In today's episode I am joined by Hoani Hotene, he's a Wellington based comic and was the 2023 winner of NZ's Raw comedy competition, quite an achievement and I was delighted to have him on the show. Hoani brought with him the Errol Morris documentary Gates of Heaven, made in the 70s about people who own and operate pet cemetaries.

Today I am joined by Aimée Thorne, and up and coming comedian from Auckland becoming known for her dark comedy.

Definitely get along to one of these shows if you see it being advertised!

I've been wanting to talk about baseball at length with someone ever since I saw Moneyball. Great film.

Towards the end we start getting into how baseball is deeply ingrained within american culture in a very interesting discussion.

Ruddle Me This! with Taylor Ruddle ·

2023/07/02

I've been writing and designing for the best NZ based satire news page, The Lamington for about 3 months now and I thought it would be cool to have a chat with Danny & Fin the 2 lads behind the project. We went through the origins of the idea, how they followed through and got it off the ground, what's in store for the future of The Lamington and then we went through a couple of our sizzle reels, headlines we wished had got through but didn't for whatever reason. The interview was rife with

16. Revisiting A 15 Year Old Idea w/ Hamish Mabon-Ross

Ruddle Me This! with Taylor Ruddle ·

2023/06/25

In today's episode, I chat through an idea I had when I was around 15 or 16 years old. I started creating a flash animation of the story but possibly due to moving house or a PC dying I never got around to working on it any more. I always liked the idea for the setting, the magic system and the characters so it's never left my head all this time. I decided it would be great to bring Hamish, a fellow comic and fantasy fan onto the podcast where I could rattle off my story and ideas to him, and he

Ruddle Me This! with Taylor Ruddle ·

2023/06/18

This time I decided to try out a "Two Dudes Talking" style podcast and went in without any ideas in mind, just wanted to have a chat to Steve who's a good friend of mine. Steve's a very funny comic, as well as a talented musician and artist. He loves cats too, so he's a true triple threat. We start out talking about the kings birthday holiday which was the day recorded it, and moved onto James Bond, what would a New Zealand James Bond movie be like, and then we moved into chatting about Steve more;

In today's episode I rant and mostly rave for 45 minutes about this series of Japanese movies I love called Crows Zero. I show a few different versions of the international posters and talk about how hard it is for them to get the style right. I planned to go into more depth about the themes in the movies but once I started talking I mainly started raving about the things I love about the series and I'd love for you to check them out too. Let me know what you think of them in the comments!I've added

Welcome to The Phantom Files, a series within my podcast featuring paranormal stories from New Zealand; Cryptids, Ghosts, UFOs and everything else from beyond the veil. I'm a huge fan of the Monsters Among Us podcast and so have adopted the same format except focusing as much as possible on New Zealand. I highly recommend checking out Monsters Among Us, I have gotten so many hours of entertainment from that podcast. If you've got a story you'd like me to play on the podcast, all you need to do is

In this episode I talk about what gear and software you'll need to start recording content and posting it online, as well as breaking down the differences between each video platform and what sort of demographic they have and what sort of content works best with them. I also talk a bit about editing a proper special based on my experience making All My Covid Jokes towards the end. It's mostly relative to stand-up comedians but if you're in a different creative performance art form and find it useful

11. Talkin' Football w/ Big Jimmy Small

Ruddle Me This! with Taylor Ruddle ·

2023/05/21

I sat down with one of my favourite comics and people in general, Big Jimmy Small. Jimmy imparts a lifetime of passion for football on me in just over an hour. I'd been wanting to have Jim explain to me the ins and outs of British football for the longest time, even more so now that I've gotten so into Ted Lasso. Had a great time chatting with Jim, the conversation mainly skewed towards the business and culture side of football, but he also told me a bunch of stuff about how the game is played

Steven Lyons is BACK and this time we discuss all of the posters and media that have come out surrounding the second to last movie in the Fast & Furious series, Fast X! We go off on all sorts of tangents, from comparing the movies to Rocket League, to talking about a far future spin off for John Cena called The Pacemaker, as well as discussing the absolute insanity seen within the movies and trailers released. It's a fun episode, don't take it too seriously and I hope you enjoy it. Check out

Ruddle Me This! with Taylor Ruddle ·

2023/05/14

I sit down with Dan Bain, a writer, director, performer & maker of fun things based in NZ and finally get to pick his brain about his current Improv project Perfuct Storm. I'd been wanting to pull this apart with Dan for years so it was a very exciting conversation about where the seed for the idea started and how Dan's photography and graphic design skills have grown throughout this project. It's a fascinating conversation and Dan is very honest about where he came from and where he feels he

In this episode we hear part 2 of my interview with Jeff Clark in which we talk about his alter ego Gary Starlight who he performs some incredible musical comedy as, the first time I saw him do it my mind was blown and I was really appreciative of being able to do a deep dive with Jeff and asking all of the questions I've had on my mind since I've known him. We get into the origins of the character and how his mind works when he is playing Gary, it's very fascinating to hear. We then move on to his

Episode 6 of the podcast is live and under the new umbrella title of Ruddle Me This! It's the same general formula, me talking with a guest that I find interesting, except we're not limiting ourselves entirely to poster based discussions, although I have found the format of asking the guests about posters meaningful to them to be a great conversation topic so we will invariably see more episodes about posters, I just wanted to change it up so that it's not the only thing I can talk about with my
