The myriad stories that interweave throughout 'Boxer' and beyond all come together as we take a final look at the record as a whole.

We consider what it means to end the album in a garden, beneath holiday rainbow lights and with a nice icy drink in your hand.

Boxer's young professional takes a look in the mirror and asks us: "What is it all worth?"

We enter "prison for jerks" and find two people struggling to escape this relationship jail of their own making.

The (im?)possibility of reconciliation is explored in 'Start A War', and when the right time is to walk away. Plus, how identical twins approach guitar harmonies.

The album hits its mid-point and a fork in the roads: to go to the party, or to stay in? We explore the pros and cons of socialising and the curious lure of home.

This episode we find a tender exploration of humans, their objects, and the connections we form.
