Welcome to a Very Special Episode for a very special person (you). This was recorded live in front of a studio audience in Melbourne for the Writers' Week Festival. I think you'll agree that the interaction and banter with the audience really adds something electric. Despite co-editing with a professional production team, I'm sorry to report that this episode's mistakes include: Variable audio quality as both hosts varied in distance from the mic. Too many segments. Too little content. Egregious...

Its that time again -- Pod Cast time!! In this special episode, we talk about being uploaded to the cloud and explore the lives of digital humans. In more ways than one (wink). This episode's mistakes include: Not giving enough due fanfare to the eightyversary. Referring to Michael's beanie as Clouseau-esque instead of Cousteau-esque. No wrap up at the end so make sure you read all of the below text closely. Egregious factual inaccuracies. Become one with the internet, and like us on Facebook , ...

Still here? Oh very nice. Well we'd better get right into it then. We're back from our unintended working holiday to bring you topical and interesting content that invites examination of one's self. Today we give you some important historical lessons and Michael learns from his mistakes. Mistakes, in a nice segue, that include: Jumping between plenty of topics in excitement to be podcasting again. Incorrectly stating our time off as six weeks when it was seven weeks. Not finishing tax return. Eg...

How have you been? No, honestly, don't give me the trite answers you give everyone else - how have you really been? You deserve to be happy, that's all. And I just wanted to make sure. Anyway, we're back to talk while you listen. This episode's mistakes include: Not being about anything. But that's okay, isn't it? I mean, sometimes, things don't mean anything. Egregious factual inaccuracies. Don't overthink it, and like us on Facebook , follow us on Twitter , rate us on iTunes , and send your be...

Hello. Always weird starting these text entries off. Maybe next time I'll mix it up with a riddle. Anyway hope you've been well. This week we're back in different countries and corresponding over the internet, and talking about how people change their minds (or don't) based on this comic by The Oatmeal . It also includes discussion of our first ever proper email question. Exciting! This episode's mistakes include: Chocolatey fun beginning and end filled with creamy serious middle. A chocolate tr...

Welcome home for a special episode. Nick was in Melbourne, which meant the opportunity to record live in Michael's living room like the good old days. Plus, we were joined by special guest Britt, who lends a certain je ne sais quoi to the proceedings. Also, we ask what is love, baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more? This episode's mistakes include: Really imbalanced audio - sorry. Nick is quiet the whole time. Damn it. Hard-hitting, fast-moving, discussion that never quite amounts to anythi...

Oh, ladies and gentlemen, how we missed you. Our apologies for the delay, but I'm a high flyer in high demand zipping around the globe, and Michael lost his keys and couldn't get into his house. I've squeezed some time into my busy schedule, Michael broke a window, and thus we're back. This episode's mistakes include: Smugly talking about being smug (but what's new?). Overlooking the fact that we had an actual, legitimate email sent in. Stay tuned. We have some sponsorship openings coming up in ...

Hey folks, sorry for the wee delay on this, but we've been busy. But now you're more glad it's happened. We do a good bit of talking on this episode and tackle the ten commandments. We've made some improvements. It actually ended up being quite a serious discussion about morality, but it's wrapped in a rye bun of fun. This episode's mistakes include: Some quiet Michael, some loud Michael, but what's new? Not endorsing veganism when it's clearly the answer. Badmouthing treasured podcast guests. E...

Man, we're four for four (#444). This will be the most consistent in releases we'll be all year, given our impending work duties and lives returning to normal, but hey, what a month. In this final episode of our travel sojourns, Nick calls in from Japan for one last time. We talk about how to get enthused by things again, actively trying to get out of your comfort zone, and introduce a brand new jingle. Of course, this episode's mistakes include: Talking about ourselves OH WAIT WHAT'S NEW?? Not ...

Konnichiwa, hello, and welcome to a chaotic and delightful episode of the Deep Fought podcast. There must have been something in the water in both Melbourne and Osaka, because this went places . Don't want to spoil the fun, but there were some surprises along the way, so buckle up and enjoy. This episode's mistakes include: Some audio imbalances due to using the in-built microphone in a pair of earphones. For a change. Repeatedly hitting the wrong jingle button. We deeply regret this mistake and...

