  • The Tom & Jo Show - Episode 16: Ten Influential Albums

    This episode comes at you from lockdown having only been recorded days ago!

    We took part in one of the many, many social media lists that circulated while people were shut indoors in the early days of lockdown. The 'challenge' was to post pictures of ten albums over ten days that have influenced our taste in music or changed our lives with no explanations. However, a few people asked us to explain our choices, so we decided that we'd record an entire episode of the podcast to briefly explain our choices for each album.

    We hope you've all managed to keep sane and safe during this truly bizarre year.

    Why not send us your list of ten albums that have influenced your musical taste or has changed your life in some way? Find us on Twitter and Facebook.

  • The Tom & Jo Show: Episode 15 - Musical Biopics

    OK, full disclosure: This episode was recorded almost a year ago, just after the last episode went out. We forgot we'd recorded it, Tom couldn't bring himself to edit it down for ages after discovering it because it was two hours of well-oiled, meandering, late-night chat.

    However, the Coronavirus pandemic has meant more time to get things done, so finally here is the heavily, heavily edited version of Episode 15 of the Tom & Jo Show. It was recorded just after watching Yesterday at the cinema in 2019 and we talk through our favourite musical biopics including Walk The Line, The Buddy Holly Story, Amadeus, Florence Foster Jenkins and many many more.

    Please do get i touch with your favourites, we've not recorded another episode since, but may well do if we think of the right topic, especially if it's something that comes from one of our listeners.

    Find us on Facebook and Twitter @TheTomAndJoShow ad please share this episode with your friends. Enjoy!

  • The Tom & Jo Show - Episode 14: Favourite Pizza Topping

    In this long awaited episode of the Tom & Jo Show we talk about our favourite pizza toppings and the general wonderousness that is pizza. The age old debate of whether it's right to have pineapple on a pizza or not (it's fine... if not encouraged).

    Tom reads off a list of the UK's favourite pizza toppings to see how our taste compares to the rest of the nation with bizarre results.

    Why not get in touch with your favourite toppings? We#ll try to remember to discuss it on the next episode, depending on when we record it!

    Find us on Facebook and Twitter @TheTomAndJoShow and please share this episode with your friends.

    Cheers!

  • The Tom & Jo Show – Episode 13: Serial Killers
    Trouble with the old website has set back the release of this episode of The Tom & Jo Show, but we're finally here with a whole show dedicated to serial killers!
    Jo conforms to the stereotype of a woman who is 'interested' in serial killers and TV shows and literature about murderers, something that Tom feels more than a little unsettled by!
    Obviously it would be obscene to rank them, so this is just a list of bad men and women and some of things they've done.
    The next episode will be slightly more 'fun', we promise!

  • The Tom & Jo Show – Episode 11: Top Five Frontmen and Musicians
    Having been nearly a year since the last episode, we thought it was about time to release a new episode.
    The format has been changed somewhat though. This is the first of many 'list' shows where we will be compiling our top five frontmen and as a special bonus, as you've waited so long, our top five musicians.
    Now, we're very aware that we will have missed out certain people from the lists, this is mainly because we want the show to remain somewhat spontaneous, but also because we want some more debate and interaction, especially after so long. You're more than welcome to get in contact with us on Twitter and Facebook to let us know how we missed out and give us your lists... it's unlikely we'll change our minds but you never know!
    We had a lot of fun recording this and have included some outtakes at the end of the episode so you can hear some of it. We also hope you enjoy listening to it.
    P.S. If any of you have copies of episode 8 and 9 and wouldn't mind sending them to us, please get in touch, it's a long shot, but we lost the files when the website got hacked a little while back and would love to have the for the obvious reason that no one else will be able to hear them in future, which is sad. So please, if you have them, get in touch and make us happy!

  • The Tom & Jo Show – Episode 10: Congratulations Ant & Liz
    We're back to congratulate our good friends and fellow podcaster Ant and Liz on their recent nuptials.
    This podcast is an audio present, of sorts letting then know how honoured we were to be invited and doubly so that they chose Tom to be usher on the day too. It's also a chance for us to give our view on the day, including one of two things the happy couple probably missed as weddings can be a massive blur for the bride and groom.
    We wish you both all the best as you embark upon the next phase of your life together and hope you have a wonderful honeymoon.
    All the best guys, see you when you get back!

  • The Tom & Jo Show – Episode 9: Tekken
    It's 2016 and we've decided to lighten the mood and start 2016 on a more positive and less heavy note than the last two episodes. This time we're discussing the computer game series Tekken. It's been a big part of both our gaming lives and one of the few games we can play together with fun characters and where one person doesn't really have to have skill on their side to beat the other.
    Nice and simple after the holiday period that can be a bit of an overload on the senses. Please get in touch with us on Facebook and Twitter or email us at [email protected] and let us know what your favourite Tekken characters are or which of the games you enjoyed, which you didn't, etc.
    Good to have you back!

  • The Tom & Jo Show – Episode 8 (Part 2) & Christmas
    We're back to finish off the episode where we lament the passing of time. In the first part of the episode (released months ago, as we haven't had the time!) we asked the audience for their own interpretation of time and how they manage it.
    We realise this was a difficult question to answer, so are really pleased and thankful to have had any response at all. So, a big thank you to Robbie Polanco and Andrew Bartlett for their time.
    It seems the answer is just to force yourself to make time for the things you enjoy.
    The second half of the episode centres around the impending on-coming of Christmas and our favourite songs and films, as well as what we've asked Father Christmas for this year.
    Please get in touch with us on Twitter and Facebook (just search The Tom & Jo Show and you'll find us) or email [email protected] and put the show title in the title, and let us know your favourite things about Christmas time and how you'll be spending your time.
    Finally, have a great holiday, merry Christmas and happy new year. We wish you all the best for the year ahead. See you in 2016!

  • The Tom & Jo Show – Episode 8: Time (Part 1)
    Time. Where does it all go, eh?

    We finally sat down and recorded an episode after half a year or so! This time we're talking about... well, time.

    It hasn't felt like six months since we sat down and recorded our Room 101 show, but somehow it has been.

    Instead of doing a full show, we've split it into two parts, this first one where we give a brief introduction to the theme and the second part, which will (hopefully) include some listener feedback about how you deal with time. Is there anything you do to maximise your free time? Do you find that time slips away without you realising it? If so, do you see this as a negative or positive?

    Please do get in contact on Facebook, Twitter or send in longer messages (maybe even video/audio messages!) to [email protected]

    We look forward to hearing from you and discussing your views. And finally, thank you for sticking with us through the silence. We'll really try to be more regular in future.
