Don't Pick Your Nose and Taste Test
The Variety Show
08/04/24 • 53 min
In this episode of the Variety Show Podcast:
T's been watching YouTube Kids again
Every now and then, the kids get to watch YouTube Kids and guess what, it's not always good. Rob, overhears something and wants Tom to confirm that indeed, it sounds ruder than it actually was. It's Heart radio all over again!
Temu Wins
Tom has been wasting money on Temu but insists, it's actually really good. Why don't you decide? Tangents then happen and the boys get ranting about TikTok, Facebook and X fake advertising of products.
Taste Testing to the max
Tom makes Rob taste test a dodgy branded beer before getting hyped on sugar. Today the boys test out:
- Sunkist Mango Orange
- Fanta Tropical (foreign)
- Coke Spiced
- Tango Cherry and Raspberry Blast
Without ruining it, there are some pretty bad scores coming your way,

Do You Remember Ranting?
The Variety Show
09/01/24 • 66 min
In this fine episode of The Variety Show podcast:
Ranting
Should family pools be warm or cold? Should Curry’s look at its hiring policy and ban Pringles?
Socks
Toms wife thinks he’s a freak for how he takes his socks off, do you agree?
Do You Remember
Another trip to the memory vaults for Tom and Rob, who will walk away with a prize? Prison Pigeon also turns up and makes things miserable as normal.
Taste Test
A random dig in the bag of goodness before tasting the dirty blue Pepsi. I think you can tell where the scores are heading already.

Rambling while rambling... 1994
The Variety Show
07/31/24 • 21 min
This is a bit of a test episode so please do give us feedback using the details below. These little walks will see me drawing a year out of a hat and then choosing my favourite:
- TV
- Film
- Music
- Game
This is all, 100% opinion so please share your thoughts too.
Rambling about 1994
Out of the hat today was the year 1994. Today I discuss Green Day and their best album, Michael Crichton and his amazing medical drama, why I hate one of the 'best' British film comedies and finally, why I love a certain driving game from the Arcade.

Painting your Bedroom Purple leads to Divorce
The Variety Show
07/21/24 • 73 min
In this episode of the Variety Show Podcast:
Bad Luck
Tom, according to Rob, is a Psychopath because he opens things from the bottom and not the top. The boys do a quick dive in to what they know about bad luck, before seeing if Rob can identify 'real' bad luck situations from around the world.
Tarot
Remember that thing Rob did for Halloween? Yes, Tarot reading and it's about time he makes use of his new skill. Tom wants a Tarot reading and it leads to some uncomfortable truths.
Ghost Hunting in Peterborough
Thanks to Paul Gannon (CheapShow, I ain't afraid of no ghosts etc), Tom and Rob were invited on a true to life, serious Ghost Hunt at Peterborough museum. With celebrity guests including Mr Biffo and Sanja, Stuart Ashens and Ryan Livermore, the boys do their best to find ghostly goings on.
Our video will be out in about two weeks times from release of this episode (21st July). If you would like to see an incredibly good film from the weekend, check out Digitser over on YouTube where their latest video is now live:

Variety Show - The Great Big Christmas Special.. Fail?
The Variety Show
12/22/23 • 64 min
I think we salvaged this. Somewhat. Merry Christmas to everyone! Enjoy the boys swapping gifts and then getting involved in something that neither of us agreed to.
Thank you to everyone that got involved.
We'll be back in the new year with some new ideas and hopefully a bigger audience. A small recovery is needed.
