The Podcast With No Name

In our seventh episode, Fiona leads us on an exploration through one of the most iconic Goodies episodes of all time with multiple images from the show having been used in the opening credits for the entire run of the BBC version of the show. Theres lots of looney animals, including a very feisty bush-baby, an escaped tortoise, and a very, very large kitten!! Please join Fiona, Jim, Lea-Ann, Paul,...

In this episode we examine one of the most recognised, and most loved of all the Goodies episodes. Bunfight at the OK Tea Rooms. We pull back the many layers of this all time classic and even expose a hidden gem. Join Jim, Lea-Ann, Paul, Fiona and Todd as they bring you one of the best.

This episode has proven to be one of the more polarising offerings from The Goodies. Some people love it, and other people… not so much. We pull apart the episode and discover the hidden themes buried deep within the writing. Central to the episode is the masterful performance of the late, great Jon Pertwee having just completed his final season of Doctor Who. Grab your Brillo Pad and join us as w...

One of the most recognisable episodes of the entire Goodies catalogue is Kung Fu Kapers, or some will know it by it’s alternative name Ecky Thump. Jim, Fiona, Todd and our special guest Lea-Ann take us on a journey back to the 1970's and to Kung Fu Kapers with only the sustenance of black pudding and a warm chip butty. Grab your flute and enjoy the journey with us...

In our first regular episode Fiona, Jim, Todd and Paul examine the seventh and final episode of The Goodies premiere season: Radio Goodies. From the hidden NAZI references to the REAL reason Corn Flakes were invented, and the classic theme music A Walk in The Black Forest, we invite you to join us on this exploration of one the most recognised Goodies episodes of all time. We guarantee that by the...

This is the conclusion of our tribute to the late, great Tim Brooke-Taylor and the comedy of the much loved British trio The Goodies. We again speak to Michael Owen Carroll from his home in Dublin, and joining us for the first time from sunny London is acclaimed actor, comedian, writer, producer and without doubt the hardest working performer in the industry today, Barnaby Eaton-Jones. From three...

This is our very first episode, our tribute to the late, great Tim Brooke-Taylor and the comedy of British comedy trio The Goodies. We speak to internationally renowned author and long time Goodies super-fan Michael Owen Carroll from his home in Dublin, Ireland about our shock at the loss of Tim Brooke-Taylor and our memories of him and The Goodies.

In honour of Graeme Garden, Bill Oddie and the late Tim Brooke-Taylor, may he rest In peace, Fiona, Todd, Paul & Jim choose their top two favourite Goodies episodes of all time and dissect them in each episode. There are discussions about every aspect of the episodes, as we re-live the phenomenon that was The Goodies.

Join us for our final dance... this is the Men Talking Over Beer Finale!!

In the first bonus episode of the season, Sid and Eddie speak to a close friend, known only as Bargie. They return to the interview format and record an enlightening, touching and sometimes harrowing account of the struggles one can face when living with PTSD. Sid and Eddie learned a lot from this experience, and hopefully you’ll get something out of it as well.

Clay, Moses and Graeme navigate their way through the dark and murky world of marriage, life and the celebration of sport. An interesting episode which skims over many topics. *** Disclaimer: The views expressed in this podcast are not necessarily shared by all members of the Men Talking Over Beer podcast ***

With Sid and Eddie on assignment, Clay, Moses and Graeme steer the ship into murky waters. We learn a little more about their political preferences and their clear understanding of the Australian taxation system. It's a big Happy Valentine's Day from the Men Talking Over Beer!!

In this third episode of the ‘Holy Trinity of Sid, Graeme & Eddie’ we place blame for our extended hiatus squarely on Sid’s shoulders. His selfish behaviour in being diagnosed with a serious, almost fatal medical condition has only served to rob you, the listener, of more time with us. We discuss the nature of Sid’s busted arse and hope you can forgive him for his actions.

Still podcasting with a slight 3-2 majority, Graeme, Sid & Eddie discuss some of their favourite sports. Former rugby league referee gets a run, and somehow they manage to sound like they (Almost) know what they’re talking about. Join the boys as the illusion quickly dissolves, and the episode spirals back down to the level of a regular Men Talking Over Beer show.

The boys battle on with 2/5 of them away on either medical leave or 'Wifey-Detention' They decide to tackle the subject of the USA Capitol Riots, insurrection and the assault on democracy which occurred just a week prior to Joe Biden's presidential inauguration. Is it possible that these thugs were not Trump supporters...? You can make up your own mind

With the election over, president-elect Joe Biden waits in the wings as Donald Trump carries on like a big, sooky man-baby, and attempts to shit on the very fabric of democracy by staging a coup with the full support of the Republican Party. The boys instead discuss the demise of the Wallabies, Lebanon and they introduce the “Clayton’s Rant” segment.

In episode 4 the boys are all together again to tackle the often heated topic of the upcoming US election. They ponder which is the better of two evils and make their predictions as to who will emerge victorious in what some believe is the most important election in history.

In part two Grahame appears to be a little more involved, but the discussion very much continues between Sid and Clay (The Artist Formerly Known as Carson) The question is, will they be able to continue with intelligent and rational discussion until the end of the episode…

With brief moments of consciousness from Grahame, we join fan favourites Sidney and Clay (The Artist Formerly Known as Carson) for something that has never been seen before in this universe. They engage in rational an intelligent discussion together.

After a long hiatus, and a hernia or two, the boys are back for another season. They intend to thrill you, shock you and above all entertain you. Settle in and join us for the second season of Men Talking Over Beer. You might just learn something… or not.

With season one done and dusted Sidney and Eddie ponder the much anticipated season two, and what lies ahead for The Men Talking Over Beer podcast. They fill us in on what the boys have been up to during the hiatus, and what you can expect from the coming season.

We reflect on the loss of our loved ones, and in particular the process of those losses. Although loss is a part of life, there is an even more horrific circumstance that some of us will have to deal with… what do we do if a friend or loved one reveals to us that they are a Trump supporter? It’s almost too horrible to think about!!

With some caution we ask the question: What are the glittering gems of life experience that your parents passed onto you? And going full circle, what is it that we have passed onto our own children? We look at the circle of life and wonder if when we are no longer on this earth, will the lessons we left mean as much to our children as the ones that were left for us?

When was our first lust? …and how does that memory shape our current mind-set. Do the conquests of our past help or hinder our relationships today. Drunken memories flood back and Sidney tells us about his special time in the closet. And we remember how murder was on the menu in Bundanoon, and how it quickly deteriorated into a bad carry on film.

We discuss the wonder of marriage, and wether or not any of us would have the balls to say I don’t at the alter. Moses discovers that his secret hiding place has only been a few short meters away and that in reality, the back seat of his car is not the sticky, awkward place it was in his teenage years, but a place of salvation, shelter and somewhere quiet to hide from his Maryanne. It also has rea...
