The use of language has always been important but certain words/phrases have become overused and annoying. Martin, Gareth & Andy were tasked with finding their top three words/phrases that they would like to remove from everyday conversations. Unsurprisingly there were a few disagreements but also a surprising amount of consensus. Let us know via our X or BlueSky portals what your choices might be, it's not as easy as you think!
We all love our sporting heroes but where we they be without some sporting villains for us to root against. The Pick 3 panel debate the sporting villainy that has impacted them the most. For some it could be Maradonna's "hand of god" goal, for others it could be Schumacher deliberately running Damon Hill off the track but one thing is for certain, today's debate will walk on the dark side of sporting legend! Let us know your top 3 sporting villains via our social portals on X & Bluesky.
After a nice few days off after Christmas the boys are back to start their 2026 with a new topic handed down, as ever, by the mysterious PickMaster General. Martin, Gareth and Andy debate their top 3 Board Games and it's not long before one of the panel clearly breaks the rules of engagement. Regular listeners will not be overly surprised but following the recording one of the panel had an uncomfortable couple of hours in the PMG's office! Let us know via our X and BlueSky portals whether you...
As we arrive at 2026 we all have hopes, dreams and ambitions for the new year. Most of us set our resolutions with optimism and confidence, however, many lie in tatters by the end of January. Join the Pick 3 panel as they decide on their new year resolutions whilst on a big night out in Belfast. Will they be able to follow through on their individual ambitions, have they set the bar too low or too high, and will Andy escape paying the bill again? Let us know your own new year resolutions via ...
Our Christmas Eve episode gives the Pick 3 panel the opportunity to discuss their favourite Christmas memories. Plenty of festive fun, and a couple of heartfelt seasonal revelations. The PickMaster General and the Pick 3 panel wish all our listeners a very happy and peaceful holiday period. Please note that the content of this episode may not be suitable for younger children excited by the prospect up reindeers, sleighs and present deliveries via the chimney!
All of us look forward to the Christmas break and the chance to enjoy the extensive festive tv and movies while feeling somewhat stuffed with food. The PickMaster General asked the panel to consider their top 3 Christmas tv & movie memories and interestingly there was some crossover between the guys. Join us as we debate the greatest tv/movie moments from our Christmas's past. Happy Christmas to all our Pick 3 listeners, may it be a time of fun and laughter with your families/friends.
Who trains for four years, frequently alone and sometimes in the dark, to be ready to unleash your maximum effort and potential on a single designated day in the Olympics? Many have trodden this committed path and some have ridden their dedication to glory and an Olympic Gold medal. For others the challenge has proved heartbreaking, but still they carry on. Sometimes just making it to the starting line of an Olympic event is a triumph, a celebration of the true spirit of the Games. The PickMa...
We have all heard many "conspiracy theories" some of which hold our fascination whilst others are obviously complete bunkum, but it is a strange human trait that people create myths and legends to explain situations in which they have no personal involvement. The Pick 3 panel were challenged to pick the three conspiracy theories that have intrigued them personally and and how they rationalise the related mysteries. Join us as we delve into the unprovable world of the conspiracy theory.
All of us undertake a series of daily tasks that are tedious and given the chance we would outsource them. The panel meet to debate their top three choices of tasks they would willingly hand over the respnsibility to others. Some call this streamlining, others call it being lazy but if you are honest with yourself you would take the opportunity if it was available. Let us know what you would outsource if given the chance via our social portals on X and BlueSky
The rules were simple, pick the 3 famous people you would like to be for a day and then justify your choices. Trusting Martin, Gareth and Andy to follow these rules seemed risky, so the PickMaster general brought in a fourth panellist, a voice of reason, common sense and, more particularly, someone who knows not to let the "boys" get out of control. Despite the PickMaster General's best laid plans the episode veered off course in it's usual chaotic style. Interact with the podcast via our soc...
