Eye Digress

Get a practical lesson on how to build a cult. There are robes, flippers, nipple-based revelations… and somehow, The 8th Seal of the Book of Revelations – called Celeste.

In this unholy guide to spiritual success, we break down the rules for building your own damp, deeply questionable cult. Expect fake prophecies, weird rituals, and punishments involving jellyfish. Obviously.

Think you’re good at trivia? Pit your wits against The I Digress Podcast! In this chaotic reimagining of Trivial Pursuit, we roll the dice (suspiciously well), leads us through increasingly unhinged questions to collect all six wedges. Along the way, we get to the bottom of Norwegian rivers, pigeon-collecting celebrities, and bucket-related wars that somehow actually happened.

From rigged dice to trick Brontë questions, nothing is safe – including the rules of the game. Or logic.

Featured:

• A completely one-player game of Trivial Pursuit (with suspicious luck)

• Celebrity possessions, moral rules, and sporty diarrhoea

• Bucket wars, pig wars, and the underrated art of pedestrianism

• The sexiest Brontë sister... revealed (spoiler: it’s a beach)

What do Vlad the Impaler, Leonardo da Vinci, and Jesus H. Christ have in common? Apparently, a hell of a childhood.

In this historically unverified (but heavily coffee-stained) episode, we unroll a mysterious manuscript revealing the early years of three of history’s biggest icons. From impaling games in the playground to DIY flight attempts with chicken feathers, and JC being expelled on a Friday but miraculously turning up again on Monday – this episode rewrites the past one bizarre fact at a time. All verified. All from the scrolls.

Featured:

• Vlad’s one-man dungeon musicals and violent party games

• Leonardo’s failed inventions (and even worse art class behaviour)

• JC’s school report card, baptism trauma, and glow-in-the-dark head

• Three childhoods you will never forget – no matter how hard you try

What do “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Sweet Caroline,” and “Eye of the Tiger” have in common? They all sound absolutely unrecognisable on a slide whistle. In this musical quiz episode, Ringo puts his talents (questionable) to the test while the others try to name tunes that have been tragically murdered by a novelty instrument. There’s shouting. There’s horror. There’s a bit of Queen that sounds like a dying duck. Get ready to hate your favourite songs in a whole new way.

Featured:

• Classic songs played terribly on a slide whistle

• Ringo's descent into musical chaos

• A music quiz where nobody wins

• Listener warning: you may never enjoy 80s rock the same way again

Dancing plagues, beer tsunamis, and war sparked by a severed ear - history is full of moments that sound made up. In this facts-packed episode, we quiz each other on the most ridiculous true stories history forgot to teach us. You’ll hear about a psychic horse solving crimes, a molasses flood killing 20 people, and the royal sibling spat that ended in a 30-year prison sentence. Spoiler: it started with a chamber pot. Welcome to the most absurd corner of the past.

Featured:

• The Great Emu War and other animals humans embarrassingly lost to

• The London Beer Flood and Boston Molasses Disaster

• Psychic horse detectives and failed royal children

• Wars started over ears and chamber pot revenge

If you've ever tried to explain how to use “the cloud” to your mum, this one’s for you. This episode dives into the chaos of tech support for the elderly - rogue Smarties analogies and desktop folder disasters. With a healthy nod to the realities of ageing, generational shifts, and parental patience, we also get a joke so inappropriate it gets shouted across a café. Throw in mouse-pranking IT mates and a lesson in remote-control sabotage, and you’ve got one hell of a support ticket.

Featuring

• Anecdotal and relatable: The episode mines the comedy gold of intergenerational tech gaps.

• Observational: The hosts reflect on ageing, change, and the slow decline of digital patience.

• Warm-hearted: Despite the mockery, there’s genuine affection in the storytelling.

• Humorous and tangential: The stories meander in typical I Digress fashion, making pit stops at family dysfunction, inappropriate humour, and inevitable future self-awareness.

From a sandwich-stealing dog to a racist Labrador, we dive deep into the animal kingdom’s lesser-known bastards. We ask the big question: are these just quirks of nature or are some creatures just straight-up arseholes? You’ll meet a penguin who pushes his mates to certain death, a chimp who stockpiles rocks for sneak attacks and a drunk kangaroo with anger issues. And that’s just the first half.

Featured:

• Real-life stories of animals behaving like absolute knobs

• Infamous creatures: Santino the chimp, Alex the bully parrot, and Boris the Berlin boar

• Species-wide arseholery: keas, Adélie penguins, and Scottish seagulls

• A philosophical debate on whether humping your dog bed counts as dominance or shame

Technology is transforming how we age - but is it making things better or just weirder? In this episode, we explore memory implants, balance-enhancing tails, smart toilets that judge your habits, and AI companions that are maybe a bit too lifelike. We also revisit our dream of a retirement village run by lunatics and consider what immortality would actually feel like. Get ready for the future… with dentures.

Featured:

• Emerging tech for elderly care, from implants to home robots

• The strange appeal of prosthetic tails

• A smart toilet that gives feedback you didn’t ask for

• The ethics (and cringe) of eternal life with a sex robot

Step aside, Einstein — Professor Ringo is here with a Nobel Prize–worthy set of theories. From time moving slower when you're a kid, to alien abductions being repressed memories of nappy changes, to your mirror showing a remembered version of your face, this episode boldly goes where no science class ever dared. It's speculative. It's hilarious. It's possibly complete nonsense. But it's definitely entertaining. Prepare to question your perception of time, space, and your own reflection.

Featuring

• Pseudo-scientific: The episode pokes fun at homemade theories and speculative ideas, blending science with humour.

• Philosophical and absurd: Ideas range from thought-provoking to completely ridiculous, with no firm line between.

• Conversational: The hosts debate, challenge, and mock each other’s theories in real-time.

• Humorous storytelling: Each theory is wrapped in anecdote and banter, making even alien probing a laugh.

It starts with perverts and ends with necrophilia. This episode dives into history’s lesser-known (and wildly inappropriate) figures – from questionable “celibacy tests” of the most famous to a British PM oversharing in all the wrong ways. Then it gets weirder: bestiality, necrophilic scandals and more ancient deviants than anyone asked for. It’s uncomfortable, hilarious, and definitely not safe for dinner table chat.

Featured:

• A wise man’s disturbing methods for testing self-control

• Why Ancient Greek statues might not be as innocent as they look

• A royal fascination with fish

• Zeus, swans, and far too much mythology-based kink
