    We were away for a bit. Soz. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  3. 103 - Lovevenge

    What do you think of when you think of Canada? Maple Syrup? Poutine? Hit TV show Due South starring Paul Haggis, who looks like what happens if you cross Brendan Fraser and the guy that played Hercules in the one that was like Xena, but not Xena. How about terrible driving? Turns out Canada has...

  4. 102 - Hula Hoopin'

    With Jack gone forever so begins our Saved by the Bell: The New Class years, or that bit in Buffy when she wasn’t at school anymore and had to deal with a whole host of new problems.We expect to gather up some new hip cool listeners, yet retain our original core of Wikishufflers, casting aside…

    more
  5. 101 - Unexpected Item in Bagging Area

    After a long delay, the Wikishuffle crew is back to normally scheduled broadcasting. Expect us every second week with our spin off show Goodnight Sweetcast filling in the gaps.This week we examine the correlation between the attractiveness of shoppers and their supermarket of choice, in a...

  6. 100 - A Centennial Extravaganza

    Wasn't it lovely of the Queen to send us a telegram for our 100th episode, which is definitely something that happened and we certainly didn't just doctor an old lady's 100th birthday telegram, because that would probably be treason.And this bumper 100th episode special has been a long time in…

    more
  7. 099 - Interspecies Love & High Jinks

    The British monarchy pushes Chris's buttons, a coquettish woodpigeon pushes Jack's buttons and Philip is too busy pushing listener's buttons to have time for any of his own. It's the last ever double-digit episode of Wikishuffle, and we're spending the whole episode talking about young girls....

  8. 098 - Scrutinising Woo-woos

    We recorded this episode bloody ages ago, so our cutting edge references to the deaths of King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand and Jean 'Hilda Ogden' Alexander have probably already been forgotten. Especially since this is 2016, or the Year of 1,000 Corpses as I prefer to call it.In this week's...

  9. 097 - Worry Bubbles

    We're fast becoming the Wikishuffle Mental Health Hour. Please bear in mind that we're not psychologists and our prognosis of everything being fine and normal and generally attributable to the mugging ennui of twenty-first century existence is not backed up by any medical qualification.Elsewhere,...

  10. 096 - Big Tushy Girls

    You'd be forgiven for thinking that we're a bit bum-obsessed at Wikishuffle HQ, but that simply isn't true. We just go wherever the random article button takes us. And it just so happens to pique our interest whenever anything derriere-ery comes our way. Or maybe it's just fate.Apparently fate…

    more
  11. 095 - Chicken Breakfast

    Most podcasts don't transition from whimsy to cheese to chess to frank discussions about mental health. But then Wikishuffle isn't most podcasts. In fact, statistics will tell you that Wikishuffle is actually less than 10% of podcasts. Look it up if you don't believe me.And, what's more, you can...

  12. 094 - Calpol is a Medicine

    Remember Chrisville from Episode 66? Sure you do - it's the island Chris is planning to build and govern. Since undoubtedly all Wikishuffle listeners will absolutely definitely be emigrating there as soon as humanly possible, you'd better listen to this week's episode to bone up on a few more of...

  13. 093 - Fish & Chips

    Things aren't nearly as jovial as this week's cover photo might suggest, as we take a look at the political abyss that the western world appears to be getting sucked into in 2016.If only Thomas the Tank Engine were here to make everything feel better. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for…

    more
  14. 092 - Meeting the Babadook

    "It's a hypothetical situation about spider being on your penis. Just go with it."Can you believe we've made it all the way to episode 92 before bringing up the hypothetical situation about a spider being on your penis and just going with it? Me neither.In the intro to this week's episode we out...

  15. 091 - A Disappointment for Yarmouth

    It's an episode where we read out lists of what things are called in different countries. That sounds like fun, right? Specifically, a beloved character and a niche sport.Want to know what beloved character and which niche sport? Well then you'll have to listen. Or look at the show notes at...

  16. 090 - Muck-Men and The Werecat

    We've had just about all we can stand from Jack, so we're holding an intervention. It's for his own benefit, you understand. So that we're not forced to murder him during a recording session when things get out of hand.Prior to that it's an educational episode: Film studies, Home Economics and PE...

  17. 089 - Hot Blood

    Given that episode 19, way back in July 2015 was called Got Blood, it seems inevitable that episode 159 will be called iot blood. And taken to its natural conclusion, you can expect to be listening to our final installment - Zot Blood - some time in the summer of 2036*.This week we have plagues,...

  18. 088 - Golden Delicious

    Sticking closely to our remit, there's barely any Wikipedia and absolutely zero shuffling in this week's episode. Most of our time instead is spent admiring Jack's newly acquired status of Fruit Ninja.There's a Papa John's update to, so do feel free to tweet @papajohnsuk, and be sure to use...

  19. 087 - The Island of Doctor Wallace

    Evolution gets a helping hand from the deranged mind of Christopher Wallace this week - a man whose idea of self-improvement skews somewhat unconventional.When not accusing a deceased Guinness World Record holder of being a liar, or critiquing the physiological nuances of rodents, Phil finds time...

