The Desert Whales Podcast
Entertainment
Our podcast, at it's core, is essentially a dumping ground for all those conversations we'd like to be having about comics, TV shows, games and movies at work but work gets in the way. So we've put them all here instead! Fortnightly, we'll bring you insights (and occasionally oversights) of ours into these most entertaining of worlds and make crude attempts at humour while we're at it.
Regular features include what we're Reading, Watching or Playing, a For/Against debate and our topic of the fortnight. We're also writing a couple of comics as complete amateurs so sometimes we try to act like we know what we're doing by talking about how we go about the writing process.
It'd be our pleasure to have you as part of our audience and if you'd be so kind as to oblige, let us fill your ears with our voices!

The Desert Whales Podcast Season 2 Episode 7
5/31/2016
Welcome one, welcome all! It's nice to have you back and we appreciate your company. That may sound sarcastic but we really appreciate you downloading this podcast as often as you do to get very little entertainment in return. So cheers! Group hug, go team, etc etc. This time around we talk about all sorts - Uncharted 4 and its predecessors, Civil War, what the hardest and easiest horror film franchises would be to survive and, most importantly, what the best flavour of crisps is. That...
The Desert Whales Podcast Season 2 Episode 6
4/30/2016
The tremendous success brought by our last questions session made us think. Can we do it again? Would it be a success a second time around? The answers lie within dear listener. We ponder what fictional world we would live in if we could. We pore over what film or comic should be shite but is actually pretty good. We try to reach common ground over whether it would be better to fight a grizzly bear or a shark.All these questions and more sit in this podcast, waiting for you to listen to...

The Desert Whales Podcast Season 2 Episode 2
2/29/2016
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, gather round and listen to what has been described by some people as 'a podcast'. We can assure you that in the most literal terms, this is indeed something loosely resembling a podcast! This time around we talk about the Deadpool movie (complete with spoilers), there's Reading Watching Playing with an unexpected Playing and there is, of course, a magical thrill ride of a quiz! There's also a funny 'bing' noise every now and then throughout the...
The Desert Whales Podcast Episode 17 - Everybody's Gone To Rapture, Airboy, News and A QUIZ!!
9/15/2015
No we've not spiked your drink, you're visiting us of your own accord and we're glad to have you back! It's episode 17 of our podcast, the audio equivalent of biting into an out of date Scotch egg! We've got RWP (Everybody's Gone to Rapture, Airboy and a F4 film review), News and a QUIZ! The quiz has a weird little ending to it and we'd recommend listening intently to spot what we've done differently! As ever, we're eager to here from you! Any feedback we're happy to take on the chin like...

9/2/2015
There's a million and one reasons you should be listening to this podcast. I present you Reason 1 - uhhh... On this podcast we discuss more of what you've grown to learn to tolerate, what you've perhaps even learned to... like? Amongst all of what's there, know this - Tommy was naked when we recorded. And we loved every second of it.
