Where should you turn when faced with a big, philosophical question? The internet, of course. Half philosophy, one third “jokes”, one twelfth science, one twelfth politics, and 100% carefully calculated fractions. That’s the Deep Fought Promise!

Episode 66: Zero Hour

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 animal references appear coincidental.
  • Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 65: Cheque Please

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 questions of mortality.
  • Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 64: Swear On Your Life

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.

Episode 63: Almost Famous

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.
  • Surprisingly uninteresting mistakes in this bullet list.
  • Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 62: Firm Beliefs

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 just in the normal way.
  • A general aural sense that one side of the conversation was recorded through a mattress.
  • Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 61: Deep Waters

Well, forewarning, this one got a little heavy in the middle. Thankfully, it's bookended by some grade A hijinks, and possibly even some shenanigans. This episode's mistakes include:

  • The audible consumption of strudel at the start of the episode.
  • Serious subject matter that doesn't lend itself to much humour for a while.
  • Forgetting to thank this week's sponsor, Nanna Pat's Rat Poison™. Nanna Pat's Rat Poison™: For When You Have Too Many Rats.
  • Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 60: Guys’ Choice

Greetings, and welcome back to a bombastic, sixtiversary edition of the podcast. It's been a pleasure to have you along for the ride, and while we didn't get our celebratory suits out again for the record, we did manage to make it special for reasons that will become clear early on. This episode's mistakes include:

  • Interesting audio challenges associated with this particular setup after forgetting how it was done.
  • Didn't thank our sponsor, George Clooney's Science News Presents: Spike TV's Guys' Choice Awards 2016.
  • Going too long, necessitating some seamless, invisible edits by our crack production team.
  • Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 59: Just Not Feeling It

Hey hey hey, and welcome back to an eclectic audio experience on this beautiful winter's eve. Today's topics include numbers and if they exist (briefly), the New York Times' relationship quiz, and some deep emotions. We're all over the place. This episode's mistakes include:

  • Wasting a good twelve minutes on a topic we couldn't say anything interesting about (don't worry, I edited it out).
  • Recording one side of the audio in a crowded vegetable market.
  • Forgetting to include the jingle.
  • Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 58: Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong

Hey baby. What's up? Look, Michael wanted me to put this up straight away and so if I'm totally honest I'm still kinda intoxicated. This may have had a detrimental effect on the podcast quality. This episode's mistakes include:

  • Uploading while under the influence, and thus not expending the same "quality" "control" as per usual.
  • Lots of Radiohead talk, lots of dating talk (?).
  • Look, sometimes writing these things is harder than you'd think.
  • Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Episode 57: The (Late Night) Environment

Just saying it up front, this episode was hard work to edit so I'd appreciate a little appreciation. In this wide-ranging episode, we talk global warming and what we're actually doing to stop it, as well as politics, late night TV hosts and the evolution of cattle. This episode's mistakes include:

  • Trusting Skype to have a decent connection and audio quality, necessitating a mid-show swap to FaceTime.
  • Insulting our only fans, the Spanish spambots that liked our Facebook post.
  • Not having our special celebrity guest join in on the actual discussion... or did he?
  • Egregious factual inaccuracies.
