Informed vs uniformed democracies

Should we feel sorry for Julian Assange? 

Did he become a wizard whilst in hiding at the Ecuadorian embassy? 

Is Wikileaks fundamentally good or bad?

 

eh.

Ben & Dave are back from a hiatus with an episode that delves deep into the depths of everyone's favourite post-break-up snack food.... music!

 

This episode features our first guest, incredible musician, guitarist, vocalist, sensitive soul and bicycle owner Mr Jack O'Connell- a member of several kickass bands including, but not limited to-

& Lovejoy

Discussed in this episode:

How do/can/should we separate the art from the artist?

Dave says 'Flotsam & Jetsam' 35 times 

How does an idea appear in the mind?

Is delusional self-worth necessary for success?

and much, much more. 

 

Subway is dope, don't care what anyone says.

In fair Verona, our heroes Ben & Dave cover a butcher’s buffet of topics, including;

The Convicting and sentencing of the highest ever Vatican official to be charged with sex crimes

Donald Trump’s handling of the nuclear arms crisis with North Korea

The recent Michael Jackson documentary

A dubiously sympathetic discussion on tortured rock stars

Why Bradley Cooper was SO DAMNED GOOD in the hit film, ‘A star is Corn"‘

WE KNOW that we touch the microphone too much and that it is very annoying. STOP writing in to us about it. We get it, ok!?

Regular amount of unfounded opinions and incorrect factual discussion included.

In this edgy episode, Ben and Dave let rip on a variety of issues...ugh...including;

 

- Dave lays down his argument for the most selfish generation in recent history

- Ben asks whether all religions are the same kind of 'good'

- Our star-crossed arguers deal the with age-old question- War: what is it good for?

 

Many, many errors. Won't bother.

Sorry, mum.

You probably shouldn't listen to this...

 

This month we cover: 

Dave's numerous holidays (with his mother), free speech and the myths of Christmas. 

 

So many factual errors that it would be embarrassing to even address. 

Have a very John Mclean Christmas.

Episode 3 is here! The Ben & Dave Save The World ultra spooky (:/) Halloween special covers a veritable salad bowl of topics, from Japan's Princess' marriage to a commoner, Ben's fiery Berlin NYE, Jamal Khashoggi and the nefarious practice known as gerrymandering. 

 

Listen fewl.

Will Donald Trump run again? What's the big deal with Elizabeth Warren's ancestry? Stories of catamarans and gummy shark bites, tips on how to survive a plane crash & what it means to accuse someone of something...all in this weeks rambling chat. 

Show notes; Rubicon: A point from which one cannot return. Fish from Hemingway's 'Old Man And The Sea' was a Marlin...whoops.

Listen while petting. Enjoy?

In our very first episode, we cover a range of topics from Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump, the state of Immigration and Nicole Kidman's acting chops...and we offer our rambling opinions that no - one asked for. Welcome to Ben & Dave Save The World!
