by Where are we going with this?
I was sat with Ben and Conor in a wonderful burger establishment (the pick up point in Swindon). The two mused whimsically on historical events whilst I chowed down on a chicken wing the size of a baby's foot (it was not covered in buffalo sauce). I don't know if it was the poultry or the pints, but that conversation went down like a fine side salad (the vinaigrette was wonderful), and I wanted more.A month or so later we sat in my garden shed, lit up a couple of coffees (plus a redbull for Conor) and spoke for way too long into 3 SM58s (a microphone for anyone who wants to know). The podcast was way too long, so we scrapped it (along with another).Anyway, we've created a few episodes of what we think is listenable content. I would say this falls into the "Ambient" podcast category, meaning, don't listen to this if you want to learn anything. You may hear the odd fun fact that you can dish out over Christmas, but other than that it's all soft spoken jazz. Are y

The Gunpowder Plot, Pumpkin Spiced Lattes, and How to Efficiently Unwrap a Kinder Bueno
In this episode, Ben, Conor, and I chat s*** about Guido Fawkes and his cronies. Why is this event talked about so much? It's almost romanticized...When was the last time you burned an effigy of the Pope? I never have, out of respect. What's interesting here is how these seeds of tradition have become ingrained in our culture over time.How these traditions grow and how they fade. When my parents were kids, they would ask, "Penny for a Guy?" By the time I was a sprog, I knew nothing about this but could delicately light the back of the Yonshakudama, eyes closed.If Robert Catesby were alive today, would he j'adore a white Kinder Bueno? Who knows; I'm personally not a fan of its density.Listen to this episode for a basic understanding of the plan to blow up Parliament and a bit of insight into who Guy Fawkes really was.Written by Neil.
