After nine previous episodes, Dave and Trev wrap up Series 1 with a recap of all that’s unfolded on the show over the past six months.

The duo reflect on memorable guests, including Jo Hughes, the business owner from Episode 3, and Andrew Frost, the lender from Episode 9. Between these, there’s been a mix of other guests, some awful humour, and a quiz effort that didn’t quite capture the audience’s enthusiasm.

Since the founding of The Guild of Business Finance Professionals on June 6th, it seems fitting that future shows will align with the Guild to strengthen it's growing membership and communication channels.

As for Series 2, plans remain hidden under a big red blanket and still waiting for a clear direction. In the meantime, Dave and Trev will continue their playful mission to conquer South America, ponder a world tour, consider selling out to Netflix, or perhaps go off gallivanting with their showbiz pals, Mr Benedict Cumberbatch and Ms Gillian Anderson.

For more market updates and buffoonery, stay tuned for Series 2—coming to all nearby mobile phones in November/sometime soon!

On this penultimate episode of Series 1, David and Trevor enjoy a lively conversation with Andrew Frost from Genesis Asset Finance, a family business with nearly 25 years of experience lending to small businesses.

Andrew, now leading the company alongside his brother Edward, offers his candid perspective on the current marketplace, emphasising that lending is an "art," not a "science." He speaks passionately about the importance of personal connections in business, such as meeting customers face-to-face and working closely with intermediaries. This approach highlights the company's traditional values in a rapidly evolving industry.

As usual, the podcast gets lost down a pathway of both serious and light-hearted topics. In a fun twist, this episode marks the milestone of the podcast being downloaded on every continent, after finally reaching Bolivia—unlocking the long-closed and bolted South American "door."

On the lighter/darker side, "toilet chat" makes its debut, and there's a quirky introduction to the Royal Family of Bhutan, all in line with the usual mix of serious insights and awful banter that has become a flaw and frailty of the show.

This episode also welcomes the podcast’s first external sponsor, Finance Technology Services Limited, and introduces a new website that gathers all the key people and moments from the podcast's journey so far.

As with all of the 'Little Fillers' to date, David & Trevor have tried to keep the content short, sweet and engaging. Despite their best efforts, the chat bounces from one extreme to another and many are forced to switch off and never to return!

Following the last episode, the conversation around mental health was spoken about with Gordon Larson and the feedback received was interesting and hence it was felt necessary to raise this important subject again.

Trevor decides to become a Quiz Master...and fails, leaving David bemused by the unfair scoring that was implemented...and David surprises Trevor with an alleged fan message sent to him by Gillian Anderson, yes, the American actress best known for her X-Files and Sex Education.

Finally, Trevor leaks out a personal secret that David has been keeping under wraps and now there is an unwanted and unnecessary competition between Oasis and David to see who can sell the most tickets. Currently, Oasis are ahead by a supernova and more.

Enjoy
