Attic Life: Episode 7 - Such is life

John Devlin joins the Attic Life gang for episode 7, but unfortunately for him we didn't end up talking about poor customer service and entering competitions again. This time around, things got a bit heavy as we talked about work - specifically what happens when you're suddenly out of work.

That's the fate that now awaits one of us, and the whole sorry affair is discussed in great detail in this episode. But if you're thinking this is going to be a relentlessly downbeat podcast, fear not as Rich has thought of a wonderful way to generate some personal income. Interested parties should listen in and drop us a line where appropriate...

Elsewhere, we find out what happens when a plumber turns his career path around by 180% and the consequences that impact the poor guy whose job it is to design his website. If only we knew who that was...

As ever, your feedback is appreciated, so please feel free to drop us a line in below. Enjoy...

Attic Life: Episode 6 - Points of Ingress

Three years is quite long enough to have a break between podcast episodes, wouldn't you say?

Yes, Attic Life is back - rebooted, simplified and now with added guests! For episode 6, we've roped in our old friend Jay from DesignFootball.com, but if you're not into football, fear not. This is Attic Life, the podcast where football barely gets a look in.

That's because we have weightier matters to discuss. For instance, what makes a great musical cover version? Why does cluster fly terminology make for a great album title? And is it possible to win a competition when the prize doesn't technically exist?

Not everything in Attic Life poses such a challenge for the mind as we also discuss everything from dishwashers to incomplete McChicken sandwiches. And if you're wondering how all these things could possibly be connected, there's only one thing left to do, and that's to download the returning Attic Life - episode 6 - right now.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated...

Attic Life: Episode 5 - Parenting and Swearing

Parenting and Swearing - two things that go together like... parenting and swearing.

These are the two subjects discussed in our latest Attic Life podcast which, you should be warned, contains one or two swear words. Apologies in advance for that, but, well... f**k you.

Just joking, of course. We begin by expressing our thoughts on what it's like to be a parent, whether it's better to have kids when you're older or younger, and whether there's really anything you can do to be a better parent before the reality of it all sets in.

After that, it's onto swearing - an activity many of us engage in, but can you have too much of a good thing? When does swearing stop being funny and turn into monotonous, inane rubbish? We look at the words we say, the way we say them and the situations when swearing simply isn't the done thing...

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.
