Session 14 : April 24th

Oh well here we bloody well are! Matt is still enjoying the nicer weather in South Wales this Spring, Chris has been enjoying even sunnier climes in Malta, despite the constant construction work and church bells every 15 minutes. Meanwhile there's some reckies on the go including the new Peak Blinders film, Will and Harper, Dare Devil and.....Teen Wolf! Yes, it still stands up, even if its while surfing on top of a van. The April 24th's emerge as the birthday and to end all drum and bass birthdays and in deaths, we pay tribute to members of the almost rans 'Badfinger'. Plenty of Bealtes stuff going on as per! And to add to the current dystopian feel of the world right now, we celebrate the anniversary of the release of one of the best AI themed films ever made. Harry is on form this month, if a little grumpy as is often the case.

Session 13 : March 27th

It’s March 2026, and the air at The Biz & Shizzle is thick with the scent of daffodils! Chris and Matty settled into the snug on Friday, March 27th, just as British Summer Time loomed. Chris arrived sporting a suspicious pink glow—allegedly from a 117K bike ride. Chris has been binging Oscar winners like Hamnet and the Norwegian masterpiece Sentimental Value. He claims he can "get by" with Norwegian but mostly had to rely on the subs. Matty rewatched The Fall Guy (2024) and is currently deep into a Peaky Blinders marathon. He’s averaging two episodes a night, mostly to spot all the Liverpool filming locations. The 27 Threes: Matty assembled a "Birthday Band" that would either be a Grammy-winning powerhouse or a total sonic nightmare. It features Mariah Carey, Fergie, and Jesse J on vocals, backed by the keyboardist from Genesis and a Japanese guitar hero. In Memoriam: The pub raised a glass to Ian Dury and Dudley Moore, the "sex thimble" who went out hearing the music all around him. Hip-Hop & Hams: The show got a much-needed injection of hip-hop history with the anniversary of Run DMC’s debut and Tupac Shakur’s Me Against the World—the first album to debut at number one while the artist was in the clink. The Fancy Fact In a crossover nobody asked for, it turns out Quentin Tarantino and Fergie were both in the film Planet Terror. Tarantino, playing a zombie, reportedly bit Fergie during a scene, proving that he really does get his teeth into a role—literally. The boys will be back on April 24th for Session 14, feeling a little bit older! You can hear us on all major platforms, so don't forget to subscribe wherever you get your shows at!

Session 12 : February 27th

For February 27th we let you know the vaguely interesting things that happened in popular culture and we do it with, quite frankly, vim! Brace yourselves....It's our 1st Birthday Podcast. And we barely mention it. What do we talk about instead? Bread? No. Politics? Barely. Flesh? NO! But there's load of boss stuff to hear about. All we're saying is: Bowie - J Dilla. (if there's a few audio mistakes e.g. dogs, tummy rumbles and lips smacking, we're sorry, it's one of those months. It actually takes a lot of work to put one one of these things into the world) Listen in now.

Session 11 : January 30th

Happy New Year from The Biz & Shizzle! It's January, and the dust (and ham glaze) has finally settled. The tinsel is looking a bit tattered and the pub smells faintly of regret and disinfectant, but we are officially back open for business. First and foremost, Harry Piles is back behind the bar after his "invasive procedure" left the pub shuttered for a fortnight, but he’s finally back in his stride. He’s still moving a bit like a man walking through golden syrup, but he’s serving pints again, which is all that matters. The village is still reeling from Ham-Gate. It turns out the rumours of ticket tampering were just the tip of the iceberg. Brenda from the butchers has been officially banned from the raffle for three years after it was revealed she’d used an elaborate false thumb to ensure her own ticket stayed at the top of the bucket. The prize ham has been consumed, but the bitterness remains. We're now entering the 78th week of January and there's plenty to discuss: There's a final Beatles live show, a Bloody Sunday protest song, the death of a formidable woman and the announcement of 'The Jan 30's' the super band you never knew you wanted. Matt recommends The Bone Temple while Chris celebrates his Masters results as well as performing a decidedly dodgy Buffalo Bill imppression. Stay warm, stay curious!

episode Session : December 26th artwork

Session : December 26th

It is session 10 and the boys are celebrating a lovely Boxing Day bevy at the pub. Despite the festive atmosphere, landlord Harry Piles is his usual grumpy self, though he’s busy prepping for the arrival of "Spanks Sinatra" for the evening's sold-out entertainment. This episode is packed with "recos" and life updates, including Matt’s transition back to a two-dog household and Chris finally finishing his Master's degree (which features a shoutout to the podcast in his academic paper). The team dives deep into the Star Wars universe with a glowing review of Andor, compare the gritty realism of The Wire to Game of Thrones, and discuss the immersive—and occasionally cringey—method acting of Jared Leto and Jim Carrey. History and trivia take centre stage as they explore the origins of the "Day of Goodwill" in South Africa and the pagan "Wren Day" traditions. In the world of inventions, we learn that the coffee percolator, the pinball machine, and the handheld cell phone all share roots with this time of year. Musically, the Spice Girls and The Beatles battle for Christmas number-one supremacy, while the film world celebrates the release of classics like The Exorcist. Happy New Year!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
