Hardcore Listing with Chris & Stu

What is it about Irish folk that makes them such a good bunch to talk to. Well Rob is no different, and how we came to have him on the show is all discussed on this weeks episode, over a few wee drams. They weren't so wee, and we all got pretty destroyed in the process. We learned come mind boggling facts about whiskey production over the last few hundred years in Ireland, alongside some great ban...

The boys invited DJ and good friend Leon over to discuss their top 5 magazines. Somehow they avoid discussing 'forest porn' for an hour (but they do get round to the subject pretty quickly). Expect a nostalgic music, pop and nerd overload! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The boys met Leon at their clubnight We. Are. Lizards, after a few beers and a boogie they realised Leon would be a great guest. Not only do you get a frankly awesome Top 5 about one of the best comedy series ever created, but you get to hear about his story during the London Bridge terror attacks and his upcoming marathon running for previous guest Gary Hayes' PTSD999 charity. Ex-cons last week a...

Remember the PTSD999 episode ya'll loved? Well here comes another guest with one hell of a story to tell. Gary discovered a passion for art whilst doing a stint in jail. How he found himself there is a story you don't want to miss. His top 5 is based around 'situation normal, all fucked up' (SNAFU). The moments in life that you don't see coming yet have a complete effect on the rest of your life....

Ahhh what's not to love about a revenge movie, the cathartic feeling when the once victim finally gets their own back, usually via the medium of two hundred bullets or hammer. Pierre knocked it out the park with this top 5, thank you kind sir! Pierre is known for his work as a comedian and actor, most recently for his work on the BBC's The Mash Report. He was also a guest on BBC Radio 4’s The Rest...

Todays guest is way smarter than Stu and nearly as smart as Chris (guess who did this write up?). Matthew joined the boys to impart some actual science and sense over the guesswork we typically see. Though Chris still tries his best to confuse matters with 'animals facts' he found from a 5 minute Google search and Stu's mind gets blown when he hears facts about the colour magenta. Mr Shribman is a...

FINALLY the crew are back together as producer SVNTY6 and camera legend Brad Acton join our two hero's for a podcast spectacular.

Ever stubbed your toe? Ever broken it almost completely off? - Stu has How many times has Chris damaged his genitals? More than a Top 5 can count supposedly. The boys confront the Top 5 no-body asked for. Sit back (use a pillow if you have a bad back) and watch the fireworks in todays Top 5 brought to you by the sexiest podcasting duo in Grays.

O. M. G. We made it folks ONE HUNDRED FREAKING EPISODES and Chris still hasn't been incarcerated. What a rollercoaster this has been, visiting our musical heroes like Mike Joyce, Huey Morgan, Mark Moore, Hugo White to name a few. And all the Live shows with amazing guests like Gail Porter, Rich Wilson, Ria Lina and Jordan Gray. To Wild Swimming, getting chased by Zombies and Escaping Locked rooms....

Last weeks guests travelled from Wales, this weeks came all the way from Dublin. Yes Anto from Alpha Project came down to talk to the lads about a Top 5 they could have talked for another 3 hours about. The Alpha Project Podcast has been running over in Dublin for an impressively long time and Anto and his co-host Jayme dress up serious topics in a clown costume before tackling them head-on. Well...

The Dope Ramblings lads Chris and Reece travelled all the way from Wales to have a sit down with Chris and Stu, drink some of the best beers Wales has to offer and talk film. Their top 5 films to be precise. Dope Ramblings is a podcast where each season the guys pick an actor and focus on their career. The good, the bad and the ugly.

Ben from the simply awesome ACPG podcast joined Whiffen and Glasson at the Hoxton Square Bar and Grill to reflect on those moments in a festival that you remember forever but never knew were coming. Sure you decided to go to Glastonbury to see Stevie Wonder, but you didn't realise a random secret performance by a far smaller band was going to make your day! That happened to you too? Well then you'...

Happy NYE folks, this episode is the final episode we recorded with our awesome sponsor Luke from Bang Boom Creative!

What a wonderful evening we had with our sponsor Luke from Bang Boom. He showed up wearing a Bungle outfit just for Stu and bought a whole host of goodies with him too! Not that we needed any more chocolate given today's task. So with the help of SVNTY6 too, the boys got stuck into the task of rating the Top 5 mini chocs from Heroe's, Quality Street and Celebrations. (Stu forgot the Roses, melt!)...

This weeks guest is none other than Nick Halkes. A chap who’s career has grown alongside the the UK dance music scene. Nick was one of the founders of independent record label XL Recordings where he signed and worked with acts such as House of Pain, SL2 and Liquid before taking up a position as a director at EMI and launching the Positiva label. The Positiva label enjoyed significant success under...

About twelve months ago the boys were lucky to be invited onto the Dream Factory podcast. Where the basic premise is to pitch movie ideas to each other off the back of hearing the title. Lots of fun was had an it was only a matter of time until Joel and Josh from the Dream Factory came on to HCL. Last week we managed to record three episodes, and get really quite drunk with Joel and Josh. This epi...

If you live in Essex and haven't had one of Wilma's cupcakes yet, you're messing your life up. Gemma is Chris' niece, and he's bloody proud of what her and boyfriend Will have managed to do in such a short period of time with their bakery. He thought it high time to get them on to have a chat, regardless of the fact Gemma has the key to all the skeletons in her uncle's closet! If you are thinking...

How has nobody picked Top 5 podcasts yet? Well that ends TODAY! Josh Astrop knows a thing or two about podcasts being both a serial podcast listener (just like Chris) and creator himself! Josh got in touch with the boys to do a podcast crossover and the guys were keen to have a chat to Josh, here about his own show and of course get stuck into this epic top 5 choice. You'll here about why Josh isn...

When you think of PTSD you often think it applies to the men and women of the armed forces. Today's guest Gary will show you something quite different. It's a really special episode this week, not just because Chris and Stu barely say anything, but because the guys get to chat to man who has been on the front line of support and tragedy that many of us rarely see, and that which goes unnoticed and...