  20. 086 - Malcolm The Fish Man

    Wikipedia barely gets a look in this week, as we dedicate episode 86 to Corby hero Malcolm 'the Fish Man' Viales, try to decide whether Jack is smarter than a pig and stick it hard to the fascists of Kettering Borough Council.Why not tell us about the local celebrities from your shitty town? You...

  21. 085 - The Shameless Pokemongo Crossover Episode

    Our founding father and resident Snorlax has returned after a six week hiatus trekking wild Pokemon in the depths of Northamptonshire.To celebrate Jack's renewal of hosting duties and hopefully cash in on the maelstrom of Pokemongo that's ravaging the known universe, we let him chat about his...

  22. 084 - Buff Leatherman

    In her sixth and final outing on Wikishuffle (for now, at least), Ruth Bradley spends most of the episode making crude hand signals, willfully unaware of the limitations of audio podcasting.Phil regails us with some actual first hand (and not very flattering) experience of our first random…

    more
  23. 083 - (Bonus) Nannas in the Attic with Amy Walker

    Second outing for Amy Walker to pick some more Wikipedia articles for us to take a look at.Two articles of European history this week. We examine some evidence that suggests 93% of all Russian men are called Yuri, and ponder the question of what to do when you've got more Parisian nannas than you...

  24. 082 - The Bumisode

    There's about three minutes in the middle of this week's episode where we're not speaking about bums, but even then we make the phrase 'visa bungle' sound vaguely bummish.So we're talking cod science, Olympians and IOOPP (incidental out-of-place poops).A special big thank you to Chris (and his...

  25. 081 - (Bonus) Rowbotham with Amy Walker

    Thanks to Amy Walker for being our special guest article selector this week. You can find her writing at http://trans--scribe.blogspot.co.uk/.The first article she brings along is intended specifically as an insult to Phil (so kind), but backfires on poor Ruth and Chris.And then, as we've come to...

  26. 080 - $$$LotharioBanker007$$$

    In which we attempt to dupe the gold diggers and hamburgers of the internet into a yachting adventure with Paul Hollywood, explain how you can buy a camel and let Chris record the outro.No Jack again this week, so Ruth Bradley's sitting in again, helping us to give the hacking victims of Ashley...

  27. 079 - Military Choreographer

    No Jack this week, but don't let that worry you (I know, you weren't), as we've got Ruth Bradley instead.Having Ruth visit at Wikishuffle HQ certainly hasn't made us raise the tone any. In fact, it's just a matter of time before the conversation inevitably descends to looking up pictures of poop…

    more
  28. 078 - Fifty Hasselhoffs

    Other potential titles for this episode included, but were not limited to:- The Emotionless Tattoo- Swiping Right on a Klansman- LARPing in a Pret- Marvin Lee Aday Keeps the Doctor AwayThat last one was obviously the best, but it was too long to fit in the show graphic. Them's the breaks.It's...

  29. 077 - Faces of the Women of the Demons

    Sure, you might be semi-interested in some ancient Indian religious relics, or the fact that this is our most Jeff Goldblum-centric episode to date, but what you really want to hear is the announcement of our new spin-off podcast. You, and everyone you know. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy...

  30. 076 - Penelope Cruz With a Drawn-On Beard

    Just a few days left to vote for Wikishuffle for the 2016 New Media Europe Best Podcast 2016 award. We'd be proper grateful for your support. Head over to wikishuffle.co.uk to find out how to vote.This week (after Chris finally turns up), we analyse some disco lyrics, mourn the death of some...

  31. 075 - Philip Sharman's Day Off

    Have you ever posed yourself the question "I wonder what fictitious couple Jack would choose for a hypothetical threesome"? Well, ponder no more.Plus, have a listen to our hot take on the backlash for the new Ghostbusters film (spoiler - all men are terrible).As we press the random article button...

  32. 074 - Captain Dance on Disco Island

    There's been an emergency!Not quite the Wikishuffle crew-member death that we were preparing for when we recorded this emergency episode back in February, but an emergency nonetheless.They (Northamptonshire County Council) are resurfacing the road outside Wikishuffle HQ, and it turns out that's...

  33. 073 - (Bonus) Scurvy McPlankenwalk with Stacey Taylor

    Stacey from her eponymous pop culture parlour podcast is back for our second special guest episode for May.We've dialled down the smut this time around, and we're talking things nautical and anime.Don't forget that Stacey will be holding her 24-hour podcast marathon later in the summer and you…

    more
  34. 072 - World's 51st Best Podcast

    We're not bitter. Honest, we're not. The Guardian explicitly told us they were going to feature Wikishuffle in their podcast feature and they didn't. That's fine. We understand. And we definitely didn't take it personally.In other news, please acknowledge us where the Guardian so ardently refused...

