Explicit content

Sometimes this is people talking the way they do, and the language can be, eh – colourful. In extreme cases I’ve beeped the more exotic word or two.  Some adult themes may not be the kind of thing you’d want your kids to hear either. I’ve marked episodes with a,”riddy” 😳, which indicates profanity or adult themes where that happens.

Riddy – Noun. Scots: a red face. get a … : to blush, to show  embarrassment, Lit: to have a red face.
