This week Luke, Shaun and Ewan met to chip in on a collective rant inspired by the announcement of the European Super League and the state of modern football.
What happened to jumpers for goal posts and oranges at half-time? Well, not quite. But what has led to large parts of this sport becoming so fat-bellied, insatiable, disfigured and despicable?
What role do they, the suits punting product, play in this? And what role do we, the punters, play?
Sleep is something we all need, or do we? This week Luke, Ewan, Jamie and Shaun talk all things sleep. We discuss our own personal experiences with sleep, from bedtime rituals to unusual dreams before comparing different species sleep patterns. You can find our latest Social Patter Pod below or on all major Podcast platforms. - @ ThePatterPod
On this week's Pod we scratch the surface of our new Gaming Patter category with Luke reminiscing to Shaun and Ewan about his Halo Reach days and the community aspect of being in an online team with people all round the world.
Repent! This week on the patter pod we cast our leery eyes over the Seven Deadly Sins and decide gluttony is best. Luke, Ewan, Jamie and Shaun discuss the seven deadly sins that are believed to be the seven vices that spur other sins and further immoral behaviours. We cover each sin individually while thinking about how these ancient guidelines look in our modern day world and how some sins have developed over time.
What do we all have in common? Well for most of us it’s the Human Body. Coming in all shapes and sizes but internally we are mostly the same, some of us have stronger constitutions than others mind you. Luke, Shaun, Ewan and Jamie vouch for their favourite organs and discuss all the incredible wonders within us.
On this podcast, Luke, Shaun, Jamie and Ewan discuss serial killers. The fascination with true crime and serial killers seems to be growing endlessly and have a hold on a wider audience than ever. Like in the instance of poor Paul Krendler, Hannibal Lecter has direct access to our cortex and has set about consuming it in the most indelicate way. What does it mean that we are drawn to programmes about the lives of people whom (for most of us) we hope never to meet the likes of?
All that cold blackness
-This time on the podcast, Shaun, Luke and Ewan discuss the likelihood of alien life and what it could mean for us.
In this episode of the Patter Podcast Jamie, Luke, Ewan and Shaun dissect ‘fear’ - what our phobias are rooted in, how they manifest and how they’ve evolved to reflect our changing times. We discuss why certain characters and tropes are revisited in the horror genre whilst asking if fear is innate or learned.
British Royalty and American chat show Royalty came together in a bizarre televised collaboration where Oprah let Harry and Meghan tell their side of why they had to flee Britain to the sunshine of California -which got Twitter trending #AbolishTheMonarchy. Luke, Jamie and Shaun discuss the issues raised in the interview, the current feeling towards the Royal Family and whether or not the Monarchy should continue. Let’s be honest, the Republic of Scotland does have a nice ring to it.
Jamie, Luke, Shaun and Ewan discuss artificial intelligence.
We got together to speak about our understanding of how AI operates and what our cultural and practical experiences tell us about the future of AI.
We discuss what artificial intelligence can do, what it cannot do, and just how sure we are of these limitations.
Ewan was joined by Paddy to discuss his experience with the benefit system over the years and whether (a hypothesis dripping with hope) the Covid-19 pandemic might lead to some positive changes to the system.
The Millennium had passed with the world not imploding and the Y2K scare did not come to fruition, what was going to lead the way for this new generation of content-hungry Millennials?
“Hi, I’m Johnny Knoxville, welcome to Jackass!”
Luke, Ewan, Jamie and Shaun talk about the groundbreaking, generation defining reality show that is Jackass. Culture change, the dangers of fame and obviously our favourite stunts.
Luke, Ewan, Jamie and Shaun talk about the cheerful subject that is death, discussing the idea of an afterlife, ancient burials and the death design concept. But don’t panic all the discussions on this pod are light-hearted and might even be considered funny and entertaining - or so we hope. If you are someone who is not comfortable hearing or talking about death we feel this episode might not be for you and that's ok.
"Life is a sexually transmitted disease with a 100% mortality rate", R.D Laing said that and some people find the thought absurdly intriguing, others find it disturbing -we think most probably pinball between the two.
This week on The Patter Pod we're discussing an emotionally loaded topic that for some will simply sound like a harsh condemnation of their lifestyle choices. We're talking about PETS. At a time when pet ownership is more popular then ever we need to address the pertinent but often over-shadowed questions concerning both the ethical and environmental consequences of keeping animals. We can't ignore the fact that people love their pets any more than we can suppose there won't be found lurking in the mind of every excessively doting pet-owner their very own ego-obsessed, Joe Exotic.
Luke, Jamie, Ewan and Shaun dissect the topic with contributions from our Twitter audience.
Remember that glorious hangovers on a Sunday, the only cure was to retrace back into the pub and slaver with all the other Sunday Sesh-ers. Shaun and Ewan open the Zoom Pub for some light hearted nonsense and discuss the wonders of life such as cadavers, dolphins and can you really trust your dog? - @ThePatterPod
Luke, Jamie, Ewan and Shaun discuss the comedy performance and stylistic features of the Big Yin, Billy Connolly. Covering the delivery, the juxtaposition of concrete portrayals with the absurd, the separation of the sublime from the realm of everyday realities, the low comedic from the high tragic and even if that separation exists in a story about the cold rush of the north sea battering your testicles on a school trip to the beach in Aberdeen.
Jamie, Ewan, Shaun & Luke discuss a condition we all suffer from, chronic Scottishness or more specifically a symptom of this life long affliction, Scottish Miserabilism. Much of Scotland's cultural output is synonymous with tragic down and outs, bleak realism and the negative story, we want to ask why?
Ewan, Luke and Shaun talk over the drug related deaths and addiction in Scotland. In December 2020 the Scottish Government released a devastating statistic that in 2019 Scotland's drug related deaths increased a further 6%, doubling in a short five years. We ask the questions of how we got here, what are the important social issues that simply don't work and is decriminalisation the answer?
I was joined again by Luke, Shaun and Jamie to move our timeline on and Discuss Biden's 20th of January inauguration and Trump's farewell speech at Andrew Air Force Base, Maryland.
We conclude with a discussion of how Trump's administration might be remembered and our own personal highlights from his four years as President of the United States of America.
The four of us got together to discuss the US election of 2020 and the inauguration of 2021, taking in all incidents in between.
In part one of this two-part series, we talk election results, "stolen election" accusations, the "Save America" rally and the subsequent scenes at Capitol Hill.
