2025/01/08

This week, comedian from Auckland and my good friend Bridie Thomson is back and we take a trip down memory lane talking about the series Kingdom Hearts, of which we are both fond. We talked about our first encounter with the series, how it influenced us growing up and what's to expect from the future of the franchise. This one is probably horribly confusing for anybody not familiar with the series so I won't hold it against you if you skip it!If you want to see more of Bridie, check out her

I like to try and start each year with a Q&Tay, but I'm not at the level yet where people have many questions for me so I thought I'd do what we call in showbiz "a pivot" and start each year by bringing my old reliable buddy Henry HIckman onto the pod and discussing as many tiny Joys and Banes as we can get through in 40 minutes,Joys:Hitting the drive-thru after a social event.Chocolate bars after they’ve been refrigerated.Breaking the seal on a bowl of dip.Punching this one specific spot on my

99. Post Mortem of the "What Do We Reckon?" Project

Ruddle Me This! with Taylor Ruddle ·

2024/12/03

In 2024 I attempted a creative project known as What Do We Reckon? Which was inspired by things such as Game Changer, 7 Days, Have You Been Paying Attention, Mock The Week and so on. We thought we could possibly create a similar format but make it more internet-y and less high budget and we were hoping that if the jokes were good enough, the lack of production value wouldn't matter to much. We created 10 weeks of episodes, usually dropping 3 videos a week and after 10 we decided to put it on ice to

Today I sat down with Dan Burgess-Milne, a Christchurch based Meditation and Dharma teacher, game theory educator and rapper. Dan performed a presentation called Shifting Paradigms at Nerd Nite and was put in touch with me through the good folk at Nerd Nite. I was quite worried I wasn't going to be able to keep up with some of the concepts Dan talked about in his presentation but after sitting down with him for an hour I actually do really understand his presentation a lot better, I hope this
