ANIMUS

Honestly, who let this happen?

This week we definitely sit down face to face together in the same place and discuss the elephant in the room, what’s been keeping us entertained, and the wonders of home workouts.

As we’re all a little overwhelmed with free time this season (year?), we’re likely going to double our output over the next few weeks.

This marks the start of our new Quarantine Sessions. Let us know what you want to hear, and what you think we should be watching!

Honestly, we never thought it’d be this way.

Hey guys, this week we made it a special one. We chat once again about video games, Mikey pitches JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure for the 100th time and Jon takes a beating on behalf of his poor taste in TV series.

A little way into this one the conversation takes a fairly heavy turn, just a heads up.

As we mention on air, this will be our last one for a while so, we hope it’s a good one.

Thanks for all the support over the last 30 (?!) episodes, we love you guys ❤️

Honestly we should’ve planned better.

Today we learn very quickly why it’s important to plan ahead, we chat about video games, Mikey pitches JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures (again) and Jon talks about his love for hospital strategy games.

We had a very short window of time this episode so, we’re back to the old format for a little bit. Let us know what you think, or if you prefer us rambling for 2 hours at a time.

Honestly, this one’s pretty cool.

Today we sit down with actress, director and producer Alix Austin. We talk about the success of her short film “Retch”, the surprise international audience its earned and where the film industry is heading.

This one’s pretty different for us so let us know what you think.

Honestly, this book will change your life.

Today we sit down and discuss “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield. The book looks into how Resistance manifests it’s way into our daily life and why it’s so important to recognise it when it surfaces. We don’t want to give too much away, but this book is a gamechanger in the murky world of self development, and we implore anyone who feels like they need a nudge to give it a read

Honestly, it wasn’t meant to go this way.

Today we sat down to discuss music when an unexpected visitor in the form of ex-Young Kings/This Life guitarist Kristian KC Currington appeared. We ended up answering an absolute truck load of questions, talking about new career paths and showcasing some brand new music from our friends in Ruina, Out of Love and of course, the incredible and much loved Night City Slow Lane.

Honestly, don’t listen to this one with the kids around.

This week we sit down to host the long foretold NGE round table with our good friends Rob, Amy & Jimmy. We discuss why Shinji should just get in the damn robot, Rob provides some incredibly insightful commentary and Jon wishes they’d just make the spin off with that damn penguin.

This one’s very niche, and very adult, so pre warning, this might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Also, major major spoilers if you haven’t already watched the show (although it is now 25 years old so sorry not sorry)

Honestly, we should all read more comics.

This week we have the pleasure of sitting down with Bub Chahal, founder and owner of Close Encounters Comic Book Shop. We chat about his transition from comic book fan to business owner, why it’s important to have an open mind and why those first 3 Spider-Man films were pretty damn good.

This was a lot of fun, we learnt so much about the community Bub’s helped build around the shop and all of the incredibly wonderful and talented people that come with it.

Honestly, New Years Resolutions suck.

Welcome back! We’ve got a new set up, let us know what you think of the sound! This week we talk about why setting SMART goals is so important, Jon gives his wholly unqualified health and fitness advice and we bring up why anyone that still listens to the radio needs a proper talking to.

Disclaimer - Neither of us are qualified health professionals, as we say in the show, your goals have to work for you, only make decisions based on science and the advice of health professionals. We care about you all!

Honestly, this is the Final Cut.

This week we sit down with esteemed children’s author and illustrator David Litchfield. We talk about taking the leap, the perks of social media and why trusting your gut instinct can often lead to success. We also definitely don’t discuss Star Wars, at all.

The hugely successful ‘The Bear & The Piano’ and it’s follow up ‘Grandad’s Secret Giant’ are available now in all good book shops.
