#TBR237 - The Best of the Black Stuff

Tall Boy Radio ·

2024/08/09

Guinness. It's synonymous with the word stout.... but is it the best and could we pick it out of a line up. 11% of beer sold in the UK is Guinness - so it's no wonder that a couple of beers have gone up against it recently. We blind taste test the classic Guinness and a couple of upstarts : Conor McGregor's Forged Irish Stout and BrewDog's Black Heart... and just for good measure, we see if we can spot the Guinness Zero too. We also rate them and pick our favourite whilst

Ramesh Nyberg served over 20 years in a Miami, Florida Homicide Department. He's also written a memoir about his time in the Police Department. He joined us to share stories from his book : Badge, tie and Gun - Life and Death journeys of a Miami Detective. It was fascinating to hear just how he copes with the pressure put upon him by a department that was dealing with more than 1 homicide a day. What's it like working in to a crime scene and how do you mentally process it? He shares the 1 case that

#TBR235 - Whiskey and Oatcakes

Tall Boy Radio ·

2024/07/26

Steve emigrated to Illinois in the USA in 2004 - some would say to get away from his brother and co-host of Tall Boy Radio, Dave. His Wife worked in the pottery industry and had a specialist position that they were crying out for in the US whilst the industry declined in the UK. We take a look at life in the US through the eyes of a Brit. Politics, sports, gun control, the education system.... no topic is off the table. Steve brought a Japanese Whiskey, we supplied an Irish Whiskey and a local

#TBR234 - The Election Special

Tall Boy Radio ·

2024/07/19

We went live on Election night to speculate on how the country had voted. The expectation was that it would be a landslide victory for Labour. We looked at whether this was a movement in favour of Labour or a case of anyone than the Tories. We shared how we voted and questioned each other's thoughts on the decisions we had made. We share our opinions on Farage (and the Farage-o-meter). Only time will tell whether this has been a positive change. The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis

Tall Boy Radio ·

2024/07/12

Rupert Newman joined us to talk about his love for motorbikes. He may very well deny that it was a by-product of a Midlife Crisis... but not every Midlife Crisis is a 💩 show. There's a dawning realisation that your time on this Earth is short and shortens with every passing second. Rupert got his first motorbike in his mid-40s - which is the average age that one does, apparently - since then he's been on some epic journeys. Go grab yourself a cold one and check it out.

#TBR232 Politics begins at home

Tall Boy Radio ·

2024/07/05

As the results of the Election are announced, we look at whether we should be voting for the party you support nationally or choosing someone to represent you and what's important to you locally. We take a brief look at Alsager and the candidates that you could have voted for. Do leaders debates influence the way people vote? Then we have a good ol' bicker about whether the Tory party are a bunch of self-serving liars, only out to line their pockets and the pockets of their rich benefactors or

#TBR231 - The King of Indie Podcasting

Tall Boy Radio ·

2024/06/28

Last year Beans and his cousin Beau guested on B Word's podcast Unfiltered Discussions to share their story of how they uncovered the missing branch in the family tree. Since then we knew we had to return the favour and get B-Word on to share his Podcasting journey. He began his journey with Bleach Bros a legendary show which, like Tall Boy Radio, bounced around and had a different topic each week... and if you don't know where they got their name, tune in to this episode - it cracked us

#TBR230 - Euros, Elections and Entertainment

Tall Boy Radio ·

2024/06/21

This week we share our opinions on The 2024 European Championships : Can England win it? If not England then who will? Why when England win their first game 1-0 do the fans have a grumble when France do, their fans celebrate it. We also take a look at the upcoming General Election : Will the Tories get battered? Will Labour do any better than the abysmal last parliament? How will Farage and Reform affect the vote? Finally we take a look at tattoos - neither Gaz or Dave have them so what would it

#TBR229 - The Mandela Effect

Tall Boy Radio ·

2024/06/14

The Mandela effect or false memory. Beans and Dave take a look at why it is so called - the science behind the phenomenon - as well as taking a look at the most common examples from the world of film and song (which was always going to be a challenge with Dave's appalling memory). Dave has done his homework and he brings a lot of facts to the table. But the thing with Mandela Effect is that it leads to a bigger question - if your memory is affected by your emotions and your beliefs then (a) how

#TBR228 - Back Garden Beers with Biggie

Tall Boy Radio ·

2024/06/07

Politics isn't just for elections it's deep-routed in society, businesses and our families. Biggie runs Mr Bigz Flavours restaurant on Crewe Road in Alsager. Last time out we heard his journey, this time around he wanted to talk about Politics. Not just about the election. Not just about how small businesses have been affected. He talks about society and where the problems have been created, how the current Government has helped the wounds in society to fester and his fears at the thought of

Tall Boy Radio ·

2024/05/17

Paranormal Investigator Lee from the Boo Brothers stops by to share the stories from his research. Lee is refreshingly down to earth and realistic about what he is looking for and what he expects to find. Motivated by trying to find if there is anything after death - whether that is a spiritual existence, a sentient other realm or maybe even a scientific explanation for the phenomenon that he encounters. Lee uses the latest technology to try and debunk his own experiences and to try and find a

Tall Boy Radio ·

2024/05/03

Sam and Kenn Davenport join us to talk Eurovision. The Eurovision song contest was designed to help unify Europe after the horrors and division of World War 2. Yes it’s camp and yes the voting is often based on political motivation and nepotism. What’s wonderful about it is the way that it unites us with our differences. Some folks will sit down and watch it every year whereas this episode’s guests go a little deeper. Sam and Kenn understand the significance of each song and know the background of

It was an absolute honour to have Patrick join us and share his life story. He has been called the happiest Bus driver in London - but there's a big back story and that's a big part of the reason why he is so happy. Born in London to Nigerian parents, and having spent some of his youth in his beloved Nigeria, Patrick's upbringing wasn't without it's difficulties and challenges - this lead to him serving several stints in prison and his addiction to Class A drugs.

How does AI, synthetic biology, transhimanism and simulation theory all tie in together?

We all are very aware of AI and have an idea of how it could impact our lives positively and negatively.
