Attic Life: Episode 4 - Gambling and Britain

On the latest Attic Life pod, Chris discusses gambling. Who among us doesn't buy the odd Lotto ticket or has a flutter on the Grand National every once in a while?

Gambling is everywhere, but how much we're affected by it or are influenced by it depends on who you are and your personal circumstances. Attic Life looks at gambling and wonders whether more needs to be done to protect the vulnerable from the lure of enormous riches...

And speaking of riches, Rich is on hand to talk about Britain. And England. Hell, let's just call it Brengland! What does it mean to be British these days, and is it possible to feel pride at being British? Does the whole world hate Britain, or are the Brits suffering from a persecution complex based on centuries of brutal global colonisation?

As ever, you can count on Attic Life to get to the bottom of this and other matters, so why not listen in and form your own opinions? Attic Life Episode 4 can be downloaded via this link, or via iTunes. As ever, we warmly welcome your comments on the subjects discussed and we look forward to hearing from you.

Attic Life: Episode 3 - Shopping and Getting Older

It was Benjamin Franklin who once said "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes" but to those you can also add 'shopping' and 'getting older.'

As luck would have it, those are the exact two subjects that are discussed on episode 3 of Attic Life ('death' and 'taxes' coming up on a future podcast, no doubt...)

During this edition, Chris talks about how our regular trips to the corner shop have transformed into a pilgrimage to the out-of-town meccas of Tesco, Sainsburys et al. But how much have we changed as people, along with the supermarkets themselves? Chris checks out life at the checkouts...

As for Rich, he's content just to note the passing of time - and the derogatory effect it's had on his body. Fortunately his mind remains intact and willing to believe he's still 22. Is it a common phenomenon for people aged 40 or over, or are your co-hosts just desperate to retain their coolness?

These and other questions are answered in Attic Life Episode 3 which you can download via this link, or via iTunes. As ever, we invite you to let us know what you think about the subjects discussed on this podcast and we look forward to hearing from you.
