Description

The Continuum Podcast is somehow the very definition of being able to continue an endless conversation from episode to episode, made up of multiple subjects and discussions that Adam (the English one) & Kyle (the South African one) know very little about.


The guys share their thoughts and opinions allowing the listeners to be the “fly on the wall” on what everyday conversations between somewhat "normal" people are actually like.


Enjoy the almost seamless splicing of the Continuum Podcast, which shares high points and low – but is a great conversation of discovery between two friends that don’t really know each other, but have a good laugh along the way.

Adam and Kyle scuttle from rats to retro tech in another brilliantly offbeat episode of The Continuum. Things kick off with a deep (and slightly gross) dive into the mysterious “Rat King” — a tangle of rat tails and urban legend that sparks equal parts horror and laughter. From there, the duo drift into a boozy discussion about gin, allergies, fermentation, and homemade moonshine, before tackling the sugar vs. sweetener debate with their trademark mix of curiosity and confusion. Eventually, nostalgia takes over as they reminisce about Tamagotchis, knock-off toys, and growing up without name brands. It’s a chaotic blend of biology, booze, and 90s memories — all served with that classic Continuum chemistry.Like and Subscribewww.thecontinuumpod.comX - @thecontinuumpodInsta - @thecontinuumpod Hosted on Acast.

Adam and Kyle lock themselves in the fallout shelter for a doomsday deep dive, bringing their guide on how to survive a nuclear fallout. From survival kits and canned goods to water filters and hunting knives, they break down what it really takes to live through the apocalypse... or at least pretend to.Along the way, they debate the best prepper food (beans or spam?), whether rainwater is safe to drink, and how to sharpen knives without losing a finger. Things get darker (and funnier) as they discuss gas masks, makeshift shelters, and the eternal enemy of every prepper. Rats. Equal parts survival guide and comedy of errors, this one proves that The Continuum could probably survive the end of the world — just not very well.Like and Subscribewww.thecontinuumpod.comX - @thecontinuumpodInsta - @thecontinuumpod Hosted on Acast.

Adam and Kyle return for another wild journey through conspiracies, cults, and catastrophe. Kicking off with a deep dive... well, a dive into Scientology.

Men in Black, Hollywood’s weirdness, and the surprising history of Pinewood Studios.But as always, things take a darker turn: talk of alien sightings and mysterious drone swarms gives way to speculation about World War III, nuclear fallout, and survival in a post-apocalyptic world. By the end, the pair are weighing up their chances as doomsday preppers, canned beans and all.Funny, thoughtful, and just a little paranoid — this is The Continuum at its best.Like and Subscribewww.thecontinuumpod.comX - @thecontinuumpodInsta - @thecontinuumpod Hosted on Acast.
