The Wikicast

Simon and Dan discover a new Favourite wikipedia article! Simon airs some complicated feelings about Emma Stone's boobs! Also in this episode we recommend some bizarre modern music, a whole slew of podcasts, and discover that many of our listeners mysteriously have head injuries... it's the Wikicast! -------- - Our Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/thewikicast - Simon's favourite website:  http://...

Oh boy. You lovely volk donated money to charity in the Jingle Jam on the promise that Dan and I would get hammered and record an episode. So, er, here we go... it's the end of both our careers. Simon mistakes a famous composer for a Nazi scientist. Dan's northern and Aussie sides get combined. A fan doesn't have brain cancer! It's all a goddamn mess so just sit back and enjoy... -------- - Our Pa...

It's our Christmas special! I can only apologise for the amount of time that we spend talking about Christmas movies and singing. It's almost like that's what our personalities are based on.

  The show just turned a year old, so we thought we'd compile some of our best moments into a special episode while Dan is on tour in Prague! You can expect some pure Simon and Dan goodness, some star turns by our guests, the best of correspondence, and some famous/infamous fan fics. This is a long-form 'best of' in that I've clipped whole segments from past shows. If you dear reader would like to...
