    English Whisky and Careers Advice

    This is getting to be something of a habit. A run of regular shows and then a big gap. "Okay, we know, and we're sorry, but we really do have a good excuse this time". So apart from Alexander's explanation for the haitus, the two antique podsters get stuck into answering a question posed by a lovely listener which is . . . how does someone get a career in the antiques world? And while answering this head scratcher, Jonny gives his honest opinion about the state of the industry (no spoilers, but it isn't great) and Alexander does his best to use the word 'bankable' as many times as possible within an hour. All of this while enjoying a snifter of a single malt whisky from, of all places, Cheshire. Don't forget to like, subscribe, rate and review the show on your podcast dispenser of choice. It really does help us. Say hello to Jon and Alexander at antiquesanonymouspod@gmail.com Follow on the socials: Instagram @antiquesanonymouspodcast Twitter/X @antiquesanonpod Hosted on Acast.

  2. The Christmas Special

    The Christmas Special

    Merry Christmas! In this episode the boys have a 'most wonderful time' toasting the festive season with a nice beverage which, naturally enough, has a story to it. They discuss the extraordinary result of a Christmas movie prop selling at auction, and the relative merits of yuletide motion pictures. Is there actually a good one? A seasonal 'Did They Get It Wrong' extended version, in which Alexander tries hopelessly to justify the tenuous links in the objects chosen to Christmas and John shares his opinion on cigars (spoiler - he doesn't like them much). The Antiques Trade Gazette gets a massive amount of product placement (still no endorsement) in a special ATG Pun-Down. And we also find out which sexy man has emptied his sack in a special Christmas auction. Who could it be? All this and more antiques-X-xmas banter between your hosts as they fail to moderate their drinking. Have a Cool Yule, everyone.

    The Million Dollar Watch Restoration

    Episode 13 of Antiques Anonymous finds Jon and Alexander talking all about provenance. That thing all auctioneers and valuers love, and can make even a modest antique worth millions. Along the way, Alexander fails to remember the naughty bits in James Cameron's Titanic movie, the boys discuss what on Earth goes on in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and yet another sampler makes piles of cash in 'Did They Get It Wrong'. All this and more, plus a little tease for the next episode - the AA Christmas Special. You can't wait, can you?

    Cereal Purchasing Ghost: A (Belated) Halloween Special

    In this spooky episode, Jon and Alexander talk monsters, ghosts and general weirdness in the world of antiques. But we start with a toast to Jon's late father, a larger than life character who will be greatly missed. Then we hear how Alexander was literally confronted with a creature from his nightmares, and the time when Jon attempted to shoot a ghost with a BB gun. And the two try to analyse a bit of video footage seeming to show some poltergeist activity at a saleroom in Royal Wootton Bassett. In a slightly different version of 'Did They Get It Wrong', we hear about two cases from the same auction house of under-valuing and over-valuing (arguably).

    How to Lose $248 million

    Heavy on the ASMR, in this episode Jonny and Alexander open a bottle of Rioja and a packet of salt and vinegar crisps while discussing the latest news in the world of antiques. The rambling convo involves Christie's dropping digital art, Sotheby's massive losses and the Thornhill collection's new (temporary) home. Jonny also reveals why he doesn't like Moorcroft or Della Robbia while Alexander tries to disagree agreeably. Alexander reveals what he's been up to in Leeds and Nottingham in the last few weeks. And Jonny remembers how Alexander has a hilarious pet name for his wife. Don't forget to rate and review on your podcast dispenser of choice.

    Trump's Goldification and Other Trends

    Jon and Alexander are BACK and finally in double figures! Yes, episode 10 is all about trends (a theme suggested by a lovely listener) from the Hollywood style and how it can be overdone (yes, Mr Trump we're talking to you and what you've done to the oval office) as well as Seiko watches, generation Z, streetwear, urban art, Labubu Monsters and NFTs. There's a return of 'Did They Get It Wrong' and plenty of ASMR as your two hosts slurp beer and wine and munch on Monster Claw snacks in celebration of making it this far. Get your Ukrainian flags ready for the finale and don't forget to like, follow, share, comment and review.

    We Buy Vintage Cows for Cash Roadshow

    Introduced by the great King Donald 1st of America, Jon and Alexander catch up on what they've been up to for the last seven months and rake over the remnants of what might have been a great show in January, predicting 2025 with laser precision, had the boys actually managed to be professional and coordinate their diaries. They also talk about those companies that thrust grubby pamphlets through your door promising top cash for gold and antiques and making out like selling at auction is a really bad thing. Boooo, how dare they? Don't forget to like, subscribe and write us a review on your podcast app of choice. We will love you forever for it.

    The Artform Formerly Known As . . .

    Back again after another long gap with episode 8 of the Antiques Anonymous podcast. In this episode, Alexander gets a bit serious about stress in the workplace and how important reaching out to a friend can be. We hear why a power cut and a jigsaw puzzle led Alexander to bid live on a coffee table and in their usual 'Did They Get It Wrong' segment, he reveals his dislike of Mickey Mouse (quick and terrible impression alert) and then on to the main topic this time - prints - as suggested by a listener. As they ramble on, Jon comes clean about his art degree and the hosts disagree agreeably in general about various artists including John Piper, L.S.Lowry, Tracy Emin, Albrecht Durer, Kathe Kollwitz, Damien Hurst (ugh) and Banksy. We also get an insight into Alexander's misspent youth 'studying' graffiti art. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
