As you probably know, earlier this year Sound Heap Inc. lost a lot of money by signing a 'golden handcuffs' deal with French President Emmanuel Macron.  This left the once-thriving Sound Heap Podcast Network with just one show: Rememberama, the podcast where people remember things. And now Sound Heap CEO and Fun Captain John-Luke Roberts has tried four other ways of dealing with this - denying it had happened, being angry at everyone, trying to cut a deal and just being sad, he's decided to accept what's going on. So please enjoy these clips from the show which would be Sound Heap's best podcast even if it wasn't Sound Heap's only podcast: Rememberama. This week you'll hear people remembering:Louis Theroux revealing that pokémon weren't realThe episode of Rainbow that made it clear that Zippy had an anusBanksy's latte artLondon 2012's controversial Olympic mascotThe McDonald's advert that... the advert which... ...What?Sound Heap was created and hosted by John-Luke Roberts, and featured Andy Barr, Margaret Cabourn Smith,  Saima Ferdows, Alice Fraser, Josh Gondelman, Derek Mitchell, Joz Norris, Ada Player, Marjolein Robertson, Piotr Sikora, Lorna Rose Treen and Bilal Zafar. The original music is by Paddy Gervers and Rob Sell at Torch & Compass, and the show was mixed by Rich Evans at Syncbox Post. It was produced and edited by Ed Morrish for Lead Mojo productions.
