Rural Concerns

Ever wanted to be a podcast producer? This as-live episode will give you an unrivalled insight into the challenges faced by Producer James as he patiently waits for Chris and Sunil to join their scheduled recording session. It’s a bit like an episode of 24 if Jack Bauer just really, really wanted a Sunday roast. The lads also talk about the economic model of Pizza Express. What we’re trying to say is it’s just another banger of an episode.

Sunil reveals his love for the television series Entourage, Producer James talks about deviant European toilets and Chris wishes his son well. The lads also consider what it takes to keep a museum open in this economy and discuss a letter from a man who smells.

Warning: if you don’t like 3 old mates having a good laugh then this isn’t the podcast for you!

Can Sunil survive in the countryside long enough to make his appointment with the Duke and his lovely wife, Countess Shanella Fortardo? Chris immerses Sunil (and his trusty D6) in a multiple choice quest which will test Producer James’ acting talents to their very limits! The lads also read a really, really long letter about a strimmer. Honestly, it’ll blow your mind how long this letter is. 

Should Chris have been working on his Edinburgh Fringe show rather than writing his own Pick-a-Path adventure? Yes! Stop screaming! You can buy tickets now!

This episode also features a blink and you'll miss it reference to The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman. A very cool fantasy romp! Check it out!

Sunil shares a hot recommendation that could leave you blind, Producer James tries to stop the horrendous doxxing and Chris’ elite gaming PC is on the fritz (again!) The lads also discover what lengths one of our listeners will go to for the unbridled joy that is Dune 2.

Triple Chocolate Crunch is also available from M&S (UK). Sunil’s top tip: Do not buy the high protein variant. You can also buy tickets to Chris’ Edinburgh Fringe run: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/chris-cantrill-easily-swayed.

Is it wrong for a man to fill a machine with his love? This is the existential question facing Sunil as he dons an Oculus Rift in pursuit of digital pleasure. When Producer James steps out for but a moment, Chris shares another of his long running feuds. What a stupid life this man leads. The lads also receive their first letter from Pudding, the Rural Concerns goat!

Chris asks if he’s a good man, Producer James moans about his rating average and Sunil can’t get his head around the size of those udders. The boys also officially kick off their feud with the REDACTED. Mild disclaimer: the second half of this ep gets quite meaty.

The boys are back and they’re talking about cars! In this ep Sunil refuses to apologise to mums with prams, Chris says ‘doubloon’ loads and Producer James proves he can park on sixpence. Please note, this is not an election special!
