This week we chat to Colin from the Kicking Out of Kayfabe podcast which focuses on the Irish pro wrestling scene. We cover his start in podcasting, including some appearances on the SmackedRaw podcast which were rife with fluting! We also discuss how the "speaking out" movement has changed the culture of professional wrestling and if there is light at the end of the tunnel. Colin then provides an excellent kernel of truth with a quote from Confucius, which leads to a lengthy conversation about living one's best life. This was a thoroughly enjoyable chat about wrestling, podcasting, and life in general!

This week we speak to Peter McCormack, host of the massively-popular podcast What Bitcoin Did. Peter is our third entrant on Noah's Arc, and as such, we discuss the ins and outs of podcasting from how he got started after a fateful trip to LA, to the differences between recording during the day and at night, the different sub-sections of Bitcoin followers and their disagreements, and how hard work and dedication to one's craft pays dividends in the long term.

The next entrant on to Noah's (podcasting) Arc is Nesbit from Talking Maiden, an Iron Maiden fan podcast with 141 episodes to date. Nesbit takes us through his maiden voyage into podcasting in his usual witty and detailed style, touching on Iron Maiden fan culture, growing his podcast and the Twitter promo racket, the pain of listening to your own recorded voice, and his podcasting partnership with good friend, Josh. There is also an exclusive announcement about Nesbit's next podcasting venture! I checked with Noah and he is delighted with this entrant on to his Arc, hopefully the listener will be too!

In this episode we welcome the first entrant onto Noah's Arc which is Paul, from the Silver Screamers podcast. We discuss podcasting at length, covering the Silver Screamers podcast and what sets it apart from other film podcasts, the reliance on filler words as a podcaster, the concept of negative reviews and how that drives internet algorithms, and the idea of podcasting being a weekly chat amongst friends. We also talk about Sex and the City at length. Feck off!

This week we take you behind the scenes of The Feckin' Check-In and podcasting in general. We discuss our history beginning with our first podcast, 2 Faced Fake Snakes, leading right up to the present day. We also discuss the concept of "fluting", Twitter podcast culture, and the struggles in growing a podcast without an inbuilt fan base. This is the first in a series where we'll talk to other podcast hosts about their experiences.

This week, we free ourselves from the shackles of prepared content and go completely off the cuff. Along the way we discuss Dax, Brylcreem, and other hair-styling products, The Real Housewives of LA, the attempted installation of an eight year old PC game - Street Fighter X Tekken, and a Kernel that deals with lack of preparation. Music from The Line-Up. Enjoy!

It's Monday. You know what that means. It's a new episode of The Feckin' Check-In! This week as we run through our FECKs we cover our nervous anticipation as we waited for Andreas Antonopolous to join last week's call, discuss tabloid talk shows from the 1990s and compare them to today's reality TV, explore the culture of exercise and its domineering presences in our lives, and talk about the recent #SpeakingOut scandal on professional wrestling and its implications for the future. FECK!

This week we are honoured to speak to a very special guest. He is a world-renowned author, educator, and Bitcoin advocate - Andreas Antonopolous. We discuss numerous different topics, in a FECK-based interview, covering, as always, Funny Observations, Entertainment, Culture, and a Kernel of Truth, related to the digital currency. Andreas touches on the absurdity of the current financial system, the possibility of one day writing an autobiography, the move towards a cashless society and where Bitcoin fits into that, and why Bitcoin is the next Bitcoin. Please join us for this extra special episode of The Feckin' Check-In!

This week, in a slight format change, we settle on just four FECKs and have a lengthier discussion about each. Topics covered include being heckled at by teenagers, Ronan Keating's butchery of previously decent pop songs, video gaming culture as an adult man, and the results of a survey carried out by 2me on the topic of working from home. FECK!

Episide 9 is here, and it packs a serious punch! We discuss long-forgotten dialogue from Coronation Street and Eastenders, and far more memorable Al Pacino quotes in Funny Observations. Entertainment covers Dr. Phil's unintentionally funny and shockingly bad true crime podcast "Mystery and Murder". For Culture, we cover JK Rowling's recent Tweets about transgender people and also touch on Graham Linehan's recent online comments. And in Kernels of Truth we examine a well known quite by Mark Twain. All of this and much more on this week's Feckin' Check-In!
