Off Piste Podcast

Welcome to the first Off Piste LOST PIECE - segments of podcasts previously lost to time... until now. Years ago, an episode of ours got completely corrupted apart from about the last 8 or so minutes and as such never saw the light of day. Until today. Here are those intact 8 or so minutes. Enjoy!

On this week's Off Piste, the crew are talking... podcasts? Things take a turn for the meta as the discussion turns to fictional characters that should have *their* own podcasts, but who would they be? And what would their shows be about? Would they get any sponsors? Would they be better than Off Piste? That last one is rhetorical. Neil presents some stoic listening, Luck prepares for trouble and Richard achieves unlimited audio power. Meanwhile, Isla requests to help Flint interrogate Axel and Emiko encounters trouble.

Global warming is easily one of - if not the - biggest threat to humanity right now. And not just humanity, but also comedy podcasts. How are we going to keep making episodes in a wasteland where nothing grows, huh? Didn't think about that, did you? So the original Off Piste trio are back together to tackle this growing problem, but who or what from fiction are they requesting the services of to put an end to global warming once and for all? Find out as Luck changes the world's ways of thinking, Tull looks for his super suit and Neil throws a gargantuan amount of shade. Meanwhile, desperate civilians begin to flock to Wyatt’s personality cult and Kazuhiro has a heart-to-heart with Shigeru.

Find out as Neil sets his eyes on a large amount of currency, Tom wants to go somewhere with no need for roads, Bryony tackles microscopic electric butlers and Luck jumps in with a Hyrulian quest.

As we all know, obviously, a country like the good ol' US of A would never invade a foreign land purely to gain access to their resources. That would be ludicrous. But if - hypothetically - they DID engage in such practices, which fictional places should the US invade to, uh, "spread freedom and democracy"? Find out which places are to receive some unexpected guests as Tom continues to suck the fuel out of a different planet, Neil creates a militia of time-travelling assassins and Bryony weaponises every door across the Earth. Meanwhile, Shigeru finally returns to his feet and Flint loses his cool at Cueto’s confession.

It's Neil's birthday! And considering both Tull and Luck have had birthday-themed episodes for themselves in the past (#37 and #113 respectively if you're so inclined), it was only fitting for our resident tall boy to have one too. As such, he's being treated to some nice getaways for his birthday. But where in fiction is he being taken to? And why did we completely forget that we literally did this question the previous year (#114) despite Neil's insistence that we didn't? Find out the answers to one of these questions in this double-guest celebratory bash as Tom dangles a dangerous (and sandy) carrot, Bryony tries to provide a life well-lived and Luck offers an inadvertently risky safari experience. Meanwhile, Flint and Isla receive an unexpected visitor and Randall Jnr. leads Virgo on a wild goose chase.
