  • The inseminator

    The interview was interesting but I feel he was judgmental and didn’t really understand the repercussions of his actions. England is small and people will inevitably be unassuming getting close to siblings

  • The backbone of podcasting

    I’ve listened to every episode since the beginning and it’s by far the most consistent podcast in my collection in terms of quality content, audio recording (which can sometimes be distracting on other shows) and entertainment. Both Ollys (Ollie’s?) have a great rapport and although I’m not overly bothered about the Foxhole section I can see its appeal. The only suggestion I’d have for a new section would be a “weird world” feature; a five minute report on something that the mainstream news hasn... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Playback: The Knock At The Door
Q: What was the reality of the first week there?
The first week was terrifying and overwhelming; I faced a demanding class without training, felt pressured by the recruitment process, and began noticing red flags like the lack of a formal contract and visa constraints.
Playback: The Knock At The Door
Q: What did they say to you in the interview?
They told me I would be trained in China for a teaching role, with promises of a decent wage and visa-related trips, but the reality was that I lacked proper qualifications and training.
My Deepfake Nightmare
Q: Tell us first of all, in a more informed way than we were ad libbing last month, what prediction betting actually is.
Prediction betting is a peer-to-peer market where people buy and sell 'yes' or 'no' shares on whether a future event will occur, with odds that move as probability estimates shift, allowing buyers to cash out before the event.
Playback: The REAL California Schemin'
Q: How did the adventure end?
It hadn't truly ended; Bain describes ongoing personal and musical evolution, including a painful but transformative period that led to a decision to pursue authentic music and life changes, rather than continuing the deception.
Playback: I Need To Lie Down
Q: How did you start feeling pain as a dancer?
Raquel discusses the initial twinge of pain during rehearsals and the eventual escalation to chronic pain.
