The Tangentialists

To celebrate their 10th podcast, Ben and Jonas this week open some fan mail - well, two bits of fan mail at least. We also deep-dive into some Gatsby and Jonas speaks some Legalese. As ever, tangents are not only encouraged, but relied upon.

Feel free to contact us with comments, questions or suggestions at [email protected]. We love to hear from listeners!

This week, Ben and Jonas are joined by their friend Ines. We discuss dissapointing our past selves, disappointing our future selves, and in the process, dissapoint our present selves with some truly awful maths. Our apologies if you're mathematically inclined. As ever, tangents are not encouraged, but relied upon.

This week, Ben complains to Jonas about queueing, and Jonas reveals his curious Sherlock Holmes obsession. No guitars are features in this episode. As ever, tangents are not only encouraged, but relied upon.

This week, Ben pitches Jonas some of his business ideas. The reception is mixed. Ben also insists on saying Karl Lagerfeld's name incorrectly. Sorry Karl. As always, tangents are not only encouraged, but relied upon.

This week, Ben and Jonas have an existential crisis, before turning to some recently released University Rankings. We end by discussing a random array of topics, ranging from university housing ballots to Jonas's favourite show: 'Instant Hotel'.

This week, Ben & Jonas talk trends of all varieties - music, fashion, social sciences, you name it. We end with a game of the classic 'Cat or Eagle'. Enjoy!

This week, Ben and Jonas spend a long time talking about books, followed by a brief segment where they try to appear knowledgeable about sport. Our apologies to any sports fans out there. As ever, tangents are not only encouraged, but relied upon.

This week, Ben & Jonas try something a little new - they pre-prepare something to talk about. It wasn't particularly appreciated by either party, but please enjoy nonetheless a chat about the University of Oxford, University life in general, and how the pair feel about being two fresh-faced graduates. 

In this episode, Ben and Jonas spending a numbing length of time talking about the intricacies of care. If you're able to work out what they were trying to say, please do get in touch to tell them what that was - it would be news to them.

This week, Ben and Jonas embark on their journey to full millenial status by starting a podcast. They also fail to play the Wikipedia Game, and Jonas reveals a shocking truth about his film habits. As ever, tangents are not only encouraged, but relied upon.