The panel meet to discuss the most overrated foods, especially those that are forced down our throats by influencers and marketing teams. We all have our preferred options but which foodstuffs attracted the ire of the Pick 3 Panel? Gareth sees himself as a knowledgeable foodie, Martin openly refers to food as "fuel", whilst Andy just likes a good nosh up. Strangely there is some correlation between the panel regarding their dislike of certain overhyped foods. Interact with the podcast via our...
Everyone has musical choices that they secretly love but won't really own up to when challenged. When the PickMaster General dropped this subject on the panel Gareth squealed with delight, Andy smiled enigmatically and Martin frowned. No easy or predictable choices this week but some revealing insights into the secret world of the Pick 3 panel's musical preferences (albeit the ones they keep hidden from general view). Interact with the podcast via our social portals at X & BlueSky, let us...
To celebrate Halloween the Pick 3 panel relocate to a haunted castle to discuss their choices for "scariest movies". Andy loves this scary stuff, while Gareth is reliving a childhood nightmare and will probably not sleep soundly for weeks. Martin tries to control the creaks, groans and howls to achieve a decent recording in a very inhospitable recording environment. Did all the panel make it out alive after taking such risks to bring an authentically spooky episode to our listeners? Interact ...
Unquestionably the episode with the largest amount of listener input as the panel try to remember their top 3 school memories. With so much material available what would the panellists choose from the halcyon days of their youth, albeit not all the stories were humorous. Our listeners chipped in with many memories and so this is a somewhat bumper edition of the podcast. Interact with the podcast via our social portals on X & BlueSky, remember there are no wrong choices but plenty of dodgy...
Regular listeners know that Gareth "moonlights' on a music podcast "The Vinyl Vault", so his little face grinned from ear to ear when the PickMaster General dropped this subject into the panel's inbox. The 80's & 90's were the golden age of the music video albeit Andy sort of missed the 80's (although not in a rock n roll kind of way) so would his selections be as good as those who were there? As usual plenty of debate, derision and dust ups as the panel defend their individual lists. Let...
The panel love a good debate so when the PickMaster General's random topic selector threw out "movie sequels (better than the original) the boys went to work researching and forming opinions. As regular listeners know, we never share picks prior to recording, so any crossover is purely coincidental. A wide topic with plenty of viable options, yet surprisingly some consensus emerged. Do you agree with the Pick 3 panel? Let us know via our socials, if not let's see your choices.
What three additional/essential items would you choose to take on a trip to the international space station? That was the question posed to the panel this week by the PickMaster General. Giving Martin, Gareth & Andy free reign to unleash mayhem in space was maybe not the smartest move but some of their logic was defendable, and some was just silly. As ever the panel had fun debating this interesting conundrum. Let us know, via our socials, what your choices might be if you were given the ...
Lots of things annoy all of us but if you had the opportunity what three things/habits would you ban from society? That is the task set by the PickMaster General this week but was he/she wise to risk throwing this out to the Pick 3 panel. Remember, there are three decades of separation between the members and therefore, the likliehood of agreement is at an all time low. Will Andy be more tolerant than Gareth, will Martin have any tolerance at all? Let us know what you would ban if you had the...
It was only a matter of time before the panel discussed the medium that the Pick 3 Show inhabits. However, the PickMaster General was pretty clear in his/her instructions, none of the Panel's picks could relate to other podcasts in which they had any involvement, so these choices are what the panel think are their best listening experiences within the wider podcast landscape. As usual there is a significant divergence in what each panel member chooses but as we always say, there are no wrong ...
Time for the Pic 3 panel to re-live their fashion mistakes/disasters as the PickMaster general throws a curveball topic, "fashion crimes (that we forgave too easily), in front of three suitably unqualified individuals. However, as you will see, there are few candid admissions and obvious fashion faux pas's to unearth and we apologise in advance for the mental images our listeners will be left with after the episode. Before you judge us too harshly, think back on your own triumphs and disaster...
