Tall Boy Radio

In this episode we dispense a whole load of information for you to use in your every day life that helps just to make things a little bit easier. This might just be the most useful episode we've ever done! As well as all this useful info there's all the randomness you'd expect... just wait til Gaz asks Andy to share his ideas to make his job easier - it's the answer that no one expected. As always...

They say there is no such thing as a bad taste in music - we do our best to dispel this myth. The songs we talk about in this episode is music that has been the soundtrack to our lives. The songs that when we hear them take us back to a time in our lives that is pertinent. The title of this episode is a lyric taken from Rubber Ring by The Smiths... this episode is not entirely about Morrissey and...

In this special episode (recorded in early December) Beans, Gaz and Andy look back on their favourite bits of the podcast from 2020. They also take a look at all the cool stuff we want to do in 2021 that will no doubt be called off due to the ongoing Covid19 pandemic. We also talk about our latest top secret project that we will be launching in 2021 - work is already well underway on that badboy a...

First of all Merry Christmas from everyone at the Tall Boy Radio podcast. In this episode we take a look at the festive period and the meanings of Christmas. We share some of our memories from Christmases gone by and a funny story or two. There's a festive beer or two to celebrate the festive period and a brief look at Christmas 2020. We get things kicked off with a "special" reading of Clement C...

What would you do if your lucky numbers came up and you won the lottery or powerball? If you know Gaz then you know this is one of his favourite topics of conversation. He's keen to tell us what he'd do with the money and just as keen to find out what Beans and Andy would do if they got lucky. What would you do? What would be your first big purchase? Would you continue to work? What would be your...

Beans, Gaz and Andy are again joined by Kenn to discuss something that we (that's the human race not just the 4 of us) fully understand : Dreams. We look at whether Dreams mean anything at all and if they do what do they tell us about the dreamer? We analyse our own dreams regardless of how embarrassing they are. Get in touch with us and tell us about your dreams and they may just feature in the f...

It was a once in a lifetime vote and people came out in record numbers to have their say. Brexit. Should we stay or should we go. If it was a talking point before the vote, it was a full on argument afterwards. Everyone has an opinion on whether it's a good idea or not. Were we lied to by politicians in order to further their gains? Is it what we really wanted? Is the vote fair to the people of No...

It's no secret that here at TBR towers, we're a big fan of beer. We love to try every beer that is available. Even... the Duchess! Since we started this podcast, we've talked about the idea of making a Tall Boy Radio beer and in this episode, that idea moves one step closer to fruition. We're joined by Ian Palmer. He founded Bike shed brewing. It started as a hobby, then he brewed all the beer for...

We make no apologies for the length of this episode, it's really 2 epiaodes in one. Beans and Andy were really given the VIP treatment this week when David from Double Trouble Drinks was kind enough to let them be part of the first few to test out their latest product (which won't be available until early 2021) a blended Whisky. These guys love Whisky and they loved this one. The main episode is a...

We're hoping you don't suffer with Paraskevidekatriaphobia as we're dropping an episode about phobias on Friday the 13th! Beans, Gaz and Andy talk about the things that give them the willies. Noy just the things we're a little bit afraid of but the things that terrify us to our very souls. Phobias can be debilitating. Everybody has them and most of us don't know why. As well as our own phobias we...

In this week's episode we take a look into Bonfire night and the story of Guy Fawkes. We know a lot of our listeners are outside of the UK so we thought we'd do our best at explaining this celebration that is unique to the UK. As well as looking at the history behind it and a few facts about Mr Guido Fawkes, we also share our personal views on the celebration. The opening music is "London Bayou" b...

Light your jack-o-lantern, dim the lights and get ready to spook yourself as we join Beans, Gaz and Andy in our very first Halloween special. We talk about the origins of the holiday, trick or treating, horror movies and just about everything related to the creepiest night of the year. Whether zombies are your thing or good old fashioned jump scares, there's something here for you. The opening mus...

Join Beans, Gaz and Andy as we take a trip down memory lane to the most formative part of your life - our school days. There's plenty of memories, the occasional inappropriate anecdote and some musings on why we hold those days so dear to us. Yes it's been nearly 30 years since we left education so our experiences may be a tad different to yours but that's okay. We'd love to hear your stories too...

