Cooper and Cary reunite for one special jingly episode recorded at the end of 2025, looking back on their book highlights and lowlights of the year. Against the Machine by Paul Kingsnorth is given the third degree. James explains why there are a number of books he has some serious problems with (I'm looking at you, George RR Martin). Barry's read some Thomas Hardy. Seriously. Very seriously. And Cary does not care for The Way We Live Now by Trollope.

And so adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu. What have we learned in seven years? What's changed? How have we changed - and why are conservative evangelicals so reluctant to admit to changing? I guess the clue is in the title... Anyway, here are Cooper & Cary's Last Words, with a few fresh jingles as well as some golden oldies.
