Which is the Best? Podcast

WELCOMETO MIM FEST!

That's right, this weeks 'Which is the Best?' is a music festival special, join Lee Kyle and Sammy Dobson as they take an audio journey around the greatest music festival of all time and decide Which is the Best between things that have the same (or similar names)as legendary recording artists.

Look at the line up!

The Beatles! (Are they better than beetles)

Cream! (Are these tedious old men better than cream? (Posh milk))

Nirvana! (Is sadness better than a state of bliss?

Scooter! (They have the most German top tens of any German band ever (!) but are they better than a sort of flat bike?)

REM! (Better than that bit of sleep where you do dreams? Warning - This section has a joke in it of which Lee is unjustifiably proud)

Van Morrison! (Or a Morrison's van. Not a good enough pun is it?)

The Strokes! (Or, you know, quite a sad thing t happen to an elderly relative...)

Red Hot Chilli Peppers! (Or searing burning pain in your mouth?)

Eminem! (Or M&Ms)

Placebo! (Sugar-free Diet goths or pretendy medicine?)

What a line up, what a world...

It's Episode 24 of 'Which is the Best?' the comedy podcast that decides which is the best between things with the same or similar names.

This week, Lee Kyle and Sammy Dobson sit in a recording studio(car) and choose between:

Anne Hathaway (Film star) and Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare's lass)

and

PC (Unreliable computer), PC (The old Bill) and PC (Gone mad)

Lovely episode this, don't be a mim, have a listen.

Episode 23 of 'Which is the Best' podcast is a bit of a cracker we think.

Every week, Lee Kyle & Sammy Dobson decide which is the best out of things with similar or identical names.

This week, in Lee's hometown of Jarrow, the sit in a car in view of the river where they used to have public hangings and choose between:

Mail (Getting a letter) or Male (A man)

and, in the category of 'Tread carefully, lest you show large scale ignorance':

Hen do (A bachelorette party) or Hindu (Adherent to hinduism)

We enjoyed the second bit of wordplay so much that we very much decided it was worth traversing the rocky waters of potential cultural insensitivity .Plus, we have a friend called Rahul who would have almost certainly have said it was alright if we'd asked him*

*It actually is alright, we are perfectly decent people.

For the 22nd time, Lee Kyle and Sammy Dobson sit in a recording studio (Sammy's car) and decide 'Which is the Best?' out of things with similar or identical names.

This week:

Flour or flower? Is bread powder better than a plants face?

AND

Psycopaths or cycle paths? Do we prefer naughty life destroyers to a road for bikes?

Can we have a key to the door please? Episode 21 of Which is the Best? is here!

This week Lee Kyle and Sammy Dobson do what they always do, they decide which is best between things of similar or identical names.

THIS WEEK:

Comics ("Erm... actually it's a graphic novel") or comics (Lonely weirdos with microphone access).

and

Tart (Lemons and that), tart (Upgraded flan) or tart (Enthusiastically dressed lady).

Incidentally, the picture here is of the comedian Si Buglass and has nothing to do with the episode. But look at it! LOOK AT IT!

Episode 20 is a day early because Lee is going to Eindhoven tomorrow and will be too busy doing whatever it is they do in Eindhoven to be doing it then.

Welcome to Which is the Best, a podcast where Lee Kyle and Sammy Dobson decide which is best between things of identical or similar names.

It was almost a disaster this episode...

It was supposed to be the 'Britpop special' for some reason, where we were going to decide whether ten bands of the era were better than ten things that sound like them (eg are Pulp better than pulp? Are Menswear better than men who swear?).

But there was a problem.

It was total shit. Turns out Menswear just aren't interesting.

So we started again and instead present a variation on the theme:

SO!

We decide between (The oft' requested) Oasis (Arguing Manc Beatle enthusiasts), Oasis (Adequate juice), Oasis (A shop with shoes so hot they were sure to blow your mind) and Oasis (A puddle in a desert).

Then, in a controversial last minute decision, we decide 'Which is the best?' between lip balm (Chapped lip soother) and a chip barm (What they call a chip butty in Manchester. To our American listeners, that is sort of like a French fry sandwich).

So, I guess, in a way, this is very much a Manchester themed episode.

Welcome to Episode 19 of Which is the Best? podcast!

It's a podcast where Lee Kyle and Sammy Dobson decide which is the best between things with similar or identical names.

This week:

Stationary or stationary. Are pencil sharpeners and erasers and glitter pens and stuff better than not moving?

Mate or mate. Are friends better than, you know, getting your leg over and stuff.

Also, in a revelation he couldn't make without blushing, Lee reveals to the world the job he's been imagining he does since 1996. Does he come out of it sounding okay? No. Gavel.

18 Episodes in and the time has come to ponder some of lif'es big questions.

Death. That's one, changing the colours of stuff, that's another. Yep, in this episode of the podcast where we (Lee and Sammy) decide 'Which is the Best?' out of things with the same or similar names, we decide whether it is better to Die or to Dye.

Even though it's obvious.

Is it safe to die your downstairs pink?

By the way, the picture we've used here is from around the time Lee dyed his hair in the way he described in the episode, that tale emerging like the long suppressed memory it was. He's the one in the middle with 90s hair (It was in the 90s, so it's fine).

Then, is a wave (At the seaside) better than a wave (YOOHOO!)?

WITB? - Absolutely featuring some footage of a former Byker Grove actress crying about a high achieving doggy.

Episode 17 is recorded at a car park in Beamish museum.

If you are a regular, you'll know why. The picture that accompanies this episode is one that Sammy found from an earlier visit to this museum. Yes, THAT is what he looks like!

This week, Lee Kyle and Sammy Dobson decide Which Is The Best between:

Ants and Aunts. Is an insect that can lift up a quite large leaf better than that lass that lives with your uncle?

and

Spirits or spirits. Is booze better than ghosts?

Featuring:

SORE ARMS!

THE TIME LEE DRUNK SOMETHING HE SHOULDN'T HAVE!

THE TIME LEE DRUNK SOMETHING ELSE HE REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE!

ANT HOLOCAUST

Episode 16 is here, it would probably be a themed 'Sweet 16' episode if that was a thing that had any cultural resonance in the Northeast of England. But it hasn't, so it isn't.

Instead, Lee and Sammy decide whether the AA (Car accident demi heroes) are better than AA (Booze crutches). They phone a lady who works for the AA with a question and she is nice so they feel bad.

Then, what of Beef (Cow flesh) and Beef (An argument between rappers)? Which is the best out of them? We have a beef (Argument one) about it.
