Father and Son Days

After last week’s triumphant return, we slide straight back into classic Father and Son Days territory with a topic episode — this time all about Vikings. We dive into our possible Viking ancestry, discover what the word actually means (spoiler: not flattering), marvel at longboats, goats on boats, painted teeth, skiing gods and onion-based medical practices. There’s a brand-new Viking song, a chaotic quiz, and even a short detour involving humanoid robots and pandas on planes. It’s good to be back. Hosted on Acast.

After seven-and-a-bit months away, we return — and we’re happy to confirm we are not dead. In this first ever Talking Rubbish episode, we talk illness, holidays, badgers, claustrophobic theme-park rides, re-branding the show, and our new plan for recording episodes. We also introduce a brand-new segment where Conor reads the first chapter of a story… and David now has to continue it. What could possibly go wrong? Hosted on Acast.
