Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/04/24

Pack a bag, wrap up tight, and follow close behind Dani, Justy, and Oisin as they investigate the Dyatlov Pass Incident. Ticking off a big topic on Dani’s bucket list, we defrost the mystery of what happened to the nine experienced hikers who died in mysterious circumstances in the Ural Mountains in 1959. Was it hypothermia? Military tests? Avalanche? Abominable snowmen? Abominable snowmen from space? Badgers? A time-travelling Dani looking for content? You’ll have to listen and find out. Expect a

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/04/17

Throw on your leather trenchcoats and tiny sunglasses, it's an episode for the philosophy and quantum physics sickos out there as we hack into the mainframe anad try to figure out simulation theory. What around us is real? How is the Fibonacci sequence so prevalent in nature? Why do we dream? And in Dani's case, what is 1 + 2?In between the binary code we touch on The Sims, Liverpool-based time slips, Cool Runnings, Schrödinger's cat and Leon Kennedy.Don't forget to follow us on Instagram

What The Fuck Is Wrong With America?: Part II -...

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/04/10

Crack open your history books, Oisin is taking us on a tour through the evils for America once again. This week, we're testifying in front of the very chill, very normal Joseph McCarthy and his Red Scare, which swept through the US in the 1950s and essentially rewired the American political brain, with its effects still being felt today. Along the way, we get into Roy Cohn and learning American culture through The Simpsons, Billie Holiday, The Rosenbergs, The Kennedys, some very questionable

The World's Politest Cannibal

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/04/03

Short episode alert! Probably best you don't cue this one up around mealtimes, because this week we're opening the casefile of one Armin Meiwes, the infamous German cannibal and his voluntary victim Bernd Brandes. Trigger warning, which shoud go without saying. Along the way, there's more of Oisin's impressions, Dick Tracy, the open awfulness of the early internet, Star Trek novels, but shockingly not a single Simpsons "Armin Tamzarian" reference. For shame.

Those Wacky Annunaki

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/03/27

Back on our weird shit this week! Justy guides Dani, Oisín and you, our lovely listeners, into the stars to tell us about the Annunaki, the ancient and mythical deities who supposedly decreed the fate of mankind. Just like the elites on Epst... no, we won't go there again.This week's tangents include Dani's fear of "Earth Song", old people's mouth sounds, and yes, hog talk.

Nobody Asked! A Palette Cleanser

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/03/20

Switching lanes this week, as Dani's sporadic side-podcast breaches containment onto main feed. We thought it'd be a nice change of pace after 6+ hours of Epstein dread, so instead have Dani and Justy delving deep into the dire depths of Reddit stories. Next week, we finally get to our Annunaki episode!

Epstein, Part Three

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/03/13

We can’t promise that the Epstein debacle will end any time soon irl, but we can confirm this is our last episode on it for a while! It’s all just very bleak! We need a bit of a break! As ever, big ol’ content warning for everything you might think we’ll talk about. Some bright spots along the way include SNL’s never-ending unfunniness, Pete Hegseth being “rugby straight”, the Glasgow derby infecting Dani’s twitter mentions, Justy almost getting accidentally pegged, Winter Olympic jigglies, and a

02:29:04

Epstein, Part Two

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/03/09

Surprise! It’s a Monday episode because the whole Epstein of it all is just too horrific and ever-evolving. Once again, a colossal content warning for some very dark things discussed in this episode, which you can probably guess. On the happier side, we have delightful tangents about Pokemon and Spider-Man 3, some hog talk, Oisin’s always impeccable impressions of terrible human beings, and the coining of the term “subpoenis”

02:02:25

Epstein, Part One

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/03/06

In the first of what will - depressingly - no doubt be an ongoing series, we’re opening the Epstein Files. Needless to say, and without going into specifics, a ginormous general content warning applies to this one. Non-nonce-related conversation topics include Dani’s utter hatred for Punch the Monkey, how the feds are spying on our episode recording sessions (leading to our previous attempt on this topic mysteriously failing), Justy’s adventures in mid-00s Tennessee, Boris Johnson gifting a peerage

02:17:27

The Legend Of Lilith: Demon or Demonised?

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/02/27

Welcome one and all to this week's episode, focusing on Lilith, the entity of many descriptors; the actual first woman, demoness, baby-snatcher, feminist icon, and patron saint of edgy goths.On our journey we found the Church of Sheryl Crow, slander white women with dreadlocks, demons as purely transactional businesspeople, the Charlie Sheen documentary, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Saint Tony Soprano, the RFK/Kid Rock workout video and what our hosts would do if they had infinite money.

