June 03, 2019Attic Life: Episode 6 - Points of Ingress
Three years is quite long enough to have a break between podcast episodes, wouldn't you say?

Yes, Attic Life is back - rebooted, simplified and now with added guests! For episode 6, we've roped in our old friend Jay from DesignFootball.com, but if you're not into football, fear not. This is Attic Life, the podcast where football barely gets a look in.

That's because we have weightier matters to discuss. For instance, what makes a great musical cover version? Why does cluster fly terminology make for a great album title? And is it possible to win a competition when the prize doesn't technically exist?

Not everything in Attic Life poses such a challenge for the mind as we also discuss everything from dishwashers to incomplete McChicken sandwiches. And if you're wondering how all these things could possibly be connected, there's only one thing left to do, and that's to download the returning Attic Life - episode 6 - right now.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated...

May 10, 2016 Attic Life: Episode 5 - Parenting and Swearing
Parenting and Swearing - two things that go together like... parenting and swearing.

These are the two subjects discussed in our latest Attic Life podcast which, you should be warned, contains one or two swear words. Apologies in advance for that, but, well... f**k you.

Just joking, of course. We begin by expressing our thoughts on what it's like to be a parent, whether it's better to have kids when you're older or younger, and whether there's really anything you can do to be a better parent before the reality of it all sets in.

After that, it's onto swearing - an activity many of us engage in, but can you have too much of a good thing? When does swearing stop being funny and turn into monotonous, inane rubbish? We look at the words we say, the way we say them and the situations when swearing simply isn't the done thing...

April 24, 2016 Attic Life: Episode 4 - Gambling and Britain
On the latest Attic Life pod, Chris discusses gambling. Who among us doesn't buy the odd Lotto ticket or has a flutter on the Grand National every once in a while?

Gambling is everywhere, but how much we're affected by it or are influenced by it depends on who you are and your personal circumstances. Attic Life looks at gambling and wonders whether more needs to be done to protect the vulnerable from the lure of enormous riches...

And speaking of riches, Rich is on hand to talk about Britain. And England. Hell, let's just call it Brengland! What does it mean to be British these days, and is it possible to feel pride at being British? Does the whole world hate Britain, or are the Brits suffering from a persecution complex based on centuries of brutal global colonisation?

As ever, you can count on Attic Life to get to the bottom of this and other matters, so why not listen in and form your own opinions? Attic Life Episode 4 can be downloaded via this link, or via iTunes. As ever, we warmly welcome your comments on the subjects discussed and we look forward to hearing from you.

April 12, 2016 Attic Life: Episode 3 - Shopping and Getting Older
It was Benjamin Franklin who once said "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes" but to those you can also add 'shopping' and 'getting older.'

As luck would have it, those are the exact two subjects that are discussed on episode 3 of Attic Life ('death' and 'taxes' coming up on a future podcast, no doubt...)

During this edition, Chris talks about how our regular trips to the corner shop have transformed into a pilgrimage to the out-of-town meccas of Tesco, Sainsburys et al. But how much have we changed as people, along with the supermarkets themselves? Chris checks out life at the checkouts...

As for Rich, he's content just to note the passing of time - and the derogatory effect it's had on his body. Fortunately his mind remains intact and willing to believe he's still 22. Is it a common phenomenon for people aged 40 or over, or are your co-hosts just desperate to retain their coolness?

These and other questions are answered in Attic Life Episode 3 which you can download via this link, or via iTunes. As ever, we invite you to let us know what you think about the subjects discussed on this podcast and we look forward to hearing from you.

March 27, 2016 Attic Life: Episode 2 - Work and Pet Hates
Why do we work? Why do many of us do jobs that are boring and unfulfilling? And are we destined for a life of drudgery where the only incentive for working is a measly pay packet once a month?

These are some of the questions Chris puts forward during episode 2 of Attic Life.

Rich is also keen to share his views on some of his 'Pet Hates', and among them are people that bite their nails, people that fail to get the hang of simple punctuation and people that eat with their mouth open. Let's face it, one of Rich's pet hates is Chris.

To hear what conclusions were made from the aforementioned dialogue, download episode 2 of Attic Life here, or find us on iTunes.

March 16, 2016 Attic Life: Episode 1 - Memorable Events and Social Media
Yes, it's finally arrived - the first episode of the podcast that twenty years from now iTunes will refer to as 'No longer available for download'...

Fresh from their surprising semi-success with The Football Attic, Chris Oakley and Rich Johnson return to talk about life, and on this occasion specifically, 'Memorable Events' and 'Social Media'.

Remember those days when the word 'Newsflash' appeared on your TV screen, and the strange feeling in the pit of your stomach it caused? What were the events that stick out in your memory, and how was the news conveyed?

And social media: is it really all it's cracked up to be? Does it frustrate and infuriate more than it gratifies? Can technology really make our lives better through improved communications tools, when human imperfection is at the heart of it all?

These matters and more are all discussed on Episode 1 of Attic Life. Download it here or find the Attic Life podcast on iTunes.
