S00E27 ALBUMS ONLY CLUB Hounds of Love by Kate Bush (opens the original)
Read excerpt
HOUNDS OF LOVE BY KATE BUSH: Reviewed! If only could … make a deal with POD! I’d get him to swap our places. Cos then you’d have Christopher on the thumbnails and shownotes and Jeffrey on the production end! Hahahaha! Trust me, Christopher could whip up a pic and some words but Jeffrey might struggle with conjuring the pristine audio experience Christopher likes to cook up in the kitchen for all of y’all week in and week out, even when some of the ingredients he gets are not ideal … this week’s
S07E21 A huge cultural event that our show properly just shrugged its shoulders at (opens the original)

THE THICK OF IT PILOT: Reviewed! Another hour full of all sorts of shit. Two guys saying things to each other and/or at each other. Folding iPhones and all sorts. Siri tries to butt in, as she often does. The cold open gets sweary. Very a guy just watched the pilot of The Thick Of It and Malcolm Tucker is his new spirit animal. We both give main character energy on this episode because we’re both very excited about the 21 year old pilot of The Thick Of It. Politics has outpaced satire by the yea

NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE: Reviewed! We have a plan! We have a vision. Whether it is to get famous, “podcast famous” (very different to regular famous), play Wembley, Trinity or even the Rivoli … rest assured … we have a plan. And this episode might not exactly provide spoilers for how we’re going to parlay this podcast lark into a movie eventually but it is a skeleton key of sorts for this eventual phoenix-like transformation we will one day experience. Until then, keep up every one!

MOURINHO EPISODE 1: Reviewed! We’re sorry! Because we’re NOT a football podcast and the world cup is LONG GONE and yet … here we are again! We are honestly kind of confused. A Chelsea fan and a Manchester United fan started a podcast about culture a few years ago but sometimes … football just gets a hold of us! It’s a lot! It is childhood and nostalgia and the art of the sport and the soap opera and characters and drama of it all. It is storytelling! It is dudes hanging out with the apparatus of
S07E19 I don't have dreams!? I want to go to work and be good!? (opens the original)

OFFICE ROMANCE: Reviewed! Much like Proust’s madeleine (bear with me here) Christopher’s Huel meal really opened up an entire world of thought for us during the cold open today. Stay tuned for Christopher’s secret tidbit that might save you on a future delayed journey from Victoria station. Perhaps if Brett had included the differences in US and UK attitudes towards pints of ice water … one of us would have been more on board with today’s film! And to be fair to the makers of this film: we also
