Hey! I Like...

An itemised list of reasons to fist-fight William Morris in a Dennys parking lot, by Jess. Also discussions of translation, themes and plots and cool characters, the inspiration behind Lord of the Rings, and how awesome history is. Not necessarily in that order. ----------------------------------------------------- To our regular listeners: If you are enjoying the podcast and would love even more...

In this special bonus episode, we are joined by Fleur who wants to tell us all about her favourite food... And now you've got this far... APRIL FOOLS (Please make sure to watch the video version of this on our youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/@Hey-I-Like )

"It'll be a short one," Tom said. "The Silmarillion episode will be longer," Tom said. I live in fear of the Silmarillion episode. This , however, is the Lord of the Rings episode and therefore everything is fine. If you have 2 hours to spare, dive right on in - we had a lot to say.

We're back! Aro is kicking off our new return with a wonderful episode about animation history. If you ever wondered what came before Disney, or why Shrek is Like That, look no further. We've got you.

It's that time again! Enjoy this lot of stupidity and general shenanigans from the Hey! I Like crew. Spoiler Alert! As mentioned at the end of this episode, we will be taking a short break after this episode is released. We will be back on March 10th with some fabulous new content.

Is it really history when you finish up in the 2000s? sources (me, ancient) say not! Lucy joins us with a timeline of all things fashion, from 1900 all the way through to the (almost) present day. If you've ever wondered why the mini skirt was invented, or what on earth a hobble skirt is, you're in the right place.

This episode is brough to you by JJ, in honour of our beloved friend Ro.

Happy Birthday to our lovely little podcast - a whole 1 year old today! In honour of this momentous occasion, Jess and Lucy talk us through the origins of the podcast and some exclusive behind-the-scenes content for all you loyal listeners who have stuck with us so far.

It's the most wonderful time of the year (by which we mean it is time for more horse nonsense.

(Note: any mentions of 'today' or 'tomorrow' are a day behind as of uploading - we recorded this on December 16th)

Today's special guest not only plays TTRPGs but GMs and creates them too! Please give a warm welcome to Ro, our expert on all things roleplaying games.

Ever wondered about Jewish vampires? Dragons lighting shabbat candles? What even happened to Jonah, anyway? Look no further. JJ and Aro are here to discuss (debate) all things Judaism.

It's Folio Day! Happy 400th birthday to the complete works of the Bard. In honour of this momentous occasion, have some of our favourite Shakespearean monologues and soliloquys for your listening pleasure

Shelby, Mel, and Bri join Jess and Lucy in this bonkers episode, behind the scenes of our favourite fandom event (we may be a little biased). Scandalous beginnings, a round up of all the good memes from the past four years, and a sneak peak at next year's event as we organise it on air: if you've ever participated in (or are considering participating) a fandom event, this is not an episode...

For our second spooky month special, JJ returns to talk all things horror. From the best of the best to the worst of the worst, no horror media is safe. Content Warning for discussions of violence, creepy mannequins, cannibalism, and worms.

Kicking of spooky month, we have Kent here to talk about vampires, werewolves, and LARPing in the 90s. How terrifying! Warning: the following podcast may contain mentions of blood drinking, vore, death, sex, necrophilia, the Clinton Administration, school shootings, economics, and random pookas.

It's the end of another season and that means another 10 minutes of bloopers!

On the third week of pride month, this podcast gave to me... a whole load of asexual history. Jess is back in the hot seat to talk about a topic very close to their heart - she wrote a whole sixteen thousand words about it after all - asexuality and ace history. If any listeners are German, we apologise profusely for the bad pronunciation.

Kicking off our special pride episodes, are Jess, Lucy, and Tom to talk about all things LGBT+.
