The Podcast Nobody Asked For
@thepodcastnobodyaskedfor.co.uk
An award nominated Movie and TV podcast where two friends argue about a Top 3 list of a topic that nobody asked them to talk about. We also remind you that you should watch Ari Aster’s Midsommar.
Scheduling is hard.
So for the first time ever, Graham has gone rogue and recorded a solo episode. No Ian. No safety net. Just pure, unfiltered Grahamness tackling the saddest topic imaginable.
Pray for him. Or don’t. He’s already done it.

In a special episode of the podcast this week, rather than a Top 3 list, we’re instead climbing all 4,413 feet of Ben Nevis (which is roughly the height of 769 Chidi from the Good Places). Expect a woman probably not called Barbara, a Firefighter from Tenby and it levelling out soon.

This week we are breaking from our usually scheduled programming to regale you with the story of how we climbed a mountain. A story that includes the highest podcast recording in the country, Fitbit notifications and a failed recording in a hotel room

This week’s episode is what can only be described as too adorable. Graham asked his 2-year-old son and Ian asked his 3-year-old nephew to pick their favourite TV shows. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect hoarding rubber eggs, Butter Babe Graham and Hell's ambassador to France.

When we started this podcast nearly 5 years ago we never thought we’d be in a position to do a live show. Thanks to everyone who’s listened, shared, argued with our picks, or just put up with us along the way, we genuinely wouldn’t be here without you. Come watch us make bad decisions on stage

In what may be our most adorable episode yet, this week we outsourced our picks to Graham’s 2 year old son and Ian’s 3 year old nephew. Turns out they’re into some pretty weird things.
