Deep Fought

Guten tag, lads and gents. We are pleased to present you with yet another episode for aural digestion. This week, we talk broadly about inventions while freely diverging into discussion of, amongst other things, tribal cultures and peaches. That said, we're surprisingly on topic for once so full marks to us. This episode's mistakes include:

• No Ben as a guest host despite our episode number being a multiple of five.

Plus, follow us on Facebook, or Twitter, rate us on iTunes, or email us at [email protected].

Greetings, and welcome to the first show of 2024. I know what you're thinking - "Hold on Michael, it's only 2013!" Well, you're wrong. Nick's the one who writes these blog posts. And also, we're talking about waking up after being in a coma, and retrograde amnesia, and also time travel, mostly because we didn't really know what the topic was about. But thanks for your support regardless. This episode's mistakes include:

• Beverage-free recording, with neither tea to warm us nor alcohol to loosen our tongues.

Live your dreams. Also, follow us on Facebook, or Twitter, and rate us on the iTunes Store if you like.

This ramshackle episode brought to you Coyote Ugly®, now on Blu-Ray thanks to Buena Vista Home Entertainment. This week, we discuss whether we'd rather be brilliant at one thing, or pretty good at everything. It leads to less interesting conversation than you may expect, which in itself is probably what you expected. We've tweaked our audio setup again, so hopefully it will be louder for people. This episode's mistakes include:

• Repeated departures of one host from the room, lending an unsettling air to the podcast.

Chase your dreams.

Yay, another good one. We had cups of tea again, and yet surprisingly it didn't kill the energy. Now that's progress. We talk a bit about superpowers (listener suggested) and a lot about other stuff. Send questions to [email protected]. This episode's mistakes include:

• We know lots of you love to discover what audio issue we have each podcast, and are sorry to disappoint you with high quality sound this week.

Push through the pain.

Another week plus one day, another podcast. Late again, this time due to interstate travel and birthday recuperation, we can nevertheless assure you that this episode is much more on point than the dross we uploaded last week. It's a vaguely happy one, too, like we've turned a corner. Well, maybe not. This episode's mistakes include:

• Persistent bird chirping in the background due to daytime recording.

Back in the swing of things.

We've definitely plateaued, because somehow our audio quality was rough this week. Very quiet. We've tried to fix it after the fact but it's all just a bit fuzzy. Luckily it's hard to be that disappointed with it since you'll be too disappointed in the uninteresting and dull content. Apparently Michael shouldn't drink tea during the podcast. This episode's mistakes include:

• Fuzziness as the lesser of two audio evils, the alternative being high background whirr from correcting low recording levels. So yeah, we know, you'll have to turn up the volume a lot. Sorry.

We promise to fall off the wagon next week.

And our apologies to you for being late this week. We know that the relationship between podcaster and podcastee is a sacred bond, and feel nothing but the deepest regret for letting you down. Still, it's an upbeat happy episode to counteract what some called "too depressing" last week. So, our apologies for that as well. This episode's mistakes include:

• A general sense of guilt about our tardiness that permeates the entire discussion.

Pay it forward.

We're back to our old tricks this week: depressing topics. Yes, it's an overly long, noticeably less focussed episode, even by our standards. What do you want to find out at the pearly gates? Expect many distractions and diversions. This episode's mistakes include:

• The encore performance of the famous mic wobble.

That said, these are the only mistakes we ever could have made.

Good day, ladies and sirs, and welcome to episode seven. We have now decided to credit our guests in text form as well as on the show itself, so without further ado we disclose that our good friend Austin joined us this week. There. Acknowledged. The topic at hand was virtual reality, but as is par for the course we approached it in a muddled and confusing fashion. This episode's mistakes include:

• The much anticipated return of audio quality issues! We've peaked, guys. It's back down the hill from here, mostly due to microphone wobbling, table bumps and constantly changing distances from each of the three speakers.

Try to imagine it.

I don't want to rub it in but we almost know what we're doing now. You should feel intimidated by our professionalism. But that's not really in the spirit of this podcast, which is all about being less offensive and more positive. (With questionable success.) We'll leave that up to you to judge. This episode's mistakes include:

• The gentle clinking of whiskey on the rocks.

Think happy thoughts.
