    American Chocolate... is it actually chocolate?

    🍫 Butterfingers & US “Chocolate” We review Butterfingers and ask the important question: how does American “chocolate” keep getting away with this? 🦎 A New Wildlife Discovery Scientists have found something new in the wild. Naturally, we have opinions despite knowing very little about it. 📺 Colin From Accounts Richie and Chris discuss Colin From Accounts — a TV show featuring romance, awkwardness and a dog doing a lot of the heavy lifting. 👻 Planning a Comedy Horror Can Richie and Chris come up with a horror film that is actually funny? Or will they just make something deeply unsettling? 🍂 Chris Finds One Good Thing About Autumn After years of apparently having nothing good to say about the season, Chris has finally found one positive. 🤖 PLUS — Virtual Reality on Patreon Over on Patreon, Richie and Chris enter the world of virtual reality to find out whether it really is the future… or just an expensive way of bumping into things in your living room. 🎙️ Mildly Informed returns, with Absolute Radio’s Richie Firth and The Bugle’s Chris Skinner once again tackling life’s most important questions… and answering almost none of them. This week’s episode is a glorious mixture of American confectionery, wildlife, television, horror and the unlikely discovery that Chris has something nice to say about autumn. It’s another episode that jumps from Butterfingers to horror films to virtual reality with absolutely no sensible route between them — exactly how it should be. 👉 Support Richie & Chris here: patreon.com/mildlyinformed Hosted on Acast.

    Flight Chaos, Leaky Pipes & A Floating Island

    ✈️ Flight Chaos London Airports broke down this week and Chris was caught in the middle 🚰 Richie’s Leaky Pipe A small plumbing problem becomes a surprisingly large part of Richie’s life. 🏝️ The Mysterious Floating Island An island that appears to be floating. Naturally, we have questions. 🤖 Chatbots — Patreon Review Over on Patreon, Richie and Chris put chatbots to the test. Are they genuinely useful, dangerously confident, or just very good at pretending they know what they’re talking about? 🎙️ Mildly Informed returns, with Absolute Radio’s Richie Firth and The Bugle’s Chris Skinner once again tackling life’s most important questions… and answering almost none of them. This week’s episode is a proper mixed bag — travel chaos, domestic disasters, geographical mysteries and, on Patreon, an investigation into whether chatbots are actually any good. It’s another episode that goes from flight delays to floating islands with absolutely no warning — exactly how it should be. 👉 Support Richie & Chris here: patreon.com/mildlyinformed Hosted on Acast.

    Helch, 21st Birthdays & Naughty By-Elections

    🇭 A Tribute to Helch A moment to remember a true street art icon. Helch may be gone, but the Mildly Informed lads aren't letting the legacy disappear without a proper send-off. 🎂 Are 21st Birthdays Actually Meaningful? Richie isn't convinced. Is turning 21 really a milestone, or just another birthday that we've collectively decided is a big deal? 🗳️ The By-Election Trend: Naughty But Fun We take a look at the increasingly entertaining world of by-elections. What makes them so unpredictable — and why do they always seem to get a little bit naughty? 🎙️ Mildly Informed is the comedy podcast where Absolute Radio's Richie Firth and The Bugle's Chris Skinner tackle life's big questions, small annoyances and whatever they've become weirdly interested in that week. This time, they pay tribute to Helch, question the entire concept of the 21st birthday and take a look at the current trend for by-elections — which, frankly, seems to be getting rather entertaining. It's birthdays, politics and Helch. Somehow, it all makes sense. 👉 Support Richie & Chris and get bonus episodes every week: patreon.com/mildlyinformed Hosted on Acast.
