    Premium Bonds, Coronation Street, Bread Week, Tasteless Tomatoes, Travelling Cat EP 214

    This time… Premium Bonds… are they unique to the UK?  Coronation Street AXED?  How reporting is so different between sources.  Youtube viewers like Andy and Nick are losing patience with the length of videos, the ads, and the moaning vloggers!    Real bread week… why is sliced white so dreadful? We note the death of actor Brian Murphy and discuss 70s sitcoms. Why are tomatoes so tasteless?  Finally… a good news story about a well-travelled cat!  Its all here!

    Special: The Future of TV viewing… a discussion on how we are watching TV in a different way. EP 213

    This edition, we have themed our podcast.  Today we talk about the future of television. Nick is a minimal viewer of television being more of a radio, podcast and Youtube fan.  Andy actually teaches television production skills in a college. We think you’ll find this an interesting debate with some interesting questions and fascinating answers. We explore what’s known as linear television (old fashioned viewing as broadcast) and then look at how people are consuming programmes now.  Do we still turn on to view at certain times?  How are younger people watching?  Do older viewers stick with the same channel all evening? What do you watch and when? Have you ditched traditional TV viewing? What do you think?  We really love to hear from you.  Let us know by sending a comment via our website: twovoices.co.uk

  3. Heritage Railways, reliance on volunteers, punters, cheese. EP 212 Two Voices Radio Podcast

    10/09/2024

    Heritage Railways, reliance on volunteers, punters, cheese. EP 212 Two Voices Radio Podcast

    This time Nick and Andy are together in the studio.  They discuss a recent visit to the Watercress Line (Mid Hants Heritage Railway).  The podcast leads on to the wider discussion on the popularity of heritage steam and diesel railways in the UK including the Great Central Railway in Loughborough & The Severn Valley Railway in Kidderminster.   There is a big reliance on volunteers.  Nick and Andy discuss the advantages (and sometimes) disadvantages to organisations in having a volunteer base. Plus... they ask what sort of people go to heritage railways and what are their expectations of a day out?  At the end they sample some Hampshire cheese and talk... as Waitrose fancily term it "terroir". It's all here... get in touch with the podcast via our website: twovoices.co.uk

    Closed restaurants, gawping, soaps, rewards, 1980's prices. EP 211

    Andy asks what happens to the furniture in restaurants when they close down? Nick has some espresso cups courtesy of his aunty from a closed down Wimpy Bar.   We talk about gawping through the windows while people are working… it’s your BBC… except it isn’t! Andy talks about the quality of soap operas.  Nick reveals how he likes to pretend he’s presenting daytime TV from IKEA room sets. We talk about supermarket loyalty cards, how very variable their rewards are, and the cost of shopping in the 80s.  Plus…if you’re in Wales at any time… visit St Fagans National Museum of History... it’s fascinating. Get in touch… we love hearing from you… via our website: twovoices.co.uk

    London Walking and Talking - Two Voices Radio Podcast EP209

    This episode is different from the norm.  Nick and Andy decided to go for a walk around London and are pleased to have you along to eavesdrop on their conversation!  Join us as we start on the Goswell Road near Farringdon Station in London, we go to Angel Islington, then end up in Nisbets. Central London is too busy so we jump on a bus that's hotter than the sun and end up touring via Limehouse via the Docklands Light Railway!  We end up at Canary Wharf.   It's the usual rambling chat you know and love but with a bit of walking and a change of scenery.   Please get in touch via the "Contact Us" button our website: twovoices.co.uk and tell us if you'd like more of our podcasts in this style.  We love to hear from you!

    Cereal for dinner, Crooked House, Radio Off Air, Old Fashioned hotels. EP 207

    This time… we start with cereal for dinner… you won’t believe the suggestion of the USA Kellogg’s boss.  We look at the Crooked House Pub in Dudley, West Midlands… it’s an intriguing story.  We talk about re-use of buildings and the surprising number of new buildings still appearing.  Plus… the radio station currently off air… for a very strange reason. We talk our perennial favourite topic… hotel stays… from chain hotels to a recent stay we have made at an old fashioned hotel in Bournemouth.   Andy tells us why he always feels a bit queasy in guest houses but how we loved our traditional bed, breakfast and evening meal bargain.   Don’t forget… if you are in the UK and travel by train… get a bolt-on PlusBus ticket for good value travel for silly money... that's what we do.  Please get in touch, we love to hear from you… tell us where you are.  Send a message via the website: twovoices.co.uk
