Nobody Cares What You Think

Jamie and Richard have strong opinions about tea. Neither will back down. This is where we are. Get the popcorn. Also this week: Richard has been systematically watching Cheers from the beginning and has arrived at a deeply unsettling conclusion — your parents were right, it has all been done before, and Friends basically nicked the lot. He went to see an experimental artist and has thoughts. He a...

Richard built a barbecue. It didn't go to plan. His wife put the food in the oven. Jamie thinks pre-cooking in the oven before finishing on the barbecue is perfectly reasonable. Richard thinks that's the coward's way out. This is where we are. Also this week: Richard went to see Richard Birkin with a string quartet, recorded with his secret band that isn't remotely secret, got deep into plugins ve...

Richard Makes Jamie Watch Eurovision. Special Episode. The cultural exchange is complete. Jamie made Richard watch WrestleMania. Richard made Jamie watch Eurovision. Jamie went in sceptical, came out grudgingly impressed, and has opinions about the voting system that won't surprise anyone. Bulgaria won. Richard is insufferably right about all of it. The deal is done.

Richard has been to Scunthorpe. The city view from his hotel was a Sainsbury's and a solicitor's. He also went to see David Icke — yes, really! He is convinced Jamie missed out. Jamie does not agree. This week Jamie dies on the hill that everyone needs to calm down about AI in both directions, the people saying it's going to destroy humanity and the people saying it's useless are both wrong. Richa...

Jamie's been to Disneyland Paris, Richard's been to the Shepherd's Bush Empire, and somehow both trips end up in the same conversation, are we being sold experiences or just parted from our money in increasingly creative ways? Richard dies on the hill that anniversary tours need to stop and bands need to know when to quit. Ticket prices, theme parks, and the growing suspicion that someone is alway...

This is a special. No hills, no topics, no format. Jamie making Richard sit through WrestleMania as part of a cultural exchange nobody asked for but everyone needed. Richard went in sceptical. Richard came out changed. The deal was WrestleMania for Eurovision, so consider this fair warning, Richard's revenge is coming, and it involves sequins.

Jamie dies on the hill that the Star Wars prequels deserve more credit than they get. Richard disagrees. Then they tackle the bigger question, why does every piece of culture now need to be part of something larger, and when did standalone become a dirty word?

Richard did his Bee Gees homework and it's only made him worse. Jamie went to see Prima Facie. Then: are audiobooks actually reading? Richard says no. After that, long form vs short form gaming, the backlog problem, and what abandoning a save file says about you as a dad. Got a hill? We want it hello@nobodycarespodcast.co.uk or @ncwytpodcast on Instagram.

Jamie and Richard introduce themselves, explain why they're doing this, and immediately start arguing. In their first ever "I Will Die on This Hill" segment, Jamie makes the case that professional wrestling deserves to be taken seriously as entertainment, whilst Richard remains unconvinced. Richard then defends Five Guys milkshakes as the gold standard of fast food shakes, but argues the price mak...

Jamie went to see Radiohead and has thoughts, mostly about the fact they didn't play Creep and whether that's artistic integrity or just being awkward. Richard spent New Year sober and has strong opinions about Jools Holland's Hootenanny. There's a trip to the snooker, a heated "I Will Die on This Hill" where Richard argues the Beatles are massively overrated, and a conversation about support band...

Richard is using Arts Council funding to experiment with creative recording sessions with musicians, starting with a harp player, and gets into the details of microphone placement and what he's trying to achieve. Jamie has been watching Pluribus on Apple TV and makes it his mission to get Richard on board. In "I Will Die on This Hill," Jamie argues that the moral panic around children's screen tim...

Two mates talk gigs, music, and culture every fortnight. A failed musician turned project manager and a failed teacher turned studio producer have started a podcast. Every fortnight, Jamie and Richard will be talking gigs, music, films, and middle-aged nonsense. First three episodes drop on 19th March 2025. Subscribe now. Though let's be honest, you probably won't care what we think anyway.
