Only Slightly Drunk

SOOOOOO sorry for the delay, a man cold has us in it's grip!

Here is the second and final part of our Halloween special, and yes, we know it's not Halloween anymore, but deal iwith, yeah?

Gazza and Scott stick around to play a game called Real or Not, where we list spooky and paranormal events and happenings, and ask the chaps whether they think they're real phenomena or not. What follows is some fascinating debates and facts, really worth listening to whether you believe or not.

Then it's our usual quiz, Bollocks or Not? In which Robbo goes head to head with the chaps to see who's got the sharpest trivia brain, and all questions are, naturally based on spooky, scary stuff!

Enjoy, and don't have nightmares.

It's a special, spooky slice of Only Slightly Drunk this week, as we present our first ever Halloween special!

We're sitting down with Garry Deakin - Gazza to his friends - and talking to him about his belief in the paranormal, his experiences of mediumship and even the haunting of his house.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, this is a fascinating interview in which we get to hear about the faith and world view of somebody who not only does believe but has had the personal first-hand experiences to support what he talks about. 

We cover a whole range of subjects from communicating with the spirit world to werewolves to crisis apparations to clairvoyance, and every single part of it is fascinating and thought provoking. 

Scott Parkes is also with us, being his usual adorable fun sized self, and adds his own tiny perspective on things. 

OSD - It's like a normal podcast...only slightly spookier!

It’s Part 2 of Episode 4!
 
 REALLY important stuff in this episode, as Paul Gray stays with us and we start by talking about the ramifications of the Sarah Everard case, and why the narrative from so many seems to be what women can do to make themselves safer – surely the onus is on what MEN need to do in order to make women safer? 

We also talk about an online petition created by Suzannah Povey-White (twitter - @yoghurteater) and Fran Taylor (twitter @whotheFisfran) titled “Stopping Misogyny and Sexual Harassment on Social Media”. 

Women are constantly being harassed and targeted on social media and yet the response of the platforms themselves is at best lacking and at worse non-existent. This simply HAS to change. 

We urge you to listen on this podcast to the press release they’ve provided to support their campaign, it’s a vital message that needs acting on NOW. 

You can also support the campaign by signing the petition here - https://chng.it/mSvNHkTw

Please feel free to contact Suzannah or Fran via Twitter for any offers of help and support or requests to interview. 

We also talk about Nightmare on Elm Street in this weeks Fizz or Flat and Robbo takes on Paul in Bollocks or Not…?

OSD. Treat your ears.

It's OSD time, and this episode, we've got Liberal Democrat MP Candidate for Havant, Paul Gray, joining us for a quiet drink of Malbec in the White Horse pub.

It's a fascinating interview, in which we talk about Paul's drive and desire to want to change the world for the better, why he got into politics in the first place, his opinion on Brexit and the Tories, is Joe Biden doing a good job, and why he wants to throw Jim Davidson into the sea.

Fascinating, passionate, articulate and at times hilarious, this is a wide ranging interview that covers all manner of subjects - and not just politics. 

Part 2 will be coming soon, in which Paul stays with us to discuss misogyny, what men need to do to make the world a safer place for women and the film Nightmare On Elm Street.

It's part 2 of Episode 3, you lucky, lucky people.

Ben sticks around - mainly because we tied him to the chair - to help us dive into whether Back To The Future is Fizz or Flat. 

We also discuss whether cancel culture is actually real, and why John Cleese is this week's TWAT. 

Finally, it's into the true or false round with B*llocks or Not. 

Get yourself a drink - tea, coffee, booze, whatever - sit back and enjoy us.

It's another Only Slightly Drunk! Only this time...we're Only Slightly Sober, as we're drinking non-alcoholic beer!

Joining us in Part One is Ben Hall, who writes as Benjamin Shaw, talking about his book series, The Evan Boyd Adventures.

The first book in the series - Operation Hurricane, has been a number one Amazon best seller, and in a fascinating chat, Ben talks to us about his writing process, his plans for the future of the series as well as his own personal favourite reads.

As if that wasn't enough, Ben reads an exclusive extract from his forthcoming Novella - The Thief and the Phantom, due out at the end of September. 

And head over to www.onlyslightlydrunk.com where we have the worldwide exclusive cover art reveal for the novella.

Awesome! Part 2, where Ben stays with us to talk about Back To The Future, Sobering Thoughts, TWAT and this week's GOAT - Keith Moon - coming soon.

Here's the second part of this week's show, and apologies for the (only) slight delay in uploading, but real life and Victorious Festival got in the way.

We finish our Quiet Drink With...Patch, and move on to discuss Fizz or Flat, featuring the Goonies, before sharing some Sobering Thoughts about Afghanistan and discuss who this week's TWAT is. 

Then it's onto the home stretch with Richard Burton appearing as this week's GOAT and we'll see if Robbo can outwit Logan again in Bollocks or Not?

Featuring an epic drink fueled rant about child poverty and why we're blaming the wrong people for the problems in our country, a detour into the world of toxic masculinty, and finishing with a rousing singalong to "Karma Chameleon", this is THE perfect way to entertain and inform all in one lovely, cuddly package.

Treat yourself.

We're back with more chat, facts and booze, this time with Spiced Rum in tow.
 
 This episode, there's so much content we've had to split it into two parts! 

Part 1 contains Wetting The Whistle, and our A Quiet Drink with... is a fantastically entertaining and interesting interview with Patch Collins in which we talk about his love of playing live music, his inspirations, the bands he's played with and even which artists he thinks are over-rated. 

As a bonus, Patch plays two live acoustic tracks for us, which are just fantastic to listen to.
 
Patch was a wonderfully garrulous and witty guest, and we know you're going to love listening to us getting Only Slightly Drunk with him. 

Part 2, containing Fizz or Flat, Toast to the Goat, Sobering Thoughts, TWAT and Last Orders coming very soon!
