28 APR 2024 · Stoked to be finally sitting down with Chris Ingham, a comedian from the Manawatū region of NZ and chatting about Ultra Marathon Running. I have an aunt and uncle who are into this so it was great to chat with someone about it. Don't think I'll be partaking in it any time soon, although I've been training to try and hit the city 2 surf 6km run next year! Chris is one of the deadliest gag merchants in NZ and it was a pleasure to have him on the show. Find Chris online on https://www.facebook.com/SJWChris and https://www.instagram.com/lol_gallagher/ for more!

25 APR 2024 · HossTown is a monthly podcast by two big boys respectfully making some noise, stand up comedians Taylor Ruddle & Matt Lilley. The aforementioned Mayors of HossTown take a lighthearted look at masculinity in modern times - it's a journey of trying to find a balance between being Cavemen and Scholars with plenty of belly laughs along the way. In episode 1 we see the Mayors of HossTown give a brief introduction about who they are, what HossTown is, where HossTown originated before moving into the main topic of the episode - can they beat their father in a 1 on 1 fight? Along the way the boys meander through previous fights they've been in, self defence classes and there's even a bit of sporting talk at the end! Find Taylor on all social media platforms @TaylorRuddleComedy and Matt on Instagram @MattLilley9

31 MAR 2024 · In this episode, I ramble about my nostalgia for the way I used to watch anime back in the 90s during my childhood, and then in the wake of Akira Toriyama's passing I talk about my memories of DragonBall and why it was a meaningful series to me. This one ended up being a lot longer than I expected, and there's still so much more I'd love to cover, so if you'd listen to more Anime themed episodes then let me know on the Patreon group or other social media and if there's any demand for it I'll definitely do more! Rest In Peace, Toriyama Sensei.
