Show Notes: S05, E07 - How Do I Lose a Guy Within 10 Days?
Once upon a time, when Agony Art was just beginning, Liam said he thought our episodes should be 30 minutes long, maximum. Fast forward to 2025, and in one episode of series 5 (this one), the very same Liam spends 30 minutes just talking about Take That. What's that all about?! Listen now to find out.
Here's all the art we recommended.
(Art we only mentioned in passing, and never intended as a problem-solving recommendation, is in italics.)
Underlined items are this week's top picks from each of our presenters. If you're only going to try one of the pieces of art we mentioned, try these ones first.
