Simon lives! STOMP STOMP This week Simon and Dan learn about the Dave Matthews Band, which apparently they already knew about? But... didn't? They also talk about Simon's experience with coronavirus, pixel girl's depressing recent viewing suggestions, and some top-notch correspondence including an old fiend... -------- Dave Matthews band:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Matthews_Band Simon's c...

It happened again. Lockdown is clearly deteriorating our brains. We accidentally made some serious content. We're sorry, we're sorry, we're so, so sorry... Also featuring a bug attack! -------- RLM Jack and Jill video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc85QCF5414   Fortunato painting we were looking at: Baumgartner Restoration:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZe6ZCbF9xgbbbdkiodPKQ   Simon's Tw...

Simon and Dan make.... quality content? Purely by accident the boys manage to make something that actually educates people! Also discussion of puppets, limp penises, twitch streaming, and an update to the script! Apologies for the lateness of this episode, it was entirely Dan's fault. -------- Reduplication:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduplication Noh theatre:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N...

This week we are joined by the luminous, learned Hannah Witton! Warning, this episode may contain: Simon's most embarrassing doctor story, butt prodding discussion, applause for the NHS, English choral music, and some quarantine quandaries asked by our audience. It can only be the Wikicast! -------- Hannah's channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/hannahgirasol   Hannah is @hannahwitton on Instagra...

Bring out your dead, bring out your dead.... It's the (first?) coronavirus episode, finding Dan in quarantine and Simon in his element. Clearly the self-isolation has got to the boys though as the take an extended trip into Wonkaland... it's the Wikicast! -------- Simon's twitch channel:  https://twitch.tv/drsimonclark/ Game Grumps:  https://www.youtube.com/user/GameGrumps Simosuchus Clarki!!!!: h...

Conspiracies two weeks in a row!? Also, a bizarre coincidence! Insane conspiracy theories! Heinrich Himmler! And much, much more. It's a doozy this week. It's the Wikicast! -------- Heinrich Himmler vs Pyrion Flax:  https://i.redd.it/1gygzwn6itaz.png   Simon's video about Greta Thunberg:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk49_B1I8Xk   Insane Twitter post:  https://twitter.com/simonoxfphys/status/12...

The boys discover a Chinese bot conspiracy on wikipedia? Or possibly read too much into some edit history. Also we both lose it at different times in the episode this time, and we experience possibly the most fundamental change in the history of the show... It's the Wikicast! -------- Miss Chinese UK website:  https://misschineseuk.blogspot.com/ Wii trap remix:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTK...

It's a very special episode. We are joined by Simon's girlfriend Pixel Girl! We talk about your school stories, review the Mandalorian, wonder how Pixel Girl puts up with Simon, and some truths about their relationship come to light... Oh and an armoured fish. Or something. For like ten seconds. -------- Our Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/thewikicast Dan's choral piece of the week playlist (App...

Simon has a very special episode for Dan: our first ever bit of in the field reporting! Also in this week's irreverent podcast: Dan rapping! Simon impersonates Picosby! The dynamic duo talk about films for waaaay too long, and Dan talks about the premiere of *his* choral piece of the week! Eyyy-eyyyy! Please do let us know your thoughts on the show and about anything in particular really at spongy...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the airwaves, Simon and Dan come crashing back with a whole new hour of pseudo-content. How many Gs do you pull on a Milton Keynes roundabout? How hammered should you be to watch Cats (2019)? Was there a college of vampires in Kentucky? We ask all these questions and more in the brand new run of the Wikicast! Please do let us know your thoughts on th...

Episode 66.2 really, after Simon accidentally deleted his recording of 66.1... After an (explained) absence, the boys get possibly their shortest article yet and so fill you in on what's been going on in their lives: working with 900K+ YouTubers, Katy Perry orgasming, and learning about the benthiccc zone! Leave us a review on iTunes if you have a moment: we'll read the best ones out next episode!...

  The boys are back after their summer break, and they are BURSTING with things to talk about. Horse racing! Singing! World of Warcraft! The Wurzels! Strap yourself in for an hour of tangents, diversions, and occasionally a bit of learning. It's good to be back :) Let us know if you'd like to see us play some World of Warcraft! -------- Our Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/thewikicast Dan's chora...

Dan and Simon gaze deeply into St Patrick's hole. If you have a site of historical importance near you, please do email in! We want to hear all about your local history, and bonus points if you send us a photo of you listening to the podcast (or in Wikicast gear) at said site! Also please do guess what Dan's riddle is all about. Because Simon is a bit confuzzled. Also it's our two year anniversary...

  Blowie. Exeter. Confession. Hoooo boy. Dan and Simon chat about old films and get caught in a wiki closed loop, the podcast loses some weight, we have yet more talents showcased from the readership, including some fantastic fan fiction! Also, we close out with some beautiful music from the University of Exeter Chapel Choir. Let us know what you think about the new structure! Also please do send...

Oh boy, Annie Edison wrote a wikipedia article. This episode is a lil shorter than normal as both of us were very tired bois when recording - Simon in particular had a very early start...

A shambolic season from an ice hockey team with an unfortunately named stadium... The boys are back, talking about their sporting prowess, recent TV favourites, and trial out a new corner. Send you confessions in - you get an absolution! You get an absolution! EVERYONE GETS AN ABSOLUTION!

He's back! And so's Simon! The Wikicast returns after Dan finished his exams. And oh boy is his hangover hitting him hard. This episode we talk about the MCU, Game of Thrones, Chernobyl, the communist berry pickers of California, and generally get caught up! This is one of Simon's favourite ever episodes, give it a listen! -------- - Our Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/thewikicast - Red-baiting:...

The fact that we randomised on a Brexit related article is just cruel at this point. Simon and Dan talk Captain Marvel, Hansard, choral music, the Yogscast, and, sigh, Brexit. Also, Dan reports back on the community's music survey! PATRONS PLEASE NOTE: we no longer have a top lad tier! We have split the tier into Top Dogs and Top Cats: please choose your allegiance accordingly! WIKICAST FANIMATION...
