Would you moo for the job?
Scott heard about a group interview where applicants were asked to crawl on all fours and moo like cows.
The supposed purpose was to test whether candidates were fun and lacked inhibitions.
Scott regarded it as a power play rather than a meaningful assessment.
Members of the team were ordered to recreate the exercise, with varying levels of enthusiasm.
Listeners shared other strange interviews involving aeroplane impressions, chicken walks and singing loudly in showrooms.
The Birthday Game: Claire
Counsellor and therapist Claire returned after previously texting the programme from her bath during the working day.
She explained that freelancing allowed her schedule to look very different from a conventional office routine.
Claire played the Friday Birthday Game and brought a calm, therapeutic tone to Scott’s questions.
Carers Week
Scott spoke again to Charlotte, who had previously appeared on the Birthday Game.
Charlotte had cared for her mother since her teenage years after her father died.
She described taking responsibility for prescriptions, shopping, technology and emotional support while also helping her mother manage severe anxiety about leaving the house.
Scott used the conversation to recognise the practical and emotional work carried out by unpaid carers.
The Wonder Years
The Friday Wonder Years rounded out the programme with listener memories and songs from successive years.
Handover
Scott handed over after Carers Week and the bizarre-interview debate.
