030 - What's Wrong with the Audio? w/Luka Muller

This episode Luke absolutely fucked it tbh and his recording got corrupted so his audio on this is very bad. But Luka Muller is still coming through loud and clear and is much funnier than Luke so it's still worth a listen. Our bad lol.

This episode Paul and Luke are joined by our first return guest, our good friend Nick Carr! It's a fun ep and whatever, but the most important thing is that I spent way too long on a frankly average photoshopped image for this ep, so if you don't follow us on social media you should change that so you can see the fruits of my misused labour. Also Nick has a podcast called Carr Crash and Paul and Luke are doing Dry July so check those things out.Carr Crash - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/carr-crash/id1511471064Dry July - https://www.dryjuly.com/teams/what-s-life-sober-battle

This episode we revisit an old segment to see what is hot, and what is not. The answer may surprise you! It almost definitely won’t, but I guess it might? There’s also an incredibly lazy letter from the editor from our old friend Linda Smith (please come on our podcast), and someone opts to write to a magazine instead of seeing a doctor. Same shit, different episode.

027 - What's Facebook?

This episode Paul kicks things off with a real ‘bang’, assuming you’re willing to be pretty generous with the term. Look it’s another episode of a podcast where we talk about a dumb lifestyle magazine, specifically their Facebook page this time. We don’t control their content, we just discuss it. Admittedly we could probably be a bit more selective at times but here we are.

026 - What's Mystic?