This week, Beans, Gaz, Andy and Kenn take a look at the world of the doomsday prepper. In years gone by it was easy to write them off as nutters but with the world descending into madness, these are the people you need to know. We look at their world and what we'd do when that zombie apocalypse eventually kicks off. Stuff an extra cold one in your bug out bag. Kick back and enjoy. The opening musi...

🎼Come fly with us. Let's fly, Let's fly away!🎵 - The 3 of us have visited a quite varied and diverse bunch of places in our time on the planet. We talk you through some of the highlights of our travels. The places that we recommend and also the places that underwhelmed. There's the humorous stories as well as the useful information. From Manchester to Mumbai, join us for our travel tales. Please...

In this episode, Beans, Gaz and Andy talk about gambling. Hopefully we help you to understand the thought process of the gambler. As well as talking about what constitutes a gambling problem, we talk about keeping it in check and the times when we haven't followed our own advice. Every episode we plan out what we intend to talk about before heading off on a tangent and creating an episode that's a...

We had a lot of fun recording this episode. This week we were joined by our old pal Weave, who's been involved with every Guinness World Record attempt that we've made. We talk to him about his group C4LF's ideology and their campaign to annex Cheshire from the rest of the UK - be prepared to be entertained as El Presidente lays down his propaganda. He also talks to us about his time on the Edinbu...

This week we dig into the back of the cupboard looking for that Pot Noodle flavour that we're yet to try. We chip the mould off the cheddar and pick only the best fodder to serve to you good folks with a hearty Tall Boy to wash it down with. We talk about our finest culinary chaos and our worst culinary catastrophes. Who would you invite to your dinner party? Should pineapple be put on a pizza? Al...

There was really only 1 subject that we could talk about. This is an event that shocked the world. The one atrocity that a whole generation of people can remember and watched unfold. As an act of terror it failed because it united people against the wills of evil but a horrendous amount of people lost their life that day and many more had theirs harmed irreparably. We never want to see anything li...

Behind every big event in history there's a story. Behind every story there's somebody questioning it's authenticity. Do conspiracy theories add up to a hidden truth or is it simply an event too difficult for us to accept is real so we presume it can't just be as it's presented to us. We look at some of the bigger conspiracy theories and give our opinions on them. Grab yourself a cold one, sit bac...

Our first bonus episode!!! We're joined by our good friend David from Double Trouble drinks. Here at Tall Boy Radio, we're honoured to be part of the rum taste-testing team. We've confiscated Andy's Vimto and we're trying the rum for the very first time on the podcast and giving our honest opinions. David lets slip one of their plans for the future... and it sounds epic. Chill your double trouble...

We had a whole load of interest and feedback about our Parapsychology episode and it's an area we promised to revisit... so here we are again. We're joined by Kenn who shares his experiences and interest in this field. We're also joined by Gaz's younger brother, Sid who shares his experiences too. Turns out he's had a fair bit more experience than anyone knew! This won't be the last time we talk a...

In this episode, you get the social media musings of 3 guys in their 40s and Andy... who may or may not be a Norse God (Spolier alert : he isn't). We share some positive stories before getting embroiled in the ghosts of social media past, present and future. Please check out our new website www.tallboyradio.com The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rodriguez. The closing music is "BDS...

This episode marks the most serious topic that we've covered. Yes it was marred with problems - Andy's audio sucks in points and Beans and Gaz had a couple of audio issues too. Then it got worse... Gaz's beer ended up on the floor! None of that distracts from the issues at hand as we look at everything that 2020 has thrown at us so far. Focusing on the Corona virus pandemic and the issues brought...

This is the second part of our 2 part beer episodes. Recorded on the same night as part 1, we sample some strong beers - squeezing in 6 in 2 hours. Andy introduces Gaz to his favourite beer whilst we talk about the paranormal and a man with insanely big hands... the evening inevitably descends in to chaos when the Carolina Reaper peanuts are opened which leads to us being severely shown up by Andy...
