You won't believe the Geoff Hurst bit.

From fleeting pop stardom and feature film roles to casual racism and drainage, we explore the curious and weird stuff footballers have got up to. We also discuss the dying art of the football song and wonder what the hell's Beckham done to his face.

Cometh the hour, cometh The Power

The PDC took darts to a new level with the likes of MVG, Jackpot, Snakebite and of course Phil Taylor but has The Power gone sour as he checks-out of his brilliant career?

05/05/2024

There's only one word for this - magic darts!

We celebrate the glory days of bullseyes and beer bellies, with big-mouth Bristow and not-so-cocky Jocky plus a supporting cast of Sid Waddell, Jim Bowen and The Pembrokeshire Serial Killer.

Here's Jim, so he is.

What about ye, listeners. We celebrate Big Jim McDonald and re-live his finest violent moments before conjuring up new roles for him as a TV detective, a p*ssed-up wrestler, bi-sexual cult leader and a fearless NewYork vigilante. It’s great craic, so it is.

Last week we hooked up to do another Nuclear-themed podcast but the pre-amble lasted much longer than usual. Here's the first part. Part 2 will be out on Boxing Day. Merry Christmas everyone.

Discussing the excellent 'Scarred For Life' podcast led us to down a very dark, danger-filled alley full of our own childhood scars such as Public Information Films, ghostly photographs and the weird and nasty TV anthologies.

24/12/2023

Merry Christmas to all you brilliant listeners out there. Just for you, there will be a new pod out later today.

"Fallout? I thought they did that in the army?"

Forget The Snowman, this is Raymond Briggs's masterpiece, a sad and haunting tale about a naive elderly couple trying to survive the initial onslaught of a nuclear war.

19/11/2023

A bonus ep*sode no less

Having attended the Manchester premiere of Jake West's brilliant documentary on Cliff we thought we'd have a little chat about it.
