Deep Fought

Episode 93: Jordan Peterson, For One Night Only

Good morning! Join us for our longest episode ever as we deep dive into psychologist slash philosopher Jordan Peterson. Why has he built such a following with straight white men, and are any of his positions problematic? We actually talk about it (shocker, I know). This episode's mistakes include:
Longest episode ever - but we stay on topic, so...?
Better Michael audio but the odd electric hum.
Telling you all to stay frosty and then not reading an excerpt from the book.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 92: Be Good

We're keeping this hot streak going with another episode in quick succession. On today's show, we discuss whether there is such a thing as objective morality in the universe, or if it's just a human construct. Plus, Sultana Bran, so something for everyone. This episode's mistakes include:
Not discussing our intended gags before starting the show.
Escalating the scale of the discussion from a manageable size to literally encompassing all possible universes.
Some audio niggles here and there, but what's new?
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 91: Public Property

Just in time for the weekend, it's another episode of The Podcast™. This week, Michael takes his shirt off, Nick discovers fun facts, and we eventually talk about how long it should take before art enters the public domain. This episode's mistakes include:
Repeated evidence of Michael's microphone brushing against his beard.
A bit of a rolling start before we get into the meat of the discussion.
An unfair amount of catchy jingles and earworms.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 90: Discipline

Happy four year anniversay, Deef-heads! That's the new name I'm trying out for our fanbase. Or maybe Deefans? Pronounced like "defence"? Look, I was going to leave it to you to organically create but you've been a bit slack. This episode features a few exciting tests, some discussion of self-control, and more miscellany. Thanks for listening for all these years, if that's indeed the case with you. This episode's mistakes include:
Minimal reference to the ninetyversary, and too much reference to the centiversary.
Some sporadic topic jumps, but at least now we know why.
One story that we had to excise for everyone's sake.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 89: Into The Wild

We're back with some survival tips, so I hope you find yourself in a disastrous situation soon and get the opportunity to use them. A Desert Island Discs discussion quickly derails into talk of soap, Segways and business ideas. This episode's mistakes include:
Wavering audio levels due to Michael microphone issues.
Wavering attention on the topic at hand, but what's new?
Irresponsible aggrandisement of desert island living.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 88: Pop The Question

Hello fellow humans! Lovely to see you here, eager to consume some quality podcasting entertainment. We've harvested some organic, handmade audio for you this week, fresh off the farm, delivered straight to you. We're talking a grab bag of interesting topics, from virtual reality to marriage proposals, so there's something for everyone. This episode's mistakes include:
Non-traditional structure.
Michael is sick and coughs and sniffs sometimes.
Podcast hosts were genetically modified.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 87: Justice League

Bon été, mes amis. Hope this week sees you relaxed and rejuvenated. On this week's podcast, we're talking about the justice system and criminal punishment - is incarceration the best way to treat the convicted? But we wend our way there via a few other interesting things, so stick around. This episode's mistakes include:
Several good visual gags that don't get translated in an audio medium.
A bit of tonal whiplash here and there.
Chickens.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 86: Typing Test

Good evening, and welcome to a fun interactive episode of Deep Fought. We're back in different countries and thought this would be the perfect time to take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test. Finally, our flaws will be made visible. This episode's mistakes include:
A bit longer than usual but there were lots of fun bits I didn't want to cut out, so...
Some audio glitches from a bit of a bastard record session.
No DNA evidence for ancestry claims.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 85: Personnel Review

Happy New Year everyone! We made sure to sit down in the same room one more time while we were in the same country/city etc. and record an extra podcast. As tends to happen on these dates, we were feeling reflective and looked back at 2017 for ourselves and the world at large. But we also explore how to maintain passions and interests as you grow older. This episode's mistakes include:
Some varying audio due to proximity, but that's to be expected. And a hairdryer.
A little bit of a low energy start until the No-Doz kicks in.
A misunderstanding of the economics of magazine criticism.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 84: A History Of Violence

It's a Christmas miracle! Or at least a present. Either way, new episode, filmed live, in person and outside here in lovely, summery Adelaide. This week we're following up on an important revelation from last episode, plus debut a brand new paid Deep Fought service for devoted fans. This episode's mistakes include:
Some audio niggles here and there, including background birds (but it's pretty good for a live one, actually).
Free flow between topics, and yet no mention of alien revelations.
No jingle for a deserving segment.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 83: Art Versus Artist

Bonjour, and voila: another podcast. We're back with a follow-up to our last podcast in the wake of further sexual assault allegations towards many men of entertainment and politics. This time, we're taking a bit of a wider look at how we should feel about the art and work of these people in the wake of their bad behaviour. This episode's mistakes include:
No advance warning for that story. You'll know it.
Not much fun and games at the end, but there's enough at the start, right?
Not exploring in detail some intriguing revelations.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 82: Men And Women

Hello everyone. We're back this week with a deep dive into all the horrible sexual assault news, and the surrounding culture. It's an episode of self-analysis and exploration of male behaviour, and hopefully the end result is a somewhat nuanced look at complex issues with a changing of some opinions. Please consider this a trigger warning for anyone sensitive to these topics.
This episode's mistakes include:
Not having a woman present to provide a valuable alternative perspective.
Not fully exploring all issues mentioned in suitable depth, nor presenting arguments in the most coherent way.
Some poor audio mixing as per usual.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.
Donate to Lifeline. Call 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) if you have experienced, or are at risk of, sexual assault.

Episode 81: Chip Off The Old Block

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 factual inaccuracies.

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.

Jumping between plenty of topics in excitement to be podcasting again.

Not being about anything.

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 tray style grab bag of different topics and segments.
Too many chocolate analogies in the podcast notes.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 76: Dad, Don't Listen To This One

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 anything.
Teaser of a sequel that wasn't recorded.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 75: The Honeymoon Smugtacular

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.

Episode 74: The Shlim Kaks Quarter Pounder

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.
Egregious factual inaccuracies.
