This Reality Podcast: No 106

Episode 106: 52 minutes running time

Hello from Oxfordshire! This week’s podcast brings excellent music from four bands and toe-curlingly awful singing from its two presenters. No, really!

Talkie bits:

• Bren spent all day standing on a tall hill on a common in Hampshire eyeing up horses
• Soph’s just glad the week is over!
• American rapper Snoop Dogg has won a two-year legal battle to be allowed in to the UK. Is he mad? To be allowed *in*?
• Bren has a rant about Americans claiming to be Irish
• Bren has a rant about Glastonbury music festival
• Soph asks if Bren’s standing on a soapbox
• Allegedly, Bren swore at Soph at 4.15am (I can’t believe it, myself)
• Allegedly, Soph discovered Bren sitting downstairs singing aloud at 3am – and the fruits of this singing are shared with you in this show!
• We’d like to thank a couple of people for saying nice things about the podcast, on another website. So… thanks!
• We’ve had a lovely email from The Deputy Minister of Public Works in South Africa who is offering us 20% of 3,500,000 USD just because we’re excellent. And all we have to do is give her our bank account details…
• Pink Floyd won their court case against EMI. Question: Are EMI on drugs?
• We big up Ade at TunaTheDay.com for putting on a gig at The Living Room in Oxford in aid of Twestival. More details here
• The American organisation PETA? They’re total nutters, right?
• How Bren was right – the SciFi film The Island seems to have stolen borrowed heavily from the 1970s SciFi film Logan’s Run

You want more? Really?
