Not Dead is a Survivalist Guide to Modern life for the weary Human. ​ Punks not dead but maybe Emo is. We're three 30 something's Cass, Craig, and Ulfar try to make sense of what the hell is going on in the world. Covering why are humans so weird, what does the ending of Evangelion even mean, and are we old or are Emojis crap? ​They're here to help you navigate life with the odd tangent into film trivia and healthy tall person shaming. ​ New episodes every Monday; covering the weird, the outright ridiculous, and sometimes just shouting into the void.

    According to an English Football Song England is the home of Football. However after 55 years of not winning any major international trophy I think we can all agree that Football has moved on with it's life and has no intention of returning. The real question is what drove football away, possibly the English Fans who's hooliganism has made England the outcast of the world (not that England needed much help with that recently).
