Tall Boy Radio

Steven Houghton-Burnett joins us to help us see the world through different eyes - maybe even simulated eyes? Are we living in a simulation? If we were, would it change your outlook on the world? These are just 2 of the many questions posed in this episode. We examine the most common models that we could well be operating within. This episode will make you think. You may dismiss the concept. You m...

Star of the silver screen Benjamin L Newmark and CEO of DBS films and director of movies such as Forest of Death and A Cold Grave Brendan Rudnicki join Tall Boy Radio to talk about their latest film A Cold Grave (check out tallboyradio.com to grab a link to rent it on Amazon).

Vic Ferrari is back and this time the Florida weather can't stop him. We get to find out what happens to the horse in the bar, we've been lied to by Cannonball Run, that stakeouts aren't as much fun as they're portrayed ti be in the movies and many other Police tales. On top of that we get some stellar advice on how to approach our respective writing projects. From ticker-tape parades to police ch...

We are joined by Jessica and Wayne (and Trevor the cat) from the YouTube channel Holiday with the Heathers to hear about their journey to becoming "influencers".

We're kicking off the New Year the right way, with one of our favourite guests of all time - Vic Ferrari. The ex-NYPD officer is now a successful author and Podcast host. Nothing is off the table, we discuss medical procedures (taking you places you never imagined), an accomplished career criminal who's served his time and who has is own podcast and half an anecdote. Half an anecdotes? Yuup, the F...

Who would win in a fight... all wrapped up into a family fun card game that even Granny would love to play on these cold winter nights! As always it's a random mix of folks as we experiment with a new rule. Who would win in a fight between Gok Wan and Richard Madeley? Don't lie, you're curious. What happened of Gok Wan had a case of beer strapped to one hand and a box with a deadly scorpion in the...

No one that entered Room 101, in George Orwells insightful novel, was ever seen again. What if you could pick the things to be 86'd? Here at Tall Boy Radio, we are a democracy so it goes to a majority vote. This year's offerings are Christmas Presents, the lack of accountability for cats, Vaping, Cheques, Delivery schedule windows and the British political system. Which ones survive and which ones...

It's our fun seasonal quiz. Gaz takes on Andy on answering 18 of the toughest, most peculiar questions that you'll find on a Podcast quiz. There are no winners here, it's participation trophies all round. What do you know about how long a Dolphin can hold It's breath? The energy efficiency of Volvo's cars? Or maybe why Hawaiian pizza is so-called. Why not grab yourself a cold one, kick back and pl...

Christmas means socialising. Socialising means drinking (well for us reprobates anyway) and you don't want to be that guy that falls foul of the drink-driving laws. So we look at the beers you can enjoy without having to call an Uber. We taste tested 6 Non-alcoholic beers to see how they stack up against their foamy alcoholly cousins. We have to say that 3 of them we were really quite impressed wi...

200 episodes! We made it! We take a peep into the future... 200 years into tye future. Will someone born in 2023 make it to 2223? Are we headed for Utopian bliss or a Dystopian nightmare? Will AI aid us or destroy us? Will the ice caps melt and engulf the glove in water? Will we see the second coming of Jesus? We don't answer any of these questions, we tell you what we think will happen - let's se...

Abandoned and Forgotten. Would you explore the dilapidated ruins that lie out there like time capsules for the last day that they are inhabited. Elle does just that. She ventures into places forgotten by time and photographs what she finds.

We were joined by Jenni and Joyce of The Scottish Alchemists to try a couple of Winding River gins... and all whilst also joined by Matt himself from the Distillery to hear what the Gin experts (Cooperative Scottish Gin judging panelists no less). As always garnishes were a talking point as TBR tried to outdo our previous efforts with the TBR Negroni. That's right we sent the Tall Boy Radio gin up...

Do you carry cash on you any more? Us neither. Cash is an important part of our society and we take a look at what society would be like if it were replaced by an entirely digital currency. We start by listening to a clip "borrowed" from Instagram to decide is it scaremongering or should we be concerned by the power a Government could wield over you by controlling a digital currency. There a few e...

We love American Football (or Football as it's called stateside) and we love to talk about it. We were honoured to be joined by Liz to talk about how interest in the game has grown in the UK. One of the 1st female hosts of an NFL Podcast - and hosts a podcast for Sky Sports, we were keen to hear her take. Liz was lucky enough to get to all 3 International games in Wembley and White Hart Lane and a...

The Witches of Pendle Hill. Were they witches? Did they commit the crimes that they were convicted of. Their famous trial in 1612 is one of the best documented legal cases of the time and it saw many of them put to death after suffering in the squalid conditions of jail. It's a story that began with a simple altercation. But it's a story that we don't feel qualified enough to tell...so we drafted...

Ruku reviews beers on line - https://youtube.com/@rukusbeer9434?si=CPQuYtLaf68VezxK and all whilst wearing a selection of balaclavas. First question - why the mask? ...and the rest of the talk is about beer, except of course the talk of Cameo and Family Guy impressions. Go grab yourself a cold one (or room temperature depending...

First responders. When it's all gone pear-shaped, these are the guys you rely on. Stuart did this Jon for 14 years. Helping people in their darkest hour... and all for zero pay.

How do businesses get started? What's the story behind them? Alex Preece is the CEO of Tillo. Never heard of them? There's a pretty good chance that they've provided you with a gift card as a reward in the past. Alex tells us how he got started in the industry and found his niche. We also find out a little about the man who sits in the big office and hear his history in the British army that gave...

American Football - what do we Brits know about it? We were joined by Mark and James of Pigskin Podcast to give you a preview of the season ahead. Full disclosure, we didn't really do that.

Taking his Wife and 2 Kids to stay with the cousin he tracked down on the internet when there was a missing link in the fami...

Flat Earth. You're all aware that there are plenty of people who don't believe that we live on a Globe. If you believe that then this episode is for you. If you do believe we live on a Globe, this episode is definitely for you. We were unaware how in-depth and structured the argument for a flat earth is. Sam answered every question that we had and it all made sense. I would urge you to listen with...
