the evening almanac

I rant about things, mostly Harry Styles. Essentially.

It's 2026, so I'm trying video again. You don't have to watch my face talk nonsense; it doesn't really add anything to the experience, but it means that once in a while, I can upload a clip to social media. I dunno man, I'm just trying to work out how to get some traction whilst also not wanting to make the effort or put myself out there at all. I also rant about people who hav...

I’m feeling insecure so I decide to pick on a celebrity I don’t even know rather than sorting out my own sh*t. Essentially.

Important! I think I had either noise reduction turned on at the mic, or I accidentally put it on when I mastered it (I’ve done it before) so every now and again it sounds like a word is cut off. So this episode is more annoying than usual. So what’s this one about? Well, I, a man, talk about being a man. I have experience, but it doesn't mean I know what I'm talking about. Basically. Here's the a...

A braindump of thoughts, mainly about being successful and talented, lucky and rich. I mean, who cares? Basically.

Action cures anxiety, but so does napping. Mostly.

A weekend round up and some existential well-clever pondering about middle-aged destiny. Or something. Basically.

I have. gig tonight. Historically, first gigs back in January are always rubbish. Let's see. I also get annoyed about people complaining. By complaining. Mostly.

It's 5th January, and I'm already struggling with the creative pressure. Essentially.

A bit about being back at the gym, a bit about sea swims, and a bit about teenage drinking. In that order. Basically.

Happy new year or whatever, It's cold, it's wintery and you have to go back to work. Why are we celebrating again? We talk goals, and Ai, because this is a proper podcast, not an absolute sham of an ego project, you got that? Basically.

I talk about Jake Paul and Andrew Tate's latest defeats and why you're bad for laughing about it but I'm superior and more evolved for not. Even when I do. Basically.

See donation link below. In this quick episode there’s a bit about the gig I did last night and also how I'm now tough and all that. Essentially.

We chat gigs, we chat Christmas work lunches, we talk TV, and we talk s*x. Yes, that's right, a topic so scandalous I have to give you an asterisk. Basically.

I watched another budget Christmas film, and now I hate this whole idea. Basically.

A review of a gig I did that wasn't great, followed by a fourth Christmas film review that was truly terrible. Essentially.

A quick chat about improv comedy and some stats about the podcast for 2025. Basically.

This was more of a test to see if remote podcasting works. By some miracle, it did. Not sure how, these things never work. Anyway, a slow and quite tired chat with Ben Cosmos as we talk about life, the universe and things they lied to you about.

Fourth time I've tried to record this due to stupid technical hitches. A gig review and a bit about another rubbish Christmas film on Netflix. Mostly.

Not gonna lie, I decided to get this one as it seemed rambling. I very (very!) rarely edit anything as I want everything to be au naturale (that's French for normal). But I edited this, and now it sounds like I drank 4 espressos before talking. Sorry. Essentially.

Something about looksmaxxing and the 'Reviv' mouth guard (aka a myobrace) and then, a look at Hot Frosty, a very serious and important work of art. Bascially,

A kick off of some short review of Netflix Christmas films, starting with 'A Merry Little Ex-Mas' starring Alicia Silverstone. Spoilers included. It's rubbish, but they're all going to be. Basically.

A reflective chat. Basically.

A chat in the park about how we're all getting more stupider. Mostly.

I don't know if these live gig podcasts are any good but here's another. I won't be doing this much as who can be sick with nerves and record a podcast? Essentially.
