Episodes
-
F*ck the News, Embrace Ignorance
A chat about my wonky face, corporate merch and embracing ignorance for a happier life. Not that I'm one to explain how to be happier, so take it all with a pinch of salt.
-
Meditate That F*cking Away
Getting angry about the esoteric arts because life is hard and I don't think any of it helps. But look, I did this episode all by myself. No third party recording app. Just raw recording and editing by me. I'm back, baby. Anyone care?
-
Mini-Breakdowns
A lot about how the old noggin stem is dealing with The Calamity, and a joke. An actual joke.
-
Ageing in Fashion Trends
A slightly more upbeat version of the podcast where I still manage to complain about things, but I do it with a smile. Actually I don't. This is as outwardly happy as I get. I don't need your validation (I very much do, please listen to my podcast).
-
Change Your Future Change Your Past
Post-therapy podcast for the descerning listener. Only joking, no one is practicing discernment listening to this.
-
Tom Cruise Life Advice
This was darker than I hoped, but life can be darker than we hoped. I can't keep delaying doing episodes in case they're dark because unsurprisingly, I'm in a dark place right now. But with the right lighting I can make it look good for the podcast.
-
Hating Women for the Algorithm
This *seems* like I'm bashing women and feminism and all females ever born ever, but actually I'm not at all and I'm actually lamenting about the algorithm. Just in a really cryptic way that makes it seem like I'm bashing women. It's all very clever.
-
Big Shampoo
We talk mindset. We talk motivation. We talk mindset. Literally all bases are covered. And mindset. And shampoo.
-
10 "Best" Jokes of the Fringe
Look, I'm desperately trying to make this podcast about comedy again, even though there's nothing funny in the entire world. Yes, I'm in a good mental space. Thanks for asking.
-
FU - Here's Some Meaning
Life loves to kick you when you're down, so come out fighting. Tell me how you to do it if you can work it out.
-
Reaching Out When You Feel Down
A slightly serious episode because this stuff matters. I hope everyone is doing ok. The radio show is linked here: https://www.ousevalleyradio.com/drama/podcasts/the-green-room/episode/the-green-room-8/
-
Fitness Influencer
So it turns out I'm a big deal in the fitness community which makes sense and was a inevitability, really.
-
Coming Out of Gloria Estefan's Dark
A slightly too long podcast. Sorry. But look, I'm on a sofa. More chat about life as I slowly look more and more like my Dad.
-
Hand of God Moment
Just checking in because I've got a mic and it needs to be used. It's Chekhov's Mic. More post-calamity news.
-
Flickering Character
I don't know who I am or even why I'm doing this anymore. Perhaps it's automatic behaviour, like zombies going to the mall in Dawn of the Dead.
-
Calamity
An update.
-
Ep 881 - Pandemic Zoom Quiz
Why is live so hard that people have to bosh back meds? Why did we all do zoom quizzes during the pandemic? Why did I hate school when all they were doing was trying to make me a better person? All this isn't answered, and more, in this new episode of The Evening Almanac. Mostly.
-
Ep 880 - Building a Stair System
A lovely little chat about DIY and what it means for married men, as well as getting caught podcasting. Basically.
-
Ep 879 - Zen and the Art of Shouting
Having a meltdown here for no reason other than I'm an idiot. With a bad haircut. More of that later. Basicially.
-
Ep 878 - Living It Up in the Simulation
Look! Literally, it's a new video podcast. We're talking about living in a simulation and Gola tracksuits. Mostly.
-
Ep 879 - Men's Mental Health, Yeah?
A bit of discussion on life and how being a middle-aged man comes with it's own problems, just like everyone has problems. Basically.
-
Ep 878 - Artemis II, Gigs and the Amount of Podcasts
There are too many podcasts, but I've been doing it since 2016 if that means anything. On this episode we talk about the NASA Artemis II launch and how exciting it is but we didn't go to the moon in 1969. I literally know nothing about anything. Essentially.
-
Ep 877 - Stop Drumming Up Business
An existential chat about all things existential. Basicially.
-
Ep 876 - Avoiding Arguing with an Audience Member
At a gig I did yesterday, there was a very opinionated man who wanted to talk politics. I avoided arguing with him as I'm a brilliant person and better than him, but instead I took it out on this podcast episode, which is sort of like a trauma dump. Sorry and all that. Essentially.
-
Ep 875 - New Mic Who Dis
The title of this epside annoys me. And I wrote it. A bit about being a struggling comedian with a bad back, and a weird gig, all spoken about on shiny new equipment. Basically.
