USUK

AL and guest host Andy Imhof speak to promising young actor, Slade Monroe. Slade is a young guy who shows so much drive and composure, it made AL and Andy really look at their younger selves and ask questions!

Starring in 12 Mighty Orphans alongside Luke Wilson and Martin Sheen, Slade plays the part of the quarterback, the dream role for any up and coming talent. This episode is designed to explore Slade's experiences as "the new kid on the block" as he puts it.

In the "Later Lounge" the carpets have just been cleaned and the bar restocked. AL and Andy discuss the most memorable, horrendous times they've had at work. We would love to hear your messed up work stories send them to [email protected] and we will read them out on our live show!

The final chapter of our coverage of The Battle Of Shrewsbury Weekend brings stories from around the arena. As we switched to mobile mode, we were able to get some interviews with folks from all over the Battle Of Shrewsbury showground. We bring you:

At USUK and The Shrewsbury Biscuit, we want to say a huge thank you for letting us be a part of this fantastic weekend. Just being amidst the stunning atmosphere and sampling the passion that you guys hold for what you do was a real honour. We would love to be a part of things next year. Who knows maybe AL might don some armour and a battle axe...we shall see!

Join Alex Whiteley and the big brained Erik Pflueger for Yelling At Clouds: Maximilian Overdrive where they take a look at the 1979 movie, The Black Hole.

Erik forced AL to watch the film, forced him! Leaving him totally perplexed. This shoddy 70's Sci-fi felt like a Star Wars rip off to AL and was full of problems.

Erik's job is to educated us all as to why this movie can be considered as great as it is completely ridiculous. Bringing us evidence of both the flaws and the brilliance of this bright eyed (ahem!) 70's sci-fi.

While AL is away, Tom is here to play...at being a Pod-God! First off Tom speaks to Andy Imhof from The Horsepower Hour Podcast about their first cars and cars they always wanted when they were younger.

Tom then brings in Jeramy Wilcox from Fandom Squad Podcast to help interview music legend, Blue October bassist Matt Noveskey.

What is the life of an "Art Rock Star" like? What was it like joining a band that he was already fond of and where has this journey taken him?

I need to add that I bailed on Tom so he had to build this episode together by himself and after watching it back, I am super proud of him. What a stunning podcasting superstar he is turning out to be. Well done my TransAtlantic amigo! - AL

As mentioned on "What's The Difference" AL was invited to The Battle Of Shrewsbury Weekend. We spoke to Matthew Howarth and the organisers on the show and we said we would release what content we got from the weekend on both USUK and The Shrewsbury Biscuit so this limited playlist is what we got.

Here we speak to a few of the reenactors starting off with Matt and Craig who are donning medieval attire, Matt is wearing pretty heavy armour. What does it mean to these guys to be taking part in this event and exactly how awkward is it to move around in heavy armour?

In part 2 we speak to Matthew Godwin, a local history teacher who has many years of history re-enactment under his belt. Matthew is playing the part of the King for the weekend which is an exciting part to be playing. We speak to Matthew about why this is important to him.

Here we have Peter from Nidhoggr Mead and Sandy from Mercian Mead. I don't know if you realise this but...AL loves Mead! So speaking to these guys with the aid of Leon Whiteley we find out the backstory for these 2 companies and the challenges that are faced when it comes to making mead.

USUK Not so Live makes a dramatic return to the world of audio podcasts with our 36th instalment.

Tom brings in David Rabe, AL and special guest Phil Better from the Phil Better Show and the Invest In Yourself Podcast.

A guest you say? Does that mean? Yes the return of The Gauntlet!!

We apologise for the absence of Not So Live from our channel. There was a huge back-log of editing for a while there so the pressure got to us. We hope you enjoy this episode and laugh as much as we did - AL

Here is Al's interview with author, Robert Marsters. The encouragement of a loving wife and the ability to just sit and write stunning fantasy literature lead to a very popular series of books. What Robert calls the A, B, C of Karrak, starting with "The Ascension Of Karrak".

AL and Tom speak a star of one of the most controversial documentaries of all time "Tiger King" Carole Baskin.
