires a flowchart, a mediator, and possibly a priest. Expect emotional whiplash, unsolicited advice, and at least one relative who definitely shouldn’t be allowed near a phone.

Episode 34 :: Hotel HellMike and I have stayed in some questionable hotels, but these places redefine “hospitality” in the same way a haunted house redefines “open plan living”. Think flickering lights, carpets with mysterious stains, and a receptionist who looks like they haven’t slept since 1998. Mike attempts to complain, but the hotel’s customer service philosophy appears to be “deny everything and offer a mint”.

Episode 33 :: Don’t Call Me Bev Pt. IIThe thrilling conclusion to the Beverley Saga. Loose ends are tied, tempers flare, and Mike discovers that calling someone “Bev” when they explicitly said not to is apparently a declaration of war. Expect emotional fireworks, passive‑aggressive sighing, and a finale so dramatic it should come with a slow‑motion replay.

Episode 32 :: Don’t Call Me Bev Pt. IBeverley enters the chat. Mike immediately makes it weird. What begins as a simple conversation spirals into a full‑scale identity crisis, a debate about nicknames, and a moment where Mike tries to justify himself using interpretive logic that would make a philosopher cry.

Episode 31 :: Criminal Matters Pt. IIThe alarm bells aren’t just ringing — they’re forming a choir. Mike continues to flirt with the legal system like it’s a Tinder date he’s not sure he should swipe on. The pranks escalate to the point where even we start Googling “how long is the sentence for mild chaos”.

Episode 30 :: Criminal Matters Pt. IMike dips a toe into the murky waters of petty crime. Then a foot. Then both legs. By the end he’s basically doing a cannonball into the deep end of “absolutely not allowed”. The episode is a masterclass in how to get dangerously close to trouble while maintaining the confidence of a man who thinks “laws are more like guidelines”.

Episode 28 :: Amazon Adventures IRound One. Mike vs. Amazon. A customer‑service smackdown for the ages. Mike attempts to purchase items that do not exist, should not exist, and in one case cannot exist according to the laws of physics. Amazon is confused. Mike is delighted.

Episode 27 :: Man of Letters Almost Live!Mike goes mobile. The microphone trembles. The public is unprepared. This episode is raw, unedited, and contains the kind of spontaneous chaos usually reserved for wildlife documentaries narrated by David Attenborough.

Episode 26 :: Phoney Phone Calls Pt. IIMore phone‑related phone calls. Because apparently that’s a genre now. Mike pushes the limits of what can be discussed on a phone call about phones, including whether a phone can call itself and if that counts as self‑care.

Episode 25 :: Phoney Phone Calls Pt. IEaster sugar highs collide with prank‑call mania. Mike is fuelled by chocolate, adrenaline, and the unshakeable belief that no one is too busy to answer a ridiculous question. The results are chaotic, sticky, and deeply unproductive.

Episode 24 :: Animal AnticsMike enters the animal kingdom. The animals immediately regret it. Expect confusion, miscommunication, and at least one moment where Mike attempts to negotiate with a creature that does not understand English, sarcasm, or the concept of customer service.

Episode 23 :: Home ServicesShort. Awkward. Painful. Like watching someone parallel park while you pretend not to judge them. Mike brings his pranks closer to home, and the home responds by filing a noise complaint.

Episode 22 :: Weatherly Heights Pt. IIFish. So many fish. Why are there so many fish. Mike pushes the limits of prank‑based aquatic humour until even the fish start questioning their life choices.

Episode 21 :: Weatherly Heights Pt. IWords fail. Mike does not. This episode contains pranks so baffling they defy description, logic, and possibly gravity.

Episode 20 :: Dangerous Pranks Part IIMike survives Part I. Miraculously. He immediately decides to tempt fate again. This episode contains more danger, more chaos, and more moments where you think “surely he won’t— oh, he did”.

Episode 19 :: Dangerous Pranks Part IThrills. Spills. Questionable decision‑making. Mike risks everything except his sense of humour. The episode ends with the audience shouting “NO” and Mike shouting “WHY NOT”.

Episode 18 :: Looking for LoveCupid resigns. Mike takes over. Romance collapses. Mike attempts to find true love using methods that would get most people banned from dating apps and possibly several countries.

Episode 17 :: Clucking HellChickens. Microphones. Existential dread. Mike attempts to answer the age‑old question: “What came first?” The chicken refuses to comment.

Episode 16 :: Online ServicesMike vs. the Internet. The Internet loses. Mike attempts to prank two tech giants and accidentally exposes his own lack of tech knowledge in the process. It’s like watching your dad try to use TikTok.

Episode 15 :: UPS SpecialMike investigates UPS. UPS wishes he wouldn’t. Packages go missing, tempers flare, and Mike asks whether a parcel can be delivered to “my emotional state”.

Episode 14 :: Birthday EditionMike turns another year older and absolutely not another year wiser. Expect pranks, cake, and at least one moment where Mike tries to convince someone it’s their birthday instead.

Episode 12 :: Christmas Crackers Part IIISanta’s hungover. Mike’s over‑excited. The result is a festive disaster with the energy of a school nativity where everyone forgot their lines.

Episode 13 :: Chugga ChuggaA train‑themed fever dream. There may be merch. There may be regret. There will definitely be confusion about timetables.

Episode 11 :: Christmas Crackers Part IIBoxing Day blues cured by pranks, turkey curry trauma, and the kind of family tension that could power a small village.

Test

Episode 9 :: eBay EndeavoursMike explores the darkest corners of eBay. He finds things. He should not have found things. At one point he attempts to buy something that may or may not be cursed.

Episode 8 :: Special DeliveryPackages. Confusion. A hut that isn’t a hut. Mike attempts to navigate the world of delivery services with the grace of a man juggling jelly.

Episode 7 :: Viva Scotland!Mike vs. Scottish transport. Scotland survives. Barely. Expect accents, chaos, and at least one moment where Mike is told to “away an’ bile yer heid”.

Episode 6 :: The Virgin SkyMike attempts to charm media providers. They are… uncharmed. Secrets are spilled. Discounts are demanded. Regret is universal.

Episode 5 :: Amazon AdventuresMike tries to become a pilot and buy imaginary books. Amazon is confused. Mike is delighted. Aviation authorities are concerned.

Episode 4 :: Bonfire Night SpecialExplosions, Katy Perry, and DIY that should never be attempted by anyone, ever. Mike lights fuses both literal and metaphorical.

Episode 3 :: Hallowe’en Special Part IIBlack cats. Pumpkins. Regret. Mike attempts to carve a pumpkin using methods that should be illegal.

Episode 2 :: Hallowe’en Special Part IPumpkin problems escalate into a full‑scale crisis. Mike learns that candles, plugs, and gourds do not mix.

Episode 1 :: LondonMike orders the impossible, joins a gym he shouldn’t, and attempts to erase evidence. A strong start. A worrying start. A very on‑brand start.
