    Special Episode - The Cultural Exchange: Eurovision

    Richard Makes Jamie Watch Eurovision. Special Episode. The cultural exchange is complete. Jamie made Richard watch WrestleMania. Richard made Jamie watch Eurovision. Jamie went in sceptical, came out grudgingly impressed, and has opinions about the voting system that won't surprise anyone. Bulgaria won. Richard is insufferably right about all of it. The deal is done.

    AI Please Don't Kill Us (We Said Please)

    Richard has been to Scunthorpe. The city view from his hotel was a Sainsbury's and a solicitor's. He also went to see David Icke — yes, really! He is convinced Jamie missed out. Jamie does not agree. This week Jamie dies on the hill that everyone needs to calm down about AI in both directions, the people saying it's going to destroy humanity and the people saying it's useless are both wrong. Richard thinks the whole thing is disingenuous. What follows is one of their better arguments: touching on the Luddite revolution, AI music creation, whether a ghost-written novel is any different to one written with AI, doctors using ChatGPT, and the strawberry paradox. Also: Jamie admits he says please and thank you to AI. Just in case. Then Richard buys a microphone off Temu that claims to replicate a world class studio mic. It does not. In Nerds Den, now also known as Random Shit Richard Has Bought, the results are assessed. Also: Bob Mortimer is a comic genius and this is not up for debate. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with someone who needs it. Or someone who doesn't. Especially your enemies. Like, subscribe, and we'll see you in a fortnight.

    Stop Flogging the Dead Horse

    Jamie's been to Disneyland Paris, Richard's been to the Shepherd's Bush Empire, and somehow both trips end up in the same conversation, are we being sold experiences or just parted from our money in increasingly creative ways? Richard dies on the hill that anniversary tours need to stop and bands need to know when to quit. Ticket prices, theme parks, and the growing suspicion that someone is always making money out of your good time. Plus: the intro that refused to behave, and Richard's continued refusal to touch the Instagram page. We're now on Instagram at @ncwytpodcast and you can reach us at hello@nobodycarespodcast.co.uk we want your hills. The things you'd die on. The opinions everyone tells you are wrong. Send them in and we'll argue about them on air.

    Special Episode - The Cultural Exchange: WrestleMania.

    This is a special. No hills, no topics, no format. Jamie making Richard sit through WrestleMania as part of a cultural exchange nobody asked for but everyone needed. Richard went in sceptical. Richard came out changed. The deal was WrestleMania for Eurovision, so consider this fair warning, Richard's revenge is coming, and it involves sequins.

    Everything Is Connected (And We're Sick of It)

    Jamie dies on the hill that the Star Wars prequels deserve more credit than they get. Richard disagrees. Then they tackle the bigger question, why does every piece of culture now need to be part of something larger, and when did standalone become a dirty word?

    That's Not Reading, That's Just Listening

    Richard did his Bee Gees homework and it's only made him worse. Jamie went to see Prima Facie. Then: are audiobooks actually reading? Richard says no. After that, long form vs short form gaming, the backlog problem, and what abandoning a save file says about you as a dad. Got a hill? We want it hello@nobodycarespodcast.co.uk or @ncwytpodcast on Instagram.

    Episode 3: The Hill Jamie Doesn't Quite Believe In

    Richard is using Arts Council funding to experiment with creative recording sessions with musicians, starting with a harp player, and gets into the details of microphone placement and what he's trying to achieve. Jamie has been watching Pluribus on Apple TV and makes it his mission to get Richard on board. In "I Will Die on This Hill," Jamie argues that the moral panic around children's screen time is performative nonsense and what actually matters is what they're watching, then almost immediately admits he's not sure he fully believes his own argument. That leads into a proper conversation about Stranger Things finally ending, whether it sticks the landing, and the broader question of why so many beloved shows fall apart at the finish line. Fan expectations, showrunner pressure, and whether any ending can ever actually satisfy anyone.

    Episode 2: Richard Vs The Beatles

    Jamie went to see Radiohead and has thoughts, mostly about the fact they didn't play Creep and whether that's artistic integrity or just being awkward. Richard spent New Year sober and has strong opinions about Jools Holland's Hootenanny. There's a trip to the snooker, a heated "I Will Die on This Hill" where Richard argues the Beatles are massively overrated, and a conversation about support bands, including Jamie's borderline obsessive appreciation for Brigette Calls Me Baby, who he discovered supporting Morrissey. The lads also get into influencer culture creeping into music and acting, and Richard's Nerd Den this week involves spending £1 on a device that is technically both a speaker and a phone. Somehow this takes longer to explain than it should.

    Episode 1: We Exist, Apparently

    Jamie and Richard introduce themselves, explain why they're doing this, and immediately start arguing. In their first ever "I Will Die on This Hill" segment, Jamie makes the case that professional wrestling deserves to be taken seriously as entertainment, whilst Richard remains unconvinced. Richard then defends Five Guys milkshakes as the gold standard of fast food shakes, but argues the price makes them impossible to justify. That descends into a broader conversation about whether quality is ever actually worth the premium. It's the first episode. Nobody asked for it. Here it is anyway.
