Audience Capture, Vaccine Absolutism and Rediscovering Ancient Technology 22.11.2022

PLEASE NOTE: THE FIRST EDITION OF THIS PODCAST DID NOT UPLOAD CORRECTLY. PLEASE DELETE AND DOWNLOAD AGAIN IF NECESSARY. This episode Andrew begins with asking the question: Do we want people to share this podcast? He gives a few reasons why he’s been asking himself this for a couple of weeks now and we chat...

White Pills 14.11.2022

This episode, we focus on the positive things that are happening in the world. From sound politicians (in other countries) to crypto currencies to vaccine hesitancy (and a few more, besides). It’s easy to focus on the negatives, but this week we hope to lighten your mood by discussing a multitude of stories that, while... The post White Pills appeared first on sounding board .

F***wit or Fiend 29.10.2022

This episode Andrew starts with a quick correction, another amusing rock, then on to the main event after a few minutes: A brand new game… Can Nic tell the difference between evil and idiocy?

A History Of Violence 27.09.2022

Have you wondered how government became the way it is? In this episode, I take a look at the history of the state. How states came into being and how they morphed into the totalitarian juggernauts they are today. We also answer a question about voluntaryism from one of our listeners and talk a little...

What Will You Tolerate? 13.09.2022

You probably think the government does some good things. It’s why you vote. You might think that at least some regulation is needed to prevent sub standard goods entering the market place. Possibly you think that the state is the only mechanism for courts, the police and… roads. Perhaps you think the safety net of... The post What Will You Tolerate? appeared first on sounding board .

Can you be a centrist on everything? 19.08.2022

Is it possible to have a moderate/centrist view on a conspiracy theory? How about something as simple as food? Are vegans and carnivore the extremists and omnivores to sensible centrists? We discuss spectra other than the classic political left/right axis and whether there are any other nuanced, moderate positions that we might hold. Photo by...

Balance signalling 07.08.2022

Why are some people sound on some topics yet catastrophic on others Is it a deliberate tactic to not get branded a conspiracy theorist? Is it a form of signalling? In this podcast we try to get to the bottom of this strange but common phenomenon before talking about vaccines, political journeys and the difference...

Why now? 05.08.2022

The world economy is collapsing. But why would the vice wielders, those that pull the strings of governments, the media & big corporations, want to destroy what they’ve spent decades, even hundreds of years creating? And why now? The last two and half years have seen a rapid acceleration in the sheer force of what... The post Why now? appeared first on sounding board .

Bodily Autonomy, Bugs, Birth Rates, Bicyclism and Blax Cuts 14.07.2022

Today’s episode is brought to you by the letter “B”. Not intentionally, but a few topics started with it and we managed to crowbar a few more in. We start off with the repeal of Roe v Wade and ask why pro choice libertarians don’t seem to think moving decisions closer to the people they...

Dark 04.07.2022

We questioned whether or not to even release this edition of Sounding Board. Recorded on 10 May 2022, it’s one of our longest recordings – but its dark. It’s Andrew’s turn to be feeling a bit low on humanity. From the destruction of food processing plants to Bill Gates’ new book, the Pfizer document drops...

Thinking Things Through 14.06.2022

Sometimes people just don’t think things through.  They don’t think about the ramifications or simple interpretations of what they are spreading around. Andrew has some observations of examples of precisely these viral memes and trends that were truly wide of the mark, but not maybe in the way you originally thought. Does it change your...

Tractor Porn and Ginger Growlers 04.05.2022

It’s been a while since we released a podcast, so Nic starts off explaining why. With so much to talk about, this ended up being a long session. So, make yourself a drink and grab a comfy chair before you begin. We’ve added timings below if you want to skip to certain sections. 0:48 Why...

Would everybody just shut up about Yemen 29.03.2022

Isn’t it funny how suddenly everyone is concerned with a foreign power bombing and invading a neighbour thousands of miles away, yet that is exactly what has been happening for nearly 8 years, but in a different part of the world. The media and the politicians tell you you must focus on Ukraine now, and... The post Would everybody just shut up about Yemen appeared first on sounding board .

Trucker Spring and the Narrative Unravelling 21.02.2022

With Castreau invoking the never before used Emergencies Act, our eyes are on Canada once more and the Trucker Spring. We compare this movement to the BLM protests (with associated riots and occupations – CHAZ anyone?) and the freedom marches. Just how violent is it? But all the while the covid narrative keeps crumbling, across... The post Trucker Spring and the Narrative Unravelling appeared firs...

Allegedly… 18.02.2022

The Trucker Spring in Canada has put more focus on Justin Trudeau, as he pushes more and more draconian measures to try and stop it. As a result, the photos and stories about his origins are flooding social media again. Is it true? Well, as Andrew discusses whether or not he believes this particular conspiracy,...

What Does The Future Hold? 10.02.2022

After a brief chat about the return to some old social media platforms, following on from our last podcast, Andrew makes a few predictions about what may happen in the future. Speculations around how people may behave, what they may say and how the narrative may change. Time will tell whether these are more accurate...

The Future Of Social Media 08.02.2022

In this episode we talk about Social Media. Nic starts by letting Andrew know that one of his recent tweets about Ivermectin has been marked by Twitter as ‘misinformation’, in spite of all the evidence to support his claim. We wonder whether Spotify will start adding a warning to these podcasts, after their recent new... The post The Future Of Social Media appeared first on sounding board .

Avoiding Healthcare Like The Plague 19.01.2022

In this edition we discuss staying out of healthcare’s way by looking after our own fitness. Whether its workouts or eating well, it can all play a part in avoiding the doctors. Nic has been trying Chaga mushroom tea, and talks of the surprising benefits to his workout recovery. We talk more about how things...

Could coronavirus be a bat vaccine? 17.01.2022

Project Veritas has obtained more documents from DARPA, the secretive Department of Defence weapons research agency, on the origins of the coronavirus we now call SARS-CoV-2. Engineering a virus and aerosolising it for release into the wild bat populations of China to stop them getting potentially dangerous SARS like viruses and passing them onto humans...

Is The Tide Finally Turning? 12.01.2022

In our first episode of 2022, Andrew starts by asking the question “Who will save us?” Will it be schoolkids? Are Gen Z finally realising that the state can do too much? What about ethnic minorities? Statistics show that they’re far more sceptical about government, particularly when it comes to vaccines. And how about socialists?...

Why doesn’t SAGE model positive scenarios? 20.12.2021

It’s a week before Christmas, and the veil has been lifted once more on the decision making at the highest levels of government in the UK. In a rare moment on twitter, the head of modelling for the government’s SAGE committee admitted that it would be essentially pointless to model positive outcomes of covid this...

More Elliott’s Law, Normalising Heart Issues and Converging Opportunism 13.12.2021

Remember Elliott’s Law from a previous edition? Andrew thinks he has an example outside of politics, in archeology. Although of course, it turns out everything is political. Are there actually 2 laws, here? And can we broaden the scope of observations to cover more territory of human behaviour? The corporate media are filling us with...

Bonus Episode – The Tyranny Of The Majority 13.12.2021

This is an audio recording of a blog post I wrote in February of last year, but is still relevant.

Cautious, yet, er, reversible? 04.12.2021

In this edition, Andrew starts out by reading a list of the worst people in Britain. This isn’t another “what’s worse?” game, or a “yes / no” game like Dick & James Delingpole often play. No, these people are so catastrophically awful that there can be no dispute. After that, Nic reads out another list.... The post Cautious, yet, er, reversible? appeared first on sounding board .
