The Last Tuesday Project

Comedy

A group of friends get together once a month thanks to the wonder of modern technology to discuss one topic. That topic can come in the form of either a question, a subject, a claim, or a statement. The thing is, only one of us knows what that topic is going to be. That person shall henceforth be known as the Dimbleby. (It's a long story.) The Dimbleby has two topics in their pocket. They tell us the first one and then the rest of us have the opportunity to veto it based on a majority vote. If we veto the first topic, we hear the second topic. We cannot veto the second topic. You know, just to add a little bit of jeopardy to the whole thing. From that point on we have an hour to each research the topic. We can do it whatever way we want to, either through the internet, or books, or going to the library, or shouting across the road at your neighbour... Once the hour is up, we get back together again and talk about it. The Dimbleby guides us, asks us questions on what we've researched. At the end of it we come to a conclusion. Or not, as the case may be. That brings us to the point of The Last Tuesday Project. This is less about the conclusions we come to, although they can be fun and interesting. It's more about how we get there. Doing this sort of research - looking for evidence, sifting through the crap - is something anyone can do. We don't want to tell you what to think, and we're loathe to say that we want to tell you how to think. What we want to do is give you the tools so that you can come to your own conclusions without being swayed by biased information. Being able to detect fact from fiction, science from pseudoscience, brilliant ideas from bullshit. One group of friends, one topic, one hour to research. Welcome to The Last Tuesday Project.

TLTP 036 - Not-So-Innocent Bystander

6/25/2019
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Sounds like you guys letting us carry on making this podcast. Welcome to The Last Tuesday Project! This month Jane has grabbed the reins and landed us with a duo of deep questions. We veto the first question on male hormonal contraception (partly because Hayley's too drunk). Instead, we are forced at knifepoint to accept question of Genovese Syndrome, also known as the Bystander Effect, and how it has been affected by social media.

More often than not, we take our time. But this time we're going for a quickie. It's shorts episode of The Last Tuesday Project! Alex, Hayley and Jane are asking each other some short-sharp questions this month, questions that are interesting but probably wouldn't fill an entire episode. Hayley asks about exploding cars, Alex wants to know if it's OK to flash in a gallery, Jane makes us morph with binaural beats, and then Alex has the audacity to ask about poison cabinets.

This month Alex assumes the mantle of Dimbleby/Dimblebruce (we're still undecided) and asks Jane and Hayley about Hollywood's responsibility towards social anxiety and love, with a special focus on the trope of the Nice Guy. But the conversation goes far beyond this one area. We move on to looking at the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope, how mental health is portrayed in Bollywood, and how American Pie was actually surprisingly progressive.

TLTP 028a - Dentally Challenged

11/13/2018
It's time to get to the root of our resident dentist's thoughts - it's a dental TWOsday from The Last Tuesday Project! This time we've strapped Shaun into his own chair and are making him answer our own dental questions, on pain of having some of his tools be introduced to various squidgy parts of his anatomy. Is flossing worthwhile? Do we need to use mouthwash? What problems do dentists face in the UK? All this and more in the next 65 minutes. Do you like what we do and want to show your support? Well, you can now give us a helping hand via Patreon! Just go to https://www.patreon.com/LastTuesdayProject. If every listener gave us a dollar a month, we will be able to furnish Tuesday Tower with all sorts of hipster paraphernalia, as well as get Shaun a Hipstermatic 3000 beard trimmer for his birthday. Please donate - he's in dire need of a trim.

TLTP 028 - The Whole Tooth

10/30/2018
Canine you believe it... It's a dental-themed episode of The Last Tuesday Project! In this month's Last Tuesday podcast we finally answer the question that everyone’s been asking… are our minds being controlled by our drinking water? Shaun manages to get Hayley, Jane and Alex to do yet more work for his Masters’ by asking if we should be fluoridating our water supply. What appears to be a simple question turns into a rabbit hole which contains science, ethics and folic acid.