02:34:55

Some Kool-Aid For Thought: Jim Jones And Jonestown

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/02/20

Who doesn't love a cult? This week our three beloved leaders Dani, Justy, and Oisin takes us down to Jonestown and investigate the beginnings (and ending) of its charismatic founder Jim Jones. Along the way, expect playground rumours from the death of Scatman to the ever-present celebrity rib removal, Jocelyn Carter’s love of the weirdos, nature vs nurture, the smugness of born again Christians, a lot of mum talk, migraines and the Movementarians.

02:06:27

What The Fuck Is Wrong With America, Part I: The...

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/02/13

In the first of an ongoing series, and maybe our most self-flagellating episode to date, Oisin takes the wheel and directs Dani, Justy, and our loyal listeners to the start of darkness of the United States: those damned Puritans. Along the way, we pass by Justy’s drag dreams, Florida Man, London Dungeons, how all our problems started with Henry VIII wanting to get his end away, The Righteous Gemstones, and the downsides in living in a place named after Oliver Cromwell

02:48:14

A Big Smug Bollocks: Sailing Around The World With...

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/02/06

Somehow an episode about a saint hosting Easter on the back of a whale is one of our least supernatural episodes. Go figure. As we follow aul Brendan's path across the Atlantic, Dani, Oisin and Justy hit on Heated Rivalry, Biker Mice From Mars, the oxen vs cows debate, the need for a new Hocus Pocus bingo card, a giant tangent about Irish geography and Irish TV, Greek myths and Bible stories, Justy’s whale boat adventures, Irish women being the original manic pixie dream girls, some much needed

John Wayne Gacy, Part Two: A Little Window Into...

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/01/30

Hope you're all ready for 2.75 more hours of depraved serial killer talk. Sunshine lollipops and rainbows next week, guaranteed*. Interspersed between the awful this week is Oisin’s love for touring the most horrible places in the world, how Bernie Sanders would’ve saved the world, the various smells of Dani’s apartment, the impracticalities of vaginas, Dani’s mob wife dreams, a blatant attempt to get KFC to sponsor us, and a slightly gross/depressing story time with Justy. * (not a guarantee)

122:14

John Wayne Gacy, Part One: A Fat Clown With A Smelly...

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/01/23

Dani, Oisin, and Justy dive into one of the big topics of true crime this week: John Wayne Gacy. Naturally a big ol' content warning for some truly horrible shit, but mixed in to that, we talk about Oisin’s terrorising twin uncles, Hollywood Ireland vs real Ireland, morticians (shockingly no mention of The Undertaker or Paul Bearer), Justy’s Ed Gein/Mickey Mouse impression, Jimmy Savile, sex lives of the Romans and the Greeks and Ask Jeeves.

Stupid Sexy Selkies

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/01/16

This week Dani, Justy, and Oisin stay true to their Celtic roots and dive into the myth of the selkie, mythical shapeshifters who live as seals in the sea and beautiful women on shore. Along the way Justy provides us with a new theme song and his very own selkie story, we get into manic pixie dream girls, bear fighting, winklepickers, Erika Kirk's Mourning 'N' Fireworks Extravaganza, and horse whispering.

Talkin' Tundras: All The Weird Shit In Alaska

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2026/01/09

We're back! After a little winter break, Dani, Justy, and new co-host Oisin have defrosted to talk about the weird wilderness of Alaska. Pyramids, weather control, UFOs, and selkies for some reason!

148:59

Disastercast: A Stroll Through Chernobyl

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2025/12/12

All glory to Hocus Pocus! Meltdowns aplenty on this week's episode. No, not an in-depth discussion of Dani's love life, but deep diving into the Chernobyl disaster; the build-up, the fallout, and cover-ups. Along the way, there's dog talk, your usual handful of Simpsons episodes, Rasputin, questionable accents, and the ethics of fancying Gillian Anderson playing Margaret Thatcher.

138:02

Talkin' Montauk

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2025/12/05

This week, Dani, Justy, and special guest Oisín dive into the unhinged lore of The Montauk Project, a Cold War conspiracy where the U.S. government allegedly dabbled in psychic super-soldiers, time-travel mishaps, and a monster... basically real life Stranger Things.

138:05

Technically The Twilight Episode?

Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus ·

2025/11/28

This week on Hocus Pocus, it's werewolves vs vampires, which makes sense because Justy's hairy and Dani sucks. Along the way, expect discussion of Sinners tampon storage locations, the submarine episode of The Simpsons, Justy's adventures in Romania, and a few technical difficulties.
