Hardcore Listing with Chris & Stu

Finally we get one of the Distraction Pieces co creators Dr Suzi Gage on the show, and she's gone and picked a ruddy bloody corker of a top 5! It's great to hear how and why Suzi went for BBC comedies, and expect lots of quotes and laughter as the gang go through some of the UK's finest shows. Suzi has her own podcast 'Say Why To Drugs', which is award winning no less. There's no hype, no spin and...

It's Chris' birthday.....he loves zombies.....and running around with firearms.....a zombie survival experience it is then. Zed Zombie Events courteously invite Chris, Pip, Stu and Carol to get chased around an abandoned shopping mall for 3hrs in Reading. It was ace. This is the car journey up, and what better top 5 than to discuss Top 5 Zombie films. Interesting fact, Stu's an idiot. You will fin...

So the boys trip to Manchester was initiated by Mike inviting them up to hang out and record a podcast. Mr Joyce was of course drummer for The Smiths, but over the course of his career worked with Buzzcocks, Public Image Limited, Suede, Sinéad O'Connor. Mike decided to go for his Top 5 albums, and the passion he talks about music and his career is infectious. What we get here is a long natural con...

What better way to launch our batch of Manchester interviews than with Andy Ellis. Well known for the fan favorite role as Gadget from This Is England, Andy also makes short films and works with Unilad to produce exciting content for their 33 million active users. His Top 5 is utterly brilliant, and brings about memories of 80's and 90's dinners. This is an episode that will have you talking to yo...

When the lads went to Ireland they created a little promo CD to hand out to unsuspecting members of the public. We thought we'd leave it here.....it's a good way to give friends and idea of what to expect. From interesting behind the scenes chats with comics and musicians, to fun Top 5's and of course, the coffee enema story. If you've heard all the episodes you may be familiar with what we select...

This week Chris and Stu decided to record a 35 min episode. A podette, covering top 5 world news stories and the impact they had on us. Some are fun (the lengths ex-millionaires will go for a packet of quavers) and others a little more serious (easy to guess). Did you like the shorter format? Let us know! Hosted on Acast.

The final stop of our tour in Dublin was the Grand Social where the boys and Pip took to the stage to risk a live Drunkast, starting at midnight during the arts and culture weekend. Our lovely listeners had put forward a bunch of top 5's for the boys to fight over, drunk. We won't lie, they started a little drunk and the first 40 mins is pretty much all about theme tunes to shows, and their poo re...

The boys landed in Dublin, first port of call, meeting the wonderful Louise McSharry. The new music presenter on RTE 2FM, author and all round fashionista gave Chris and Stu the lowdown on the culinary delights of Ireland alongside some of the other things Ireland has brought to the world. Some of these are 'givens' and one in particular may prove to be somewhat controversial! Hosted on Acast. See...

Carrying on our tradition of awesome musicians the boys were lucky enough to catch up with Hugo. Fresh from finishing the Maccabees final tour dates at Ally Pally Hugo has taken his producing chops earned from making Marks To Prove It and gone on to start helping other new bands and musicians grow. It's safe to say Hugo was part of one of Stuart and Chris' favorite bands of all time, and somehow t...

Time for Milk and Biscuits. Mitch and Dan join Chris and Stu for what turns out to be a very funny episode. Amongst Chris forcing Stu to take a long hard look at himself and his life choices, we get to have a behind the curtain chat with one of the UK's best soul acts. Mitch and Dan were an absolute pleasure, and being friends to the hosts meant the chat was very relaxed and friendly from the off....

Back in May, Chris and Stu took a risk at booking a venue and doing HCL live. By some miracle the show sold out, and by a further miracle 5 previous guests agreed to come on and get involved by telling their most embarrassing stories. This podcasts combines all the amateur (and usually offensive) antics you have come to expect from the boys, but in front of 130 people. I mean come on, Tony Rodd, R...

The boys invited Adam down to the Whiff-Inn for a Top 5 that was pretty unique and had them rubbing their hands together waiting to discuss. What they didn't expect was to get into great chats about Adam's career as a psychotherapist and the rollercoaster experiences he had playing drums in Babyshambles. You get a sample of songs Adam is currently writing and performing and the usual insults hurle...

Disaster struck a few weeks back when an Oxford students attempt to rank crisps from God Tier to Shit Tier went viral. Once Chris had nursed Stu out of the catatonic state induced merely by glancing over the students rankings, there was only one thing for it. A proper ranking of crisps. Our favorites, listener favorites and all the ones listed in the students 'attempt'. The boys needed an expert's...
