The Mildly Controversial Podcast

In part two of our chat with Olympic Silver Medallist Iwan Thomas, we find out why Iwan had his Olympic Rings tattoo covered up, how he cheated on Countdown and why he was first voted out on Strictly. Also, find out what Mike, Baz and Iwan agree to have tattooed on them by Mike's daughter (and why!)

World champion, Olympic Silver Medallist and (frankly) "Strictly" failure IWAN THOMAS, joins Mike & Baz to talk about what REALLY happened at the Olympics, being awarded his World Championship Gold medal in a pub car park and only just beating Mike in a road race.

Are Boomers out of touch? Are Gen Z too soft? Who knows more about the other generation? We'll find out with this week's special "token Gen Z" guest, Mike's 13 year old son Shay.

Sarah Mills is an award-winning writer and comedian who after surviving bowel cancer in 2018. In this episode, we get Sarah's Mildly Controversial opinions and talk in an unashamedly frank way about how having a stoma fitted and having to "poo into a bag" has changed her life (hence the also unashamedly punny name of this week's episode). Baz recently met Sarah at the launch of MacMillan Cancer su...

This week we are chatting about how batshit crazy the USA is. And stuff they do better than we do, just to give a bit of balance! Dayna Pereira is back (its the second half of when she joined us a couple of weeks ago, if we're honest!) and this is the closest we have ever got to breaking our own rule of no politics BUT THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT, which will become clear. If you're a regular listene...

They say "Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer". Mike and Baz have a few drinls and come up with plenty of both. In this episode you'll find out which sport Mike has invented where the competitors have to be drunk, why Baz is a horrible, selfish individual and what is the worst 5 word bio on a dating app. If you'd like to help with the cost of producing this podcast (or the bar bill!) head t...

Dayna Perreira is BACK. And this time Mike is trying to get her sounding like she's from different parts of the UK and Baz has to guess which ones!

If you enjoy this and would like to buy the boys a drink to say "thank you for creating such ground-breaking entertai...

Mike & Baz discuss some mad news stories that have turned up on Mike's newsfeed. Animal attacks, shocking family revelations and an eye watering injury feature this week.

This week, Mike & Baz see a new side of each other and learn exactly what they'd each do for money. Two of the biggest surprises have to be how much it'd take for Mike to eat human flesh and what Baz would rather do than shave his beard for a year!

Do you p1ss in the shower? Do you wash your legs or not? Do you wash your jeans as infrequently as Baz? Doubtful. So many everyday things we do that we thought everyone did the same BUT THEY DON'T!

Mike’s been day drinking as he’s looking for revenge! Eight months ago, in the Battle of The Bullsh1tters episode, Baz became officially the best bullsh1tter on the show and Mike has never come to terms with it so he’s demanded a rematch! Play along and see how your score compares to Mike and Baz’s scores.

This week, Baz is judge and jury and even has an actual gavel! Mike talks though his mildly controversial opinions with Baz - and Baz alone - given the authority to approve or reject them. Gender pay gap, assuming pronouns and which TV game show should be banned.

What must you NEVER do to a pint of Guinness? What sauce is a national obsession? What should you NEVER call St Patrick's Day, and why? When Mike moved to Ireland four years ago, he faced plenty of cultural differences. In this episode he tells Baz the quirks of living in Ireland.

Mike and Baz talk about the latest news stories including Huw Edwards' arse, Elon vs Zuck and the middle class cringefest that is Wimbledon
