    EP208 | RAT SH*T CRUISES & ONE-STAR MELTDOWNS: The Internet Has Lost It

    This week on Topicopedia, Nicole is horizontal, Ste is ranting, Uncle Jerry is lurking, and the internet has somehow got even more ridiculous. We kick things off with listener feedback, postcards, pirate weekend, body reprogramming, and the return of lavatorial profanity. Then it’s time for Notable News of the Week, featuring David Attenborough turning 100, politics getting messier than ever, a deeply unpleasant hantavirus cruise story involving rat droppings, and one surprisingly wholesome tornado kitten. Then we dive into some of the most ridiculous one-star reviews ever written, including complaints that waterfalls are wet, zoos have animals, blackout curtains make rooms dark, weighted blankets are heavy, and mirrors keep showing exhausted people. This week’s unsolved mystery looks at the disappearance and suspected murder of Claudia Lawrence, one of the UK’s most haunting missing person cases. We talk through the timeline, the rumours, the investigation, the lack of CCTV, and why the case still feels so frustrating all these years later. Plus: productivity hacks get judged in Follow Fast or Scroll Past, Meme of the Week returns, and the jokes go exactly where you’d expect them to go.

    EP207 | EP 207 | 69 SH*TS & A WHEELIE BIN: Topicopedia’s Most Unhinged Episode Ever

    This week on Topicopedia, Uncle Jerry has been let loose on the socials, Andy is basically producing the show now, and somehow we end up doing what can only be described as a full public service announcement about different types of poo. We kick things off with listener feedback, pasty chat, four-day week dreams, podcast copyright chaos, political misery, awkward food memories and the kind of notable news that makes you wonder whether anyone should be allowed near a microphone. Then it’s time for Raise the Bar, where Nicole brings us an alarmingly detailed guide to the many different types of dump - including the perfect dump, the empty-roll emergency, the Houdini dump, and the unforgettable “oh shit shit.” In Exhibit A, we dive into the bizarre and chilling murder of Julia Wallace, a real-life mystery involving a strange phone call, a fake address, a suspicious alibi and one of the most debated murder cases in British history. Plus, Follow Fast or Scroll Past returns with lazy girl meals, Meme of the Week gets suspiciously vote-rigged, and the jokes section goes exactly as badly as you’d expect. Strong language, toilet humour, murder, cheap meals, and Uncle Jerry. So basically, a normal week. #Topicopedia #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #BritishPodcast #FunnyPodcast #TrueCrimePodcast #UnsolvedMystery #JuliaWallace #MurderMystery #ToiletHumour #DarkHumour #NotableNews #MemeOfTheWeek #UKPodcast #PodcastEpisode #FunnyChat #AdultHumour #ComedyChat #TrueCrimeComedy #UncleJerry 00:00 – Intro: Uncle Jerry’s social media crime scene.02:20 – Tech garbage and the "Bike Turnaround" health kick.05:45 – The Pasty Manifesto: Rose vs. Ginsters.08:35 – Producer Andy’s jaunty feedback and innuendo updates.17:10 – Notable News: Copyright takedowns and the Ayr Wheelie Bin incident.28:20 – Celebrity Traitors 2026 cast list and Trump's UFO files.35:10 – The Great Poo Compendium: 69 shades of brown.51:48 – Exhibit A: The impossible timeline of the Julia Wallace murder.01:03:00 – Real estate tips: Checking if someone died in your house.01:06:30 – Follow Fast or Scroll Past: The "Lazy Girl Meal" edition.01:13:00 – Meme & Jokes: The duck, the ham-bush, and the handsaw.

    EP206 | EP206 | She’s A 4, But She Can Reach The Yellow... 🍭

    This week on Topicopedia, Ste and Nicole are back with another beautifully chaotic episode full of questionable rankings, terrible jokes, odd news, listener feedback and one very dark true crime case. We kick things off with hangovers, hot tub cleaning, Sunday sadness, shoplifting rants, Wetherspoons plates, and Andy’s latest feedback — including a few brutal “they’re a 10 but…” suggestions. Then it’s Notable News of the Week, featuring Trump assassination attempt chat, political weirdness, monkeys eating soil after too much junk food, a cruise passenger suing after allegedly being over-served, a naked pond mermaid, and a town centre described simply as “crap.” After that, we play “She’s a 4… but…”, where a hot dog champion, Star Wars fans, expert skiers, cherry stalk skills, older parents, Keanu Reeves, life-ruining secrets and one criminal Rickroll all get rated in the only way Topicopedia knows how: badly. This week’s Exhibit A looks at the murder of Gemma Hayter, a deeply disturbing case about vulnerability, cruelty, bullying and betrayal. Then we recover badly with Follow Fast or Scroll Past, judging viral “hot girl healthy foods” including date bark, protein yoghurt bowls, cucumber salad, high protein wraps, green goddess salad, strawberry chocolate bites and air fryer sweet potato cubes. Plus: Meme of the Week, complimenting the chef a bit too literally, and listener-submitted jokes that absolutely should not be repeated in polite company. Listen, laugh, judge us, and then head to Topicopedia.online to vote for Meme of the Week or send us your own nonsense. 00:03:00 - Nicole’s night out, hangovers and bedrotting 00:06:00 - Ste’s new weekends, Sunday boredom and hot tub cleaning 00:11:40 - Andy’s feedback returns 00:13:30 - Shoplifting, store theft and whether society can be trusted 00:18:00 - The awkward fertility clinic story 00:22:20 - Wetherspoons plates, public seats and anxiety thoughts 00:25:00 - Andy’s “they’re a 10 but…” list 00:27:52 - Notable News of the Week 00:37:51 - She’s a 4… but 00:46:13 - Exhibit A: The murder of Gemma Hayter 00:55:00 - Follow Fast or Scroll Past: hot girl healthy foods 01:07:58 - Meme of the Week 01:15:00 - Jokes of the Week #Topicopedia #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #UKPodcast #FunnyPodcast #DarkHumour #BritishPodcast #PodcastEpisode #NotableNews #MemeOfTheWeek #TrueCrimePodcast #GemmaHayter #SheIsAFourBut #AdultComedy #PodcastClips #SpotifyPodcast #YouTubePodcast #ComedyChat #ListenerFeedback #ViralTopics

