    Episode 0028 - Mischief

    We solemnly swear that we were up to no good – well that’s kind of true. This week we talk about getting into trouble in our younger years. Were we saints or sinners?

    Episode 0027 – Family

    In this episode we take our family members and immortalise them in digital form. Find out more about Mikes barking mad (literally) uncle, Owen's weird uncle Rod - and many other positive and not so positive members of our respective families. Its a little emotional, but we are sending this precious cargo into cyberspace where future generations will relive, through the medium of podcast - our memories of families growing up.

All this and more are discussed in this weeks episode.

    Episode 0024 – Films

    Way back before portable electronic devices, nestled amongst toys, TV and playing with friends – films played a huge part of our earlier lives. Back then watching a film was an event, both the process and the screening. In this episode we recall the sweet sweet memories – and reflect – was there really no bad films (apart from Fantasia)…?

    Episode 0021 – Music

    We take you on an audio adventure as we discuss the music that influenced our formative years. Back when Michael Jackson was the reigning king of pop to when Mr Blobby took over the charts and everything in-between. Was Owen the one with the musical taste, or did Mike have a deeper connection with music. How do we rate "Man in the mirror" out of 10? All of these questions and many more irrelevancies are answered in the premier of season 2!