We couldn't let this thing go. Before Michael departed for Melbourne, we had a couple of drinks and had one last face to face chat to kick off the new year. We're talking resolutions, predictions, retrospection, and a few other -tions. We'll be back for more FaceTime podcasts in 2017, but in the meantime, this episode's mistakes include: Exceeding the hour limit on episodes. A few in-room audio hiccups due to unsteady mic. Not inviting Michael's dad to join us. Egregious factual inaccuracies. Wa...

Welcome back to the show after a wee travel hiatus. But we bring you a gift just in time for the holiday season - a locally produced, organic, free range podcast, with all the talk people in the same talk room. Plenty of Christmas chat today in a bit of a ramble, which also features a special reappearance by Eleanor after a long while. This episode's mistakes include: Did not give the podcast its deserved name. Energy trails off towards the end due to jet lag. Overexcitement leading to overtalki...

Thursday!? What is this, a Jewish holiday? For a variety of reasons, recording today felt necessary, so please enjoy today's hodgepodgecast of sporadic topic changes. It still turned out okay maybe? YOU BE THE JUDGE. This episode's mistakes include: Whiplash from abrupt diversions into different discussion. Joke plagiarism. Lack of sexy music during sexy moments. Egregious factual inaccuracies. Be more creative, and like us on Facebook , follow us on Twitter , rate us on iTunes , and send questi...

Woah. So that happened. We needed to talk about President Trump, so we called an emergency podcast and worked through our feelings live on the Facetime. This episode's mistakes include: Hot takes by definition not yet fully developed or nuanced. Limited funnies, oversupply of horror. No apology for last episode's horoscopes somehow not seeing this coming. Egregious factual inaccuracies. Don't give up hope, and like us on Facebook , follow us on Twitter , rate us on iTunes , and send us your topi...

Hello lovelies, and welcome back to the show, just in time for this week's democrapocalypse. This episode consists of some generalised election thoughts with a bit of questionable moralising, as well as a truckload of your Favourite Podcast Segments™. This episode's mistakes include: Some sketchy audio due to beard scratching on mic and sniffles (guess who). Putting off Science News for another week. Forgetting the name of comedy legend Larry the Cable Guy. Egregious factual inaccuracies. Make y...

Yo yo yo, it's podding time, and we're talking the apocalypse. This one has an interesting arc to it, with a whole heap of silliness to start, leading into a whole heap of seriousness, from which we effortlessly transition to a fun-filled finale. It's a ride. This episode's mistakes include: Never putting the finishing touches on our survival plans. Expecting people to explore Advance Care Directives with us after all that nonsense. Not acknowledging this week's sponsor, Purina, making all our a...

Hello once again, and apologies for our lax episode delivery. To our credit, we did attempt to record two weeks ago, but it was shit so we stopped. You're welcome. As you know by now, we only deliver quality product, week after week. Anyway, this episode's mistakes include: Too much time spent discussing the topic instead of waffling off on tangents. Intelligent discussion across of variety of interesting and thematically connected topics. A light-hearted and fun look at some deep philosophical ...

So, being totally upfront about this, there was some alcohol involved in tonight's recording. It means that we drifted across several topics in a haphazard fashion. You love it. This episode's mistakes include: The gentle tinkling of ice in glass beneath the conversation. The choppy editing around frustrating connection drops. The lack of sponsorship despite high quality marketable content. Egregious factual inaccuracies. Get thranched, then like us on Facebook , follow us on Twitter , rate us o...

Hello hello hello, and welcome to another episode of Deep Fought, the world's only internet-based podcast. This week, we try to work out what kind of celebrities we'd be (no no, you're too kind, but we mean outside of the podcast realm). We also talk about goat meat, cheese, films, and Michael genuinely impresses with a mentalism trick. This episode's mistakes include: Surprisingly fewer edits required than Nick implied there would be. Surprisingly decent audio quality for most of the episode. S...

Another midweek podcast. What have we become? Too popular and social on weekends, I guess. Today Michael brought a topic to the table - the contrasting calcification of political beliefs between the left and right - and it almost lasted a full episode, so let's all give him a nice pat on the head. This episode's mistakes include: An unconscionably low level of hand washing and general hygiene. A tendency to not keep track of and return to important topics for rebuttal and conclusions, and not ju...
