Cereal Purchasing Ghost: A (Belated) Halloween Special

In this spooky episode, Jon and Alexander talk monsters, ghosts and general weirdness in the world of antiques. But we start with a toast to Jon's late father, a larger than life character who will be greatly missed. Then we hear how Alexander was literally confronted with a creature from his nightmares, and the time when Jon attempted to shoot a ghost with a BB gun. And the two try to analyse a bit of video footage seeming to show some poltergeist activity at a saleroom in Royal Wootton Bassett. In a slightly different version of 'Did They Get It Wrong', we hear about two cases from the same auction house of under-valuing and over-valuing (arguably).

How to Lose $248 million

Heavy on the ASMR, in this episode Jonny and Alexander open a bottle of Rioja and a packet of salt and vinegar crisps while discussing the latest news in the world of antiques.

Trump's Goldification and Other Trends

Jon and Alexander are BACK and finally in double figures! Yes, episode 10 is all about trends (a theme suggested by a lovely listener) from the Hollywood style and how it can be overdone (yes, Mr Trump we're talking to you and what you've done to the oval office) as well as Seiko watches, generation Z, streetwear, urban art, Labubu Monsters and NFTs. There's a return of 'Did They Get It Wrong' and plenty of ASMR as your two hosts slurp beer and wine and munch on Monster Claw snacks in celebration of making it this far.

We Buy Vintage Cows for Cash Roadshow

Introduced by the great King Donald 1st of America, Jon and Alexander catch up on what they've been up to for the last seven months and rake over the remnants of what might have been a great show in January, predicting 2025 with laser precision, had the boys actually managed to be professional and coordinate their diaries. They also talk about those companies that thrust grubby pamphlets through your door promising top cash for gold and antiques and making out like selling at auction is a really bad thing.

The Artform Formerly Known As . . .

Back again after another long gap with episode 8 of the Antiques Anonymous podcast. In this episode, Alexander gets a bit serious about stress in the workplace and how important reaching out to a friend can be. We hear why a power cut and a jigsaw puzzle led Alexander to bid live on a coffee table and in their usual 'Did They Get It Wrong' segment, he reveals his dislike of Mickey Mouse (quick and terrible impression alert) and then on to the main topic this time - prints - as suggested by a listener. As they ramble on, Jon comes clean about his art degree and the hosts disagree agreeably in general about various artists including John Piper, L.S.Lowry, Tracy Emin, Albrecht Durer, Kathe Kollwitz, Damien Hurst (ugh) and Banksy. We also get an insight into Alexander's misspent youth 'studying' graffiti art. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
