Antiques Anonymous episodes:

July 01, 2024 Algorithm and Blues
In this episode, Jon and Alexander talk about the many merits and demerits of social media in the antiques world, confess to a little guerilla marketing and give a shout-out to 'rival' podcast The Gavel and the Gabble (hello Harry and Simon!). Also in the rambling Torpedo Room convo, Jon discovers that he just squeaks into Generation X but has no idea what that means, what shabby chic really looks like when you get it home, a little more gentle dunking of the Antiques Roadshow, and why Jon is emphatically not wowed by a crumpled old top hat - and why would he be? All this and more from your favourite antiques anoraks.

April 28, 2024 Hippies Use the Back Door

April 07, 2024 Natural Bone
Once again, Alexander and Jonny are broadcasting from the Torpedo Room in a face-to-face pod. In this episode of Antiques Anonymous, Alexander and Jonny have a rambling chat about the world of antiques, not sticking to a theme but letting the conversation go where it will. This includes quite a bit of ivory talk, playing the eBay game 'Spot the Money Launderer', and the worst taxidermy fox Alexander ever saw.

March 10, 2024 (Not quite) Live from the Torpedo Room
After what seems like forever, Alexander and Jonny get together in the Torpedo Room (aka Jonny's place of bizzzzness) to talk about antiques again, this time fulfilling a promise made too long ago for anyone to really care about and discuss how the Internet has made an impact on the industry. We hear about the longest ADSL cable in history, how condition reports were done before email was a thing, the joys of selling to a room full of grumpy dealers who hate live bidding, why shouting 'hello America' during an auction may not be the best idea and what Jonny likes to do with his mouse to wind up auctioneers.

February 04, 2023 DANGER! There's Antiques About
In this episode, the intrepid Antiques Geeks Jonny and Alexander talk about DANGER in the world of antiques and art. They explore the murky world of pre-health and safety objet d'art, and how viewing an auction could be hazardous to life and limb. Well, almost. Alexander recalls a nearly nasty case of longcase clock vs wheelchair, Jonny spends some time playing with chemicals and recounting the tail of the poisonous rabbit. He also reveals a somewhat explosive and potentially lethal skip dive, and talking of explosives, Alexander remembers a colleague's anecdote about the contents of an ammunition box found during a probate valuation. You really don't want to miss this episode. Also, to see the YouTube video Alexander talks about towards the end, you can find it here - and it is definitely worth a look https://youtu.be/nZxLrhtdh_k - enjoy, BOOM!