  35. 071 - (Bonus) Vadge Bishop with Stacey Taylor

    While we may have used the odd sweary word in the past, this is the first Wikishuffle episode where I feel the need to issue a specific warning for adult content.You see, this is what happens when we allow a West Midlander to breach the sacred divide that is the M6. She brings with her a whole…

    more
  36. 070 - Floaty Sex Dirt

    Leicester City have won the Premier League - hear it here last. Despite Jack's obvious giddiness we try and knuckle down to some Wikishuffling and let the random article button plot our path for us.Sumatra and Texas are this week's destinations. Why not join us? Hosted on Acast. See...

  37. 069 - The Gems of Azamore

    It's episode 69. Please try not to snigger, that would be infantile.We've accidentally Wikishuffled our way into a racism special, which is nice. Some from the 30's (when nobody knew any better), some from the 21st century (when people definitely should know better - we're looking at you, Urban...

  38. 068 - Lifehack Your Lagging

    Two episodes in two days? It's a Wikishuffle personal best (or worst, depending on your point of view).In this week's episode, we're calling out Scientologists, and are definitely the only media outlet ever to have done so [citation needed].Other than that, you can hear our take on pooltime fun,...

  39. 067 - (Bonus) Wax Lacks Whack Slacks with Keith Clark

    Time for the second half of this month's guest episodes, and we're swingin' on the flippity flop with Keith Clark once again.It's quite clear to everyone who his favourite member of the Wikishuffle team is. Chris is lavished with gifts, and his opinions on animals with jobs are given altogether…

    more
  40. 066 - Iustus id Somnus

    We side with Bill Gates over Steve Jobs, ponder what the Sweaty Girl Look of the nineteen sixties might have involved and clarify for the record that Jack is NOT the alter-ego of rambunctious superhero Fashion Man.Then we're heading towards international waters, and there's some planning afoot....

  41. 065 - (Bonus) Guinea Pig Shaving with Keith Clark

    The first of our April special guest episodes, and joining us at Wikishuffle HQ is Scroobius Pip super-fan, cross stitcher extraordinaire, canaleer and all-round good egg Keith Clark.It takes us a while to get onto any actual Wikipedia articles because Keith is too busy embarrassing Jack and...

  42. 064 - Cricket with Gary Barlow

    We are one! 12-months of Wikishuffle firmly under our belts, and nobody can take that away from us.And how better to celebrate this momentous occasion than with a sincere apology for a past digression. We're very sorry for lying to you, it was not our intent to deceive.PLUS! Some in-studio…

  43. 063 - The Three Seashells

    Lara Croft: She's just a single busty archaeologist living alone in a musty old mansion with only her crusty old butler for company. So why does her walk-in freezer need to be stocked with THAT MUCH MEAT? PLUS! Find out more about your hosts as we discover Jack's thirst for voyeurism and Chris's...

  44. 062 - One of the Least Sexy Cancers

    What's the difference between a bison and a buffalo?You can't wash your hands in a buffalo.At least that's the way the joke goes, although I do feel like Leonardo Dicaprio wouldn't mind scooping one out and having a shot.There are lots of buffalo in this week's podcast. Lot and lots. When we're...

  45. 061 - Poor Little Eoghan Quigg

    This episode (spoiler alert) has Zayn Malik over it. Jack and Chris's adoration for One Direction appears to know no bounds, whilst Phil is in need of a little education on the subject. That, and any pop culture events that have taken place in the 21st century. But don't worry, he's on much safer...

  46. 060 - (BONUS) Work on Bank for 1 Money (with Owen Hughes from failedcritics.com)

    Here's our second bonus episode of the month, with Owen Hughes from failedcritics.com returning for some more Wikipedia-based fun.

    more
  47. 059 - Thinky Box Brain House

    One man's banger is another man's not banger. The gang's intellectual expertise is called into question. But don't worry, we more than make up for it with a combination of turtle facts and turtle ungrounded speculation.You can follow our Instagram or Facebook accounts to check up on our daily...

  48. 058 - (BONUS) Chubby Little Despots (with Owen Hughes from failedcritics.com)

    Friend of the show Owen Hughes from failedcritics.com has brought along some articles for us to take a look at. We perve over Superman actor Christopher Reeves, get sidetracked by crisps, bang on about the Oxford comma "like a bunch of nerds", get a bit Fritzelly and have Chris explain his plans...

  49. 057 - Box Hunt with Des O'Connor

    Say hello to Chris's legacy - Jo O'Meara the turtle. Marvel at the lack of administrative duties that appear to be undertaken over at General Hospital, and brace yourself for some rather xenophobic views about the citizens of mother Russia. It's only bloody episode 57 of Wikishuffle.And you're...

  50. 056 - AKA Buster

    Phil Collins must be very proud to be the first person to get two different Wikishuffle cover photos. It's like being on the front cover of Vogue, only way more prestigious. This week we marvel at Bono as Saviour, TLC as bangersmiths and the people of South Africa who, bless their cotton socks,...
