Seaside Pod Review - 8 June 2023: Kev and Randy presenting. Starts with them catching up. “Third base coach!” Randy is in the ass of Moosejaw. Alan Partridge apple pie. Listener feedback. The best genital wart. Listener messages about the previous episode subject - Breakthru. “If you’re not laughing then you’re learning!” “Chugga chugga!” Randy doesnt like American Pie by Don MacLean. Do you know what…? I think American Pie goes on for about two minutes longer than it should. Good song that goes on longer than it should. A bridge section would have helped American Pie. “A little bit, erm, shit?” One of the listeners didn’t get laid at the time because the girl wasn’t a Queen fan! Hey, good choice, man. She didn’t deserve you, dude! 34 minutes in they go to the main part of the show, which is to discuss the random song of the week, Tie Your Mother Down from the album A Day At the Races. A song that had been around since 1970. The intro ties into the song White Man, that appears later on the same album. Anecdote about Randy’s bassist. After listening to the album version they listen to an unplugged version by Brian May. Discussion about the opening on the album version. Kev, the first Beatles album was recorded in one day. Kev tells us about where he’s been sweating in bed - TMI! lol 😂 ooh, someone else is doing the outro speech. Kev or Randy’s wife?

Garrison Keillor's Podcast - 22 June 2024: *The beauty of falls that you walk away from - I fell twice crossing 89th Street, once in the middle of the street, once at the curb. I misjudged the step, crashed down on my hands and knees and chin, and once I walked into a tree branch on the path around the Central Park Reservoir and got plonked on my keister, and each time strangers rushed to my side to ask if I was okay and I said I was and jumped up but now I see these falls were a turning point in my life. Once you come crashing down, there is no longer a need to have a smart opinion about everything; you're simply part of the human race. Your job is to be a biped rather than a quad. As Scripture says, It is God who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.And so long as you can stand up and baa, you can do comedy. I have a good sense of sentence structure and my vocabulary is exemplary. Thanks to my aunts Elsie and Margaret, I speak clearly. They listened to me recite my verse in Sunday school and said, "We could understand every word." From Ephesians and Ecclesiastes to stand-up comedy is a hop and a jump.

Garrison Keillor's Podcast - 29 June 2024: *Spring is here, time to get to know each other - Myself, I have a bias in favor of public education because that was my experience. I came from very exclusive fundamentalist evangelicals who looked down on Methodists and Lutherans as Scripturally off-base, so when I left home and walked into public school, I found myself among — O my gosh! - Catholic kids, boys who took the Lord's name in vain and told dirty jokes, girls who hung out with those boys. A nice Christian boy felt rather lonely at times.

Daily Life Pro Tips - 26 April 2024

Comicbook Nation - season 7 episode 5: 31 January 2025: a sleeveless Kofi and Janell are joined by Evan Valentine covering for Matt being away on assignment. Small bit of controversy shown by the header image (that isn’t the Apple Podcasts image) - James Gunn releasing new footage from Superman, which includes a bit of flying. I’ll admit that I’m not personally fond of the flight technique, but we will see what it’s like in the film. Oh, it’s the use of the fisheye lens that people are moaning about? Another controversy - awkward Anthony Mackie moment. The promotional restrictions and past experiences. Netflix series One Piece season two more likely coming in 2026. “The time of streaming tv is over.” Scream 7 news. New animated Marvel TV series on Disney Plus - Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man. Star Trek Section 31 film on Paramount Plus. What Kofi and Evan say has disappointed me, because I loved section 31 in Deep space Nine. Severance season two reactions. Paradise on Hulu (Disney Plus outside of the US). Superman Lex, Luthor, special comic.

 

Naked Scientists In Short - 13 November 2015: *Puberty Timing and Health - Can you remember when your voice broke? / According to conventional wisdom most men can't, but women have very strong memories of their first period. This means that studies of puberty timing have struggled to investigate effects in men. However, new work from the University of Cambridge has shown that men have much more reliable memories than once thought as Dr Felix Day explained to Connie Orbach.
