Latest Podcast: Brown footers and blind gunslingers (show notes)

Post categories: ,Ìý

Here are the notes for our latest talk show - number 63. You can listen on the site, download it or subscribe to it as a podcast.

In the show, Mat explains in graphic detail what makes him a brown footer. Yes it's pretty dodgy as you might have guessed, so don't listen if your stomach is easily turned.

Newshound Rob Crossan speaks of his Namibian jackal shooting experience. Why? It was off the back of an interesting story about blind people being able to use a gun with laser sights in Louisiana thanks to a new law.

And Swindon's very own singer, songwriter and CP'er Mike Oliver treats us all to some top notch live music. The 18 year-old college student tells us about his first band, the PI's, or the physically impaireds; its members all came from the disability unit at his school. Well worth listening to, producer Damon is still laughing about it now.

Off air, Mat described Mike's voice as Morrissey meets Alison Moyet. We were all impressed with him.

A transcript of this show will be available from here shortly.

Future stuff: You might be interested to know that we have a teenage special of the Ouch! Talk Show coming up in early March. And in February, we'll be discussing starting your own business and carers who you fall in love with (gulp).

    I was thinking you should have some sort of superfriends type thing quiz one day,invite me to compete against Mat and someone to compete against Liz. If Liz or Mat win, they get something that me and the other person has brought from their house , and if me or the other person wins, we get something from Mat and Liz. Rob would be compere, and the quiz would be disability themed!

    Ha! ha!
