This club was my life - LIVE Podcast with Phil Saunders. Episode 41

To preface this conversation, Phil Saunders wrote a fantastic book about the history of alternative club nights in the North East of England.

We decided to do a live podcast on the launch night, there's some stuff we had to cut out, other names and venues we had to bleep so we don't get sued.

I think it's a really fun conversation, and nice to have some audience participation too!

Phils book is available from HERE

RBTV #26 - Mayoral candidate Andy Preston

Hi! In this episode of RBTV I got in way over my head and had a chat with Andy Preston about local politics.

I initially wanted to talk to him about the potential ramifications of using social media in politics, how it can go badly and how it can be used to create an overall transparency through local government, and that's pretty much what we discussed.

I'll leave it to you to form your own opinions on what we covered. Thanks for listening!

RBTV #23 - Harley Flanagan Bonus Episode

A few years ago I used to write a monthly article for BJJ style all about being a white-belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. For one of these episodes I had the pleasure of interviewing Harley Flanagan.

A Black Belt under Renzo Gracie and founder of the Cro-Mags. It was a phone interview that was never really intended to be aired, but it's pretty funny and seemed a shame for it to go to waste. I've done what I can to clean up the interview. Enjoy!

Episode 15 - Split Screen Podcast w/Shaun & Jonny

So, Shaun & Jonny came to me with an interesting idea after listening to a previous podcast about Screenwriting. We decided to pick a current film: Annihalation(2018) Dir. Alex Garland and a film that it was heavily influenced by: Stalker(1979) Dir. Andrei Tarkovsky, and talk about how they compare, and generally geeked out about films for the hour. If you haven't seen either of them, then I wouldn't worry too much, although you'll probably want to by the end of the podcast. Thanks for listening! Any future film suggestions, let us know as we'll definitely be doing this again. Video: https://youtu.be/z2gkBkEyWUI As always, a big thanks to Jamie Donnelly for the audio post - production. https://www.facebook.com/jampottt/ https://www.facebook.com/RBTVPodcast/

RBTV Episode 14 - Touchdowns & Takedowns with Darlington Steam AFC

I was fortunate enough to have Matty, Rob & Jonny from Darlington Steam American Football club join me on the podcast a week or so ago and talk about all these American Football! Super interesting learning how they got involved and the trials & tribulations of setting up and playing American Football in England. I had a lot of fun talking to them. I had some issues with the recording so can't thank Jamie Donnelly (https://www.facebook.com/jampottt) enough for his help cleaning it up. Also, big thanks to tenfeettall.co.uk for the room. Good people doing good things. Enjoy!

Apr 23, 201801:04:08

RBTV Episode 13 - Me, Myself & I

So, I decided to go solo for this one. Had a podcast guest cancel on me and I'd half built my studio, so I thought I'd see if I can knock out twenty minutes about the upcoming UFC card. Enjoy!
