Behind the scenes of the final Eggpod. Recorded by Rob Manuel and hosted by The Big Beatles Sort Out.
When we started this podcast the one thing we thought would be important to do was to talk to a priest and compare notes about taking confessions. Yes we're mostly taking confessions for comedy reasons but at the same time, we're dealing with real people's lives here and how does it compare? We've ended up with an interesting show that's surprisingly theological and philosophical and most of all funny. We didn't intend to make a bible studies class but here we are, we explore the usefulnes of prayer, and attempt to answer the difficult question why confession is needed. It's because it lightens the burden on your, well, we're not religious so we shouldn't say soul, but you know what we mean. Tackling this was a curious proposition really, there's something about talking to people of God where we feel we have to be respectful, so we don't start shouting about atheism but we do eventually, quietly fess up our own slightly hippy science beliefs, in line with Carl Sagan, that we are the universe looking at itself. And so is our cat. ROB MANUEL (retired vicar) PS: The alt title was 'We asked a priest: "If God loves us, why did he let Elon ruin Twitter?"'
Hello! We have the privilege and honour this week to share with you exclusive audio from behind the scenes at the recent live episode recording of Chris Shaw's final 'I Am The EggPod' podcast, featuring interviews by Rob Manuel with EggPod fans and alumni, including: Mark Lewisohn, Samira Ahmed, Joel Morris, Nadia Shireen, Jason Hazeley, Julia Raeside, Matt Everitt, Kevin Eldon, Jill Connolly, Mark Newlove, Eleanor Gray, Adam S Leslie, Chris Chibnall, James Marshall... and more! If you don't know, 'EggPod' was a massive influence on us starting our show. Chris brings such warmth and passion when talking about The Beatles, and meeting him last year and finding out that he listens to (and likes!) our little show has been a highlight of my podcasting journey so far. So, thanks Chris for the EggPod and for asking us if we would like to share this with our fans, and I expect, many people who will never have heard of us before! We hope you enjoy and please consider having a listen to some of our regular episodes from our first 4 series.
Stuart Maconie, David Quantick and Laurence Rickard discuss the 60th anniversary of The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night premiere, with Chris Shaw. Plus special guests Alex Lowe, Rob Manuel and Kevin Eldon.
Rob Manuel is the creator of the social media phenomenon FessHole, where people anonymously share their darkest, most mortifying secrets. In this episode, Rob's curated his best cheater (and wannabe cheater) confessions. The dead bedroom cheaters. The woman who wants someone to come clean her house. The guy who wants his partner to cheat on him because he's too gutless to dump his girlfriend honestly. Sarah and Tracy weigh in. Need more secrets? Check out Fesshole The Podcast.
Where are the deepfakes we expected this election? We look at which media platforms are instead shifting the political discourse, against expectations. Also on the programme: how to build a million-strong social media brand: the creator of Fesshole, Rob Manuel reveals all.Plus, there's a hole in the Telegraph's finances - we look at why. How can working class people get into TV? And who on our panel had Sky? We also ponder the problem ahead of the Edinburgh TV Festival. And, in the Media Quiz, we play Ofcom… or Rom Com.

Hello, potential listeners! It's Rob Manuel here, the creator of Fesshole, and co-host of this brand new podcast. Right, now is the time to reveal a little more by giving you a trailer that isn't just me and David Stevenson pretending to be aliens in an imaginary episode of Star Trek. So this trailer does sensible things like tell you the show is coming in multiple formats including: the week in review; interview episodes; talk to the fessors; and even a game show one. And we've included very, very tiny clips so you can hear we're not bullshitting and have actually recorded stuff. It's not just some confidence trick to see if we can make a podcast that doesn't exist chart in some KLF made out of sellotape stunt. However by showing you our ankles you can now think "but I preferred imagining your ankles, that was sexier" but this is the nature of media projects, at some point you have to get off the toilet and show people the turd you've pooped out asking "do you reckon this will flush? Should we see a doctor?" That's how it works at the News At Ten with Trevor McDonald, and that's how it works for us. Wait, you're bothering to read this coz you like confessions and you don't just want silly waffle. OK, here's some fesses we rejected this week as bonus content not available elsewhere: "When I feel dejected I like to eat a tub worth of vaseline" "I was struggling for inspiration for a name for my unborn son. I found that inspiration from my local newspaper's 'crimewatch' section" "Friend's Nan rang up all mithered, she said there was a paedophile in her pantry & asked if someone could come and remove it. Rather pleased to find it was a centipede and not in-fact a paedophile" (Rejected that last one not coz it's not funny, it is, but was slightly worried it was nicked off a video that did the rounds a few years back. See we have standards.) Anyway, enjoy the trailer proper - toodle-pip, and lots of love from your admin Roberto Manuel who believes in you and your ability to subscribe to this podcast.

Roifield is away so Harriet and Lucy are in high pitched hollering harpy harness for our weekly update. Before all that however we hear tales of their childhood activities with Harriet running wild in the Wallops and Lucy still cringing with embarrassment in the supermarket at the memory of the most obvious murder mystery stories ever. And that is before Lucy tells Harriet to ignore the script! Wild and hairy roller coaster ride this week! Harriet's grandpa's cousin is the very wonderful Ian Carmichael of Lord Peter Wimsey fame is just one of many of Harriet's family to get a name check. The DumTeeDum this week was https://soundcloud.com/robmanuel/the-archers-1992 by Rob Manuel. Bravo! Harriet missed Miranda's opening - but the point was the imminent breakdown between Justin and Lilian as Lucy explained and Harriet concurred - they now sound like an old married couple. Brighton was discussed, Harriet has a new theory - she thinks it is community service. Or as Lucy thinks is it drugs? Or a "wife"... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rob works in admissions at USC's prestigious Games Program, so if you've ever dreamed of video game college, we've got the inside word. Also: We talk Star Wars, Star Wars, and Star Wars.

If you're under 21, you will get carded before you are able to enjoy Episode 33 of For All Intents and Purposes because this week is all about booze, but with a nerdy/geeky focus, of course. Week in Geek: Andrew plays the pepper-based tabletop game, Scoville, while Dan dives into the Paleolithic with Simon Roy's Tiger Lung. Beer Bad: To discuss the threat of alcohol, Dan and Andrew put themselves through the trial of watching the infamous episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where they try to write a show with an anti-alcohol message, but goes completely awry. Discussion: Andrew and Dan look into the intersection of nerds and booze, bouncing around between the topics of licensed beers, specialty beers, microbrew, and the rise of nerd bars/gaming bars. Boston Legal: Since the episode is all about booze, why not talk about a...cancelled legal dramedy starring Captain Kirk and Ultron? Sure! Question of the Geek: What's your preferred alcoholic beverage for your nerdy pursuits (or your pursuits in general)? Leave your answers as a comment at our website, forall.libsyn.com. You may also leave your answers--or join in on the conversations--at the official Facebook and Google+ pages. Or you may email any comments, questions, or concerns to forallpod [at] gmail [dot] com.
