Tall Boy Radio

Can you imagine what it must be like on the set of a Movie with Hollywood A-listers spouting out iconic lines in front of you? Well our guest, Alec Hirschfield, didn't have to imagine - he was the cameraman on some incredible productions. He joins us to share his stories and experiences. From having Robert De Niro giving his "You talking to me" speech in Taxi Driver whilst staring right at him to a missed opportunity with Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis. It's a life we are frankly quite jealous of! We cram as much as we can in to just one hour... but if you want some more then guess what? Alec has penned his memoirs and you can pick your copy up from Amazon - just click on the link:

Climate Change. Do we all understand the problem and the cause? We're joined by expert Andrew Kythreotis to help us separate the fact from the fiction. Are politicians doing enough? Do we understand the global disagreements that hinder the problem being solved? Is the image of Gaz in budgie-smugglers enough to make us solve the problem for once and for all? Whether you are Greta's greatest supporter or a nay-saying non-believer, this episode is for you as we try to look at the cold hard facts and ignore the hot air opinions. Can this conundrum be solved? Yes. The real question is will it? The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rodriguez and the closing music is "BDS" by Lewis Pickford. tallboyradio.com

Witchcraft - Grade A Mambo Jahambo or a genuine phenomenon? Lynzie Cotton joins us to tell the tale of Helen Duncan - the last person to be tried and convicted under archaic witchcraft laws... as recently as the 1940s. We hear how she upset many folks with her "hoax" shows but it wad when she made an enemy of the British Governent that things went South for dear ol' Hellish Nell. Lynzie educates on the Witchcraft laws and how they came to be and have changed over the years before telling the tale of the Last Witch of Scotland... and there's a recipe for ectoplasm just for good measure.

Trevor Caswell, Canadian musician and all round good guy joins Tall Boy Radio to chat about his varied music back catalogue. The music on each album is different from the last. Buy, there was one song that he had recorded that captured our interest. Despite never visiting the UK, Trevor wrote and recorded a song called The Old Man of Mow - a land mark thousands of miles from his home but only a stone's throw from where Tall Boy Radio is recorded. A monument that the guys had never heard of. We find out what performing live to an audience feels like and how a song grows from inspiration to the final product.

Steven Houghton-Burnett joins us to help us see the world through different eyes - maybe even simulated eyes? Are we living in a simulation? If we were, would it change your outlook on the world? These are just 2 of the many questions posed in this episode. We examine the most common models that we could well be operating within. This episode will make you think. You may dismiss the concept. You may buy into it completely. You will learn something if you keep an open mind. You must have wondered, as we have, what is life all about. We don't have the answers but maybe this episode will help you understand the questions. Go grab yourself a cold one, kick back and simulate enjoyment. 🤔 The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rodriguez and the closing music is "BDS" by Lewis Pickford. tallboyradio.com

Star of the silver screen Benjamin L Newmark and CEO of DBS films and director of movies such as Forest of Death and A Cold Grave Brendan Rudnicki join Tall Boy Radio to talk about their latest film A Cold Grave (check out tallboyradio.com to grab a link to rent it on Amazon). I grew up loving 80s horror films and I'm willing to bet that you did too. It was great to hear about the blood, sweat and tears... and pure passion that went in to making these movies... but it gets better, DBS films use really horror fans in their movies and that could mean that you (and maybe even Beans) could show up in one of their future productions. Listencto this episode... it could make your dreams come true. The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rodriguez and the closing music is "BDS" by Lewis Pickford. tallboyradio.com

Planning a holiday? Bet you watch videos on YouTube to plan your trips! We are joined by Jessica and Wayne (and Trevor the cat) from the YouTube channel Holiday with the Heathers to hear about their journey to becoming "influencers". What makes their videos stand out is not only do they share absolutely everything you need to know but they are honest and genuine people. Their reviews are completely honest and their insights into the destinations are well worth the time you'll invest in watching them. Their journey hasn't been without adversities and the road has been bumpy at times but they love what they do and recognise how fortunate they are to be doing what they do.

We're kicking off the New Year the right way, with one of our favourite guests of all time - Vic Ferrari. The ex-NYPD officer is now a successful author and Podcast host.

Half an anecdotes? Yuup, the Florida weather cut short the podcast after 40 minutes when a storm caused a power outage.... but fear not, he'll be back in episode 209 to finish his anecdote.
