Miss China United Kingdom Pageant - Wikicast 070

The boys discover a Chinese bot conspiracy on wikipedia? Or possibly read too much into some edit history. Also we both lose it at different times in the episode this time, and we experience possibly the most fundamental change in the history of the show... It's the Wikicast!

Macropetalichthys - Wikicast 069 (with Pixel Girl!)

It's a very special episode. We are joined by Simon's girlfriend Pixel Girl! We talk about your school stories, review the Mandalorian, wonder how Pixel Girl puts up with Simon, and some truths about their relationship come to light... Oh and an armoured fish. Or something. For like ten seconds.

Mr. Men - Wikicast 068

Eyyy-eyyyy!

Transylvania, Louisiana - Wikicast 067

Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the airwaves, Simon and Dan come crashing back with a whole new hour of pseudo-content. How many Gs do you pull on a Milton Keynes roundabout? How hammered should you be to watch Cats (2019)? Was there a college of vampires in Kentucky? We ask all these questions and more in the brand new run of the Wikicast!

Whitespotted toadfish - Wikicast 066

Episode 66.2 really, after Simon accidentally deleted his recording of 66.1...

After an (explained) absence, the boys get possibly their shortest article yet and so fill you in on what's been going on in their lives: working with 900K+ YouTubers, Katy Perry orgasming, and learning about the benthiccc zone!

Leave us a review on iTunes if you have a moment: we'll read the best ones out next episode! https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-wikicast/id1256465047

Balanchine (horse race) - Wikicast 065

The boys are back after their summer break, and they are BURSTING with things to talk about. Horse racing! Singing! World of Warcraft! The Wurzels!

Strap yourself in for an hour of tangents, diversions, and occasionally a bit of learning. It's good to be back :) Let us know if you'd like to see us play some World of Warcraft!

St Patrick’s Purgatory - Wikicast 064

Dan and Simon gaze deeply into St Patrick's hole. If you have a site of historical importance near you, please do email in! We want to hear all about your local history, and bonus points if you send us a photo of you listening to the podcast (or in Wikicast gear) at said site! Also please do guess what Dan's riddle is all about. Because Simon is a bit confuzzled.

Also it's our two year anniversary!! Thank you for putting up with us for so long, you guys rule. We totally remembered that it was our anniversary from the very start of the episode, as per...

The Whole Town’s Talking - Wikicast 063

Blowie. Exeter. Confession. Hoooo boy.

Dan and Simon chat about old films and get caught in a wiki closed loop, the podcast loses some weight, we have yet more talents showcased from the readership, including some fantastic fan fiction! Also, we close out with some beautiful music from the University of Exeter Chapel Choir. Let us know what you think about the new structure!

Also please do send us your confessions for confession corner, poster photoshops (it doesn't have to be The Goonies!), and any and all hidden talents you may have!

2001–02 Nashville Predators season - Wikicast 061

A shambolic season from an ice hockey team with an unfortunately named stadium... The boys are back, talking about their sporting prowess, recent TV favourites, and trial out a new corner. Send you confessions in - you get an absolution! You get an absolution! EVERYONE GETS AN ABSOLUTION!
