We all buy a lot of stuff but what three items you have purchased could be described as "life improving"? The PMG task the Pick 3 panel with choosing three purchases that have made a significant life improving impact on the panellists. Suffice to say the variance on this episode is significant! Let us have your choices via our social portals on X & Bluesky.
If disaster struck and your house was on fire, what three items would you try to save? The PickMaster General posed this question to the panel but gave the additional clarification that family, pets and photographic memories were already saved. Martin, Gareth and Andy ponder what items are deemed irreplaceable and what is important enough to race back for as the flames take hold. Let us have your thoughts via our social portals on X & BlueSky.
Maybe it is your grandmothers perfume, the smell of cooking on an open fire, pipe tobacco smoke hanging in the air, an oily rag as you worked on your first car or candy floss at the fairground, smells have the ability to take us to distant memories. The Pick 3 panel debate the smells that transport them to another time and place. Interact with the podcast by messaging comments/suggestions to our social media portals on X & BlueSky.
So many movies have sequels or are part of interrelated franchises, but what about some great movies that have never been revisited, what movies deserve a sequel moving the story forward? The Pick 3 regular panellists are joined by special guest, Ashley Parks, who is a keen listener and regular contributor to the show, to try and identify the top movies that could expand their original stories in a sequel. As ever, let us have your comments or further suggestions on our social media portals o...
We have all had them, if you haven't you are one of the lucky ones. This week the panel relive some of their worst journeys/travel experiences after the PMG selected the topic from the cloud based database. Martin explains why he hates a small Italian border town, Andy explains why a cheap holiday to Turkey was unnerving, whilst Gareth relives a parent's nightmare in Hong Kong! Let us know your top travel disasters via our portals on X & Bluesky, are they worse than ours?
The PickMaster General suggested to the panel that they list their top 3 "one hit wonders" but as usual this led to some debate as some artists only scored one hit in the UK or US, but had success elsewhere. Are they truly "one hit wonders"? Leaving Martin, Gareth & Andy to be the arbiters the PMG washed his/her hands of the topic and left it to the panel to make some big calls. As with a previous music related episode, some listeners might enjoy playing the chosen tracks between the pane...
The brief to the panel from the PickMaster General was pretty straightforward, select your top three animal stars from tv. However, somewhere along the way a couple of panellists (and apparently listeners) became a little confused and started including options from movies! As Martin frequently states, keeping the Pick 3 panel in line is like herding cats! Join Martin, Gareth & Andy as they sort of debate the subject they were given. It is highly likely that the PMG will impose sanctions...
We all watch many US comedies but which ones make the Pick 3 panel's top 3. As Martin, Gareth and Andy meet at an old comedy club the chances of much crossover between the decades seems unlikely but, as we all know, this trio have a habit of surprising us all. Join the Pick 3 panel as they discuss, deride and outright dismiss each other's choices but as we all say, there are no wrong choices only poor constructed opinions.
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...