-
Ep 874 - When the Police Get Called to a Gig
Two gigs this week. One good, one didn't really happen because of disruption. Yeah. Basically.
-
Ep 873 - Natural Born Professional
I gig some gigs and no feel like I'm an undiscovered talent, I dunno what to call myself, I bought a Macbook Neo and I confess something. Basically.
-
Ep 872 - Professional Jealousy
Sounds like I'm having a moan but in fact this is a well crafted motivational speech. Thanks. Basically.
-
Ep 871 - Brian McFadden's Crimes Against Humanity
Having a corporate job is immature. Brian McFadden's solo single was appalling. I'm not angry at anyone but myself. There. You don't need to listen to this now. Basically.
-
Ep 870 - Laughing about Alcoholism
Haha trauma is funny. I mean it's not, but whatever. Basically.
-
Ep 869 - I Gotta Commit
Some hard home truths that came to me as an epiphany. Which is a nice way of saying I had a thought. Essentially.
-
Ep 868 - Free Iran (or I Went to the Comedy Store)
A podcast episode of two halves. The first I talk about going to the Comedy Store and meeting Tim Vine and Jack Dee. The second is all about what's happening in Iran. Because I have *opinions*. You have been warned. Oh and there's a cool but hideously Ai song at the end. I'm sorry, I was mucking...
-
Ep 867 - Stephen Fry's Godhead
This is a video episode. Yes I keep on trying to do these but I actually hate them. This is what comedy does to you, it makes you record your face in your bedroom. This episode I call Stephen Fry an idiot as I'm clearly smarter than he is. Essentially.
-
Ep 866 - Gig Review and Comedy Store Visit
Yes I know I haven't done a podcast for a week, but neither have you. Unless you have. A bit about a gig I did yesterday, and some news about going to the Comedy Store (not to perform, obvious-f*cking-ly). Bascially.
-
Ep 865 - Set Your Intent (The Best Podcast Episode Ever)
This is the best podcast edpisode I've ever done. Essentially.
-
Ep 864 - Valentine's and Gig Review
Haven't recorded an episode for a while. What are you going to do about it, complain to the Podcasting Ombudsman? There isn't even one. You'd have to start one, then lodge a complaint and that wouldn't wash is there'd be a conflict of interest, considering you were the ombudsman, so you'd have to...
-
Ep 863 - Epstein and All That
What a crazy week for news ans what to do about it. Kinda.
-
Ep 862 - Spiritual Genocide
About trying to be creative in a world that doesn't want you to be. Basically.
-
Ep 861 - Ai Is The New Brain Rot
Went to a comedy workshop, wrote some new stuff, dared to run it through the sh*t machine that's Ai. Basically.
-
Ep 860 - Freedom, Baby!
I rant about things, mostly Harry Styles. Essentially.
-
Ep 859 - Midlife Crisis Newcomers
It's 2026, so I'm trying video again. You don't have to watch my face talk nonsense; it doesn't really add anything to the experience, but it means that once in a while, I can upload a clip to social media. I dunno man, I'm just trying to work out how to get some traction whilst also not wanting…
more -
Ep 858 - Brooklyn Beckham Bashing
I’m feeling insecure so I decide to pick on a celebrity I don’t even know rather than sorting out my own sh*t. Essentially.
-
Ep 857 - Some BS About Masculinity
Important! I think I had either noise reduction turned on at the mic, or I accidentally put it on when I mastered it (I’ve done it before) so every now and again it sounds like a word is cut off. So this episode is more annoying than usual. So what’s this one about? Well, I, a man, talk about…
more -
Ep 856 - Famous and Success People
A braindump of thoughts, mainly about being successful and talented, lucky and rich. I mean, who cares? Basically.

Ep 855 - Action Cures Anxiety
Action cures anxiety, but so does napping. Mostly.

A weekend round up and some existential well-clever pondering about middle-aged destiny. Or something. Basically.
-
Ep 853 - The Weather is Colder Than Your Nan's Vag
I have. gig tonight. Historically, first gigs back in January are always rubbish. Let's see. I also get annoyed about people complaining. By complaining. Mostly.
-
Ep 852 - Manifesting Prick
It's 5th January, and I'm already struggling with the creative pressure. Essentially.
-
Ep 851 - Lying in Your Own Vomit
A bit about being back at the gym, a bit about sea swims, and a bit about teenage drinking. In that order. Basically.
-
Ep 850 - ChatGPT Gave Me New Year's Goals
Happy new year or whatever, It's cold, it's wintery and you have to go back to work. Why are we celebrating again? We talk goals, and Ai, because this is a proper podcast, not an absolute sham of an ego project, you got that? Basically.
