A Good Day To DIY

Episode 13: Simon of All Trades (With Simon)

Listen Later

Today we're talking with Simon: Self diagnosed sci fi fan, mender, aspiring space cowboy of south east London and truly a jack of pretty much all trades (check out his youtube! https://youtube.com/@toomanyprojects). As usual we talk about all sorts of everything and our conversation is entirely random, PLUS there's not only a great pitch but a special bonus section. WHAM.

 

Some excellent conversational threads especially on pub gigs, collective leadership, the Soviet union, and the best noises in Trek. Further conversation includes but is not limited to:

  • Simon's one true love: Classic, hard boiled adventure stories
  • The "badmiral" problem
  • The greatest sci fi of all time: Thomas the tank engine
  • Why there should be more sax solos in Trek intros
  • The most egregious racism of The Original Series (we all agree)
  • Lego boobies
  • In defence of goth
  • No trek is shit trek
  • Morgoth's back up dancer
  • How long it actually takes to open up a hoover
  • Managing resources without money