    Stop working a 9-to-5 and start bottling your own air. 💨🫙 In Episode 205, Ste and Nicole break down the ultimate recession-proof side hustle: Selling your farts in a jar for big money. Nicole reveals her "scientific" underwater capture method and explains exactly why there is a booming market for... well, that. But it’s not all business. We’re also diving into the psychology of "Little Treat Culture" (and why your iced coffee is the reason you’re broke), playing a chaotic round of "He’s a 10, but...", and finding out why Uncle Jerry is officially banned from every family gathering. Finally, we take a dark turn into the main feature: The tragic and mysterious murder of Mary Jane Voller.

    EP203 | Dissolving Bodies & Whey Too Much Protein

    Welcome back to Topicopedia, the podcast that somehow gets weirder every week while Ste’s life remains "predictable". In Episode 203, Steve kicks things off with a passionate rant about the bizarre and potentially illegal world of TikTok Lives—from "scoop" scams to the sale of dangerous self-defense items. We then shift gears for Exhibit A, where we dive into the chilling history of John Haigh, better known as the Acid Bath Murderer. It’s a deep dive into one of Britain’s most notorious true crime cases, handled with our usual mix of "chaos and questionable life choices". Finally, we lighten the mood with Follow Fast or Scroll Past: Protein Edition, where we judge the rise of the protein-obsessed personality. We wrap up with our Joke of the Week, which might just be a "long story". Jingles by Suno. 00:00:00 – Intro: Life excitement levels of a screensaver 00:00:43 – This week’s roadmap: Acid Baths and Protein Shakes 00:02:20 – The TikTok Rant: AI employees and the middleman struggle 00:04:44 – "Scoop" Scams: Why TikTok Live gambling is out of control 00:07:00 – Illegal Self-Defense Keyrings: The danger of "Shein" weapons 00:10:45 – Exhibit A: The Acid Bath Murders of John Haigh 00:26:30 – Follow Fast or Scroll Past: The Protein Shake Personality 00:33:15 – Uncle Jerry’s Protein Intake (Unfortunately) 00:38:50 – Meme of the Week 00:40:23 – Jokes of the Week: A very "thick" book. #Topicopedia #TikTokScams #AcidBathMurders #JohnHaigh #TrueCrimePodcast #ProteinCulture #TikTokLive #ComedyPodcast #Episode203 #UncleJerry

    Ep202 | The Easter Episode That Probably Shouldn’t Eggcist…

    Happy Easter from Topicopedia! In episode 202, Ste and Nicole are "cracking on" with an egg-filled special that is smoother than a melted Easter egg left on a radiator. Nicole gives us an update on her life as a "walking medical mystery" and her epic battle to clear the "piles" of clutter in her bedroom—which she’s been funding by selling on Vinted. We dive into listener feedback about proper snake-holding etiquette and the heated debate over whether Australians or Brits are the world's most "sweary" people . This week’s features include a life-changing review of Cherry Bakewell flavoured tea and a live blind taste test of the viral (and surprisingly tasty) cottage cheese ice cream . In a more serious segment, Exhibit A covers the tragic case of Shafilea Ahmed . We then lighten things up with our Follow Fast or Scroll Past Easter edition, where we judge your chocolate habits—including why biting straight into a Creme Egg is a major red flag . Wrap it all up with our Meme and Jokes of the Week!

    Ep201 | Chuck Norris Didn’t Die… He Just Stopped Listening to Us

    Welcome to episode 201 of Topicopedia! After the high-energy chaos of our 200th milestone, Ste and Nicole are back to their baseline setting: chatting absolute nonsense with a very thin layer of structure. This week, Nicole shares her experience joining a "body reprogramming" group for pain management, where she somehow managed to make a friend within 30 seconds of being late. Meanwhile, Stee questions the ethics of using "two truths and a lie" as an icebreaker. In our main segments, we dive into the dark and bizarre "crossbow cannibal plot" in Exhibit A, debate the internet's sudden obsession with "sexy" cottage cheese in Follow Fast or Scroll Past, and wrap things up with a Meme of the Week that might actually be educational. We also read your feedback and attempt to avoid mentions of Uncle Jerry—for legal reasons, mostly.
