The NiliPOD.com: Justin Bieber is certainly riding the crest of his music wave at the moment and he's enjoying global success, dominating charts all over the world. And so we've decided to celebrate this fact by having our very first Justin Bieber podcast special. There's plenty of other features, but many have a kind of Justin Bieber twist, including our fun Nia vs Liv challenge that we've called 'Just-In or Just-Out!' And then there's plenty of showbiz news, interviews with Simon Cowell, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber himself (kind of), and some incredible Harry Styles gossip.
The NiliPOD.com: There's a real party atmosphere going on in the podcast studio in this episode, because it's Phil Lester's birthday, as in 'Phil' from Dan and Phil. We've also got that Phan calendar competition going on, which has caused a bit of a buzz, so keep listening out for that all important codeword. Features in this particular episode include how to get more views on YouTube videos (we keep being asked this, so we thought it would be good to chat about), and lots of good news involving Mary Berry, JK Rowling, David Beckham, Johnny Depp and J-Law. The Big Bag of Random also makes a welcome appearance, and we talk about our attempts at parody videos.

The NiliPOD.com: Welcome to episode 13, and being the 13th podcast, things inevitably all go horribly wrong, with accidental eye poking and choking causing chaos. Nia and Liv finally get round to playing The Big Bag of Random game, where they take out topics and different questions from a big bag and talk about them together. These topics include whether or not Dan and Phil should get back with PJ and Chris to become The Fantastic Four again, top radio DJs and popular new YouTubers that are starting to make a name for themselves. And what's all this about Harry Styles going solo, and Joe Sugg making another hit movie?! Tune in to find out this and more.
The NiliPOD.com: After taking a little holiday over the Christmas period, we are back once more, talking about everything and anything. Topics for this podcast include some grumpy middle-aged Australian men, why we always think of Dan and Phil whenever we play Monopoly, and Instagram themes. It's all very exciting and funny, especially when Liv undertakes a scientific experiment to determine whether or not the Celebrity Big Brother house is full of celebrities, or nobodies. It's 'Celebrity Rhyme Time' in Nia vs Liv, when Barack Obama is stroking a llama, and in the Good News stories, we learn that Justin Bieber has dropped his trousers (yet again!), Zoella is pleading for more privacy, Marcus Butler is suffering from a broken heart, and that David Beckham got a face full of chocolates over Christmas. Naughty Brooklyn! And listen out for the crazy chocolate competition.

But it's not just about the answers, it's the quickest one on the buzzer. And is Silent Night really the same song as Away in a Manger? We look into that nonsense, as well as Victoria Beckham's infamous missing right arm and all the latest about that epic new sci-fi movie spectacular - Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens'. And there's also the top ten alternative Christmas movies if you are all Santa-ed out!

The NiliPOD.com: We're getting excited about the new Star Wars film, so we've done a special 'Force Awakens' podcast to celebrate this epic event.

There's also a Star Wars game, some amazing 'Good News' and something incredible from the Google boffins. May the force be with you.
The NiliPOD.com: Who doesn't love Christmas?! Well, it's almost here and so this week's podcast has a really fun and festive feel, including the definitive nice or naughty list of names for Santa, but it's bad news for Liv (Olivia). The versus challenge is epic and it involves a real Dan and Phil advent calendar, so it is a tense and exciting one. The Big Bag of Random makes a welcome return, but what's all this about Aldi ripping off John Lewis, and why did Taylor Swift upset the locals in New Zealand?
The NiliPOD.com: For this episode, we've decided to celebrate the release of the exciting finale film, Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2.

K> Rowling herself. In the movie countdown, Harry Potter films have been given a Bake Off twist, including Dumbledore's afternoon tea in the Philosopher's Scone (rather than Stone) and poor Ron Weasley getting food poisoning in The Half-Cooked Mince (rather than The Half-Blood Prince). Lots more where they came from, and there's even an interview with a surprise special guest.
The NiliPOD.com: We really enjoyed recording this one, talking about the theatre, Christmas shopping, Zoella and our Dan and Phil Halloween costumes.

Tune in to find out more.
The NiliPOD.com: This was so much fun to record, although this week's challenge resulted in lots of shaking and screaming, with the introduction of a feeling game with some gross things designed to freak out the girls, just a little. Good News is packed with stories about pumpkins, celebrities dressing up, and brain cakes, which just sound a little unpleasant. And of course, there are some scary, scary stories with more than a few silly sound effects. Tune in to find out more.
The NiliPOD.com: This is not only our longest podcast, but probably the funniest. We talk about James Bond and imagine what the 007 movie titles would be if Bake Off's Paul Hollywood joined the MI6 - The Man with the Sticky Bun. Our second Nia vs Liv challenge is the 'Not Quite Right Quiz', while this week's Scary Time includes the Halloween stories Graveyard Terror and also Spooky Scary Skeletons. Tune in to find out more.
