The festive period is a minefield of awkward moments, and New Year’s just adds alcohol and expectations. From countdown disasters to Christmas day cringe, this episode celebrates the moments that didn’t go to plan — but make great stories now.

England’s Ashes campaign is over, and the urn remains firmly in Australian hands after a bruising 4–1 series defeat. In this episode, we unpack how it unravelled: the moments of promise, the tactical missteps, and the performances that defined the series for better and worse. Was this a step forward despite the scoreline, or a reality check against a ruthless Australian side? We assess the captaincy, the bowlers’ workload, the batting inconsistencies, and what this result means for the future of English Test cricket. Honest reflections, hard questions, and where England go next.

Part 2 goes deeper. Trigger and Kensai reflect on the year, the purpose behind the podcast, and what they hope to build moving forward.

Budgets can be boring… but not this one. Join us as we unravel the UK Budget with humour, common sense, and just enough nerdiness to make you feel smarter by the end.

In this episode, we take a time-traveling deep dive into what it really means to be born in two very different eras: the 1940s and the 1990s. From the echoes of World War II to the rise of the digital age, we explore how daily life, culture, technology, careers, relationships, and expectations have transformed across eight decades.

Listeners will hear how someone born in the 1940s grew up in a world defined by rationing, rotary phones, neighborhood-first communities, and the birth of rock ’n’ roll—alongside the optimism and rebuilding that shaped mid-century life. Then we fast-forward to the 1990s, an era of dial-up internet, cable TV, early gaming consoles, and an explosion of pop culture, setting the stage for a generation that would navigate the shift from analog childhoods to fully digital adulthoods.

We unpack how attitudes about work, money, privacy, and identity have evolved from 1945 to 2025. How did we get from handwritten letters to instant messages, from local jobs to remote work, from traditional social norms to a hyper-connected global culture?

Join us for a thoughtful, entertaining look at the defining forces that shaped these two generations—and what their differences reveal about how fast the world can change. Whether you’re nostalgic for the past or fascinated by the future, this episode bridges the decades and brings the story of modern life into focus
