Talking Bollox Podcast

Terence is in a rage against a local festival that has ruined his week, and Calvin has some issues with the gentrification of place names in the inner city. Calvin is left baffled by Terence's bizarrely in depth knowledge of animals who have worked as spies, and a story of a pigeon that is too good to be true. There's some discussion of the recent controversy at RTE - and Terence makes the case for refusing nothing in life but a clatter. The thesaurus fellas make an effort to expand vocabulary, from German shepherds, to red sauce and sofas.

Terence sees the vast potential in the powers of teleportation (of others), Calvin has big questions about strange names, a listener challenges the lads to consider which animal they would stand the best chance with in a fight, and the lads weigh up which fictional movie character they'd choose to live the rest of their days as.

Christy Dignam is one of the legends of Irish life, and his experiences have given him an incredible insight into far more than just the music business. We've had Christy on the show back in the early days and we felt there was a lot more to talk about so we asked him to join us again. We talked about everything from his battles with addiction, to Aslan's plane crash, to the allures of gangland and drug crime for young people in Ireland today, the hoodie v jumper debate, and Christy's bucket list. And Christy weighs in on the Beatles V Oasis debate. And to wrap it all up, he belted out a couple of songs in the studio. This one was an experience from start to finish!

It's a Talking Bollox Christmas special this week, with the two lads sitting down to talk about their Christmas traditions and a few other things that come to mind over the festive season. Plus there's plenty of questions from listeners answered, and Terence reveals his newfound dream to become a star of the big screen.
