Agreeably

A spooky special exploring horror films. Whether modern cinema, specifically the genre of horror, has genuinely gotten scarier or if we've just become desensitized. Have filmmakers really mastered the art of the spook or is it all just individual tastes. While we're debating our first childhood scares versus modern psychological masterpieces, breaking down genre trivia like highest-grossin...

We're exploring modern emoji etiquette. The new pictographic forms of communication happening on all our screens and specifically the simple thumbs up. Is it just pure digital efficiency? Or is it just an intentional act of dismissal, aka marked as read? Is context key or just contextually passive-aggressive or just straight confirmation? We're chatting about all the options, the scenarios and or...

We’re exploring modern brand loyalty. Whether there is genuine value to consumers to stay "true" to a brand or whether it's actually a self inflicted scam. Is the only way to win to become mercenary or are there scenarios that actually are serviceable? While every company is trying to be your "best friend" through points, stamps, memberships, maybe even go-karting vouchers?. Do these deliver real...

We’re exploring the beautiful game, modern football and one of the largest tournaments ever. Sure it's got time-tested rules but it also currently requires a multi-million-dollar video assistant referee system just to tell us whether we are allowed to celebrate a goal. So are we witnessing a triumph of modern sporting, or are we just sanitising the raw, beautiful chaos that made us fall in love wi...

We’re chatting about the art, maybe a little on the absurdity but also the absolute amazing outcome that is the seedless grape. Somehow humanity has collectively decided that dealing with a seed is a step too far. Now it currently reigns supreme as the ultimate friction-free fruit snack, but are seedless grapes a triumph of agricultural genius, or just a lazy, socially acceptable way to eat bags (...

We’re exploring the state of social media and perhaps the absurdity of how we consume it. If a pint of beer, or a sandwich comes with strict labels, games with PEGI age ratings, why does an infinite scroll come with zero guardrails? So are we "drinking" the world of content responsibly, or are we all just becoming digital alcoholics? Is a healthy balance possible in a world of social engagement lo...

We’re chatting about the art and maybe the absurdity of grouping people by age. Do labels like ‘Boomer,’ ‘Millennial,’ or ‘Gen Z’ actually help us connect, or are they just a way to avoid the hard work of seeing each other as individuals? Can we find real insight in or within these categories, or are we just guessing our way out of genuine human connection? So whatever label we've been assigned, w...

Is the holiday at home the ultimate sign of contentment, or just proof that we’ve run out of excuses to leave the house? We’re chatting about the art of the holiday, what makes them good, bad and whether turning your living room into a get away hotspot is at all possible or just giving up on adventure? Can you find magic in the mundane, or is a ‘proper holiday’ only valid if it involves a passport...

Is an empty inbox a life masterclass in digital discipline, or is the true sign of a life well lived having 20,000+ unread emails and the sheer audacity to not care? We’re chatting about modern mental clarity being achieved by having no unread emails or perhaps the breezy freedom by simply not caring. So is 'Inbox Zero' a vital tool for life, or is the best move to simply to let the stuff pile up...

We’re stepping into the 'Chamber of Sound' (A.K.A. this episode) to explore good sounds, bad sounds and ultimately attempt to agree on a champion for the ultimate auditory satisfaction. So whether you're an audiophile or not, is the most satisfying sound the hoover when it collects a bit of hard dust? Can we agree on this? Are we agreed that this is you new favourite show? Even if not we'd love it...

Is the new year change real or is it just a social construct? We explore how change occurs, what is gaslighting, what is woo , yes what is woo , and whether it's all that bad? So whether you have a new year plan or just along for the ride, is 'New Year, New Me' just socially acceptable self-gaslighting? Can we agree on this? Are we agreed that this is you new favourite show? Even if not we'd love...
