Thomyk Podcast: Retraction

In which Thom and Michael look back at the retraction of Mike Daisey’s episode of This American Life. Michael talks about watching Game of Thrones with his mum.

thomyk » Congo

In which, immediately after watching Michael’s appearance on Cleverdicks, Thom and Michael discuss the travails of Thom’s apartment, Michael reads some of the words of Carl Sagan (without doing the voice), and Thom does a run.

New Thomyk Podcast: Kindle

This week’s podcast contains a nascent ill-thought-through meme you can join in with at home. Or at work. Or anywhere really. It’s brilliant.

thomyk » Artoo

This week’s podcast contains a lengthy discussion (I call it a discussion, it’s really me ranting at Michael) about R2-D2, what the hell he is, and why you’d design him like that (you wouldn’t).

Thomyk Podcast 111: Exploit

If you want to hear some opinions about various oscar nominations, difficulties in obtaining photos for Indian visas, and the strangely accepted racism present in news reporting, this is the podcast for you.

Thomyk Podcast 110: Infant

Another one of our slightly better, ill-planned, meandering podcasts this week. We discuss bringing children into offices, find out about Darren Aronofsky films LIVE ON AIR and have the inevitable technical hitch on Michael’s Macbook.

Thomyk 109: WikiLeaks

As the title would suggest, there’s much blathering about Wikileaks, although I also recap on my problems with Clairol’s advertising campaigns and talk rather aimlessly about some films I saw, whilst making something out of Lego at the same time. Will the wonders never cease?

Thomyk Podcast: Godot

We’re back for the new year with a meandering podcast about pretty much anything that leaps to mind, including a discussion of Christmas, Frankie Boyle and some films.

thomyk Podcast 82: Jungfrau

In which Thom and Michael tell you how to climb a wall, how to hang off a crane, and how to spot Alfred Hitchcock, as well as other considerably less worthy celebrities.

Thomyk on Shift Run Stop: 

Whether I really want to admit it or not, the bespectacled short-haired man talking about Lego in that video is myself. We’re on the wonderful Shift Run Stop this week talking about our podcast, Lego, role-playing games and many other things. Thanks to Leila and Roo for having us on!

thomyk Podcast 66: Trophy

In which Thom and Michael try to get Chatroulette to work, while recording the podcast, without any success. They might well try it again - but it failed this time. Nonetheless, they manage to talk about why you should vote, even if you’re a disenfranchised teenager, television programmes that they have enjoyed, the Oscars, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. They also touch briefly on the line-up for this year’s Latitude Festival, which they both are keen to go to!

thomyk Podcast 65: Precipitate

In which Michael and Thom emerge from some Heavy Rain, to find themselves in the National Theatre battling with failing batteries and frequent PA announcements.

thomyk Podcast 64: Curling

In which Thom and Michael reveal their love of Winter Olympic sports. Michael enjoys watching the sport of curling where people toss stones down highly polished blocks of ice. Thom enjoys watching a different sport of curling in his bathroom.

They also discuss the BAFTAs, and whether or not Heavy Rain will be a load of old button-jabbing wank, or the answer to every gamer’s slightly damp dreams (0.757 inches).

thomyk Podcast 63: Brits

In which Thom and Michael pretty much just continue from where they left off last week with rants about other people and things, like the Brit Awards, and the man who stopped in front of Michael at the top of a tube station escalator to highlight a passage in his Bible. Yes, he’s not letting that one go. It was really really annoying. You have no idea. Anyway, prioritise, focus and win!

thomyk Podcast 62: Flower

In which Thom and Michael are even grouchier than usual, and complain about practically everything that has crossed their paths in the last week. It’s worth sticking with it though, because once you get past that bit, they talk about cephalophores, Mesrine, Nowhere Boy, the Kinetica Art Fair, and their recent gaming experiences.
