About this season
It’s a talk show like no other: one question, two guests and the man everyone agrees is this country’s least experienced interviewer. The question? If your house was about to be destroyed, what two things would you save?

There's confusion and a healthy dose of tedium when Jeopardy champion Larry Sprechen answers each of Shaun's questions in the form of a question.

Aired 28 August 2024 • 36 min
Shaun's telepathic powers accidentally cause a guest's head to explode mid-anecdote (like in the film Dirty Dancing) and Shaun is forced to apologise.
4. Robyn Butler and Jimmy Rees
Aired 4 September 2024 • 36 min
Shaun daringly subverts the chat show format by interviewing a small bird through the language of mime while playing a hammered dulcimer (the bird, not Shaun).
5. Peter Helliar and Usman Khawaja
Aired 11 September 2024 • 36 min
Shaun interviews Richard Nixon in this exclusive and very special episode. Given Nixon has been dead since 1994, the conversation is a little one-sided.
6. Pia Miranda and Zachary Ruane
Aired 18 September 2024 • 36 min
Shaun Micallef chats with actor Pia Miranda and Aunty Donna's Zachary Ruane about what items they would save in the event of a disaster.
7. Mary Coustas and Tim Rogers
Aired 25 September 2024 • 36 min
Luis Bunuel is guest director for this extraordinarily confusing episode. The interview consists entirely of close-ups of eyes. It's impossible to tell who the guests are.
8. Nazeem Hussain and Poh Ling Yeow
Aired 2 October 2024 • 36 min
Shaun interviews Sir John Mills about From Here to Eternity (1953). Given Sir John is not in the film and hasn't seen it, his knowledge is limited to what's on Wikipedia
