Neil & Gareth's Podcast
Digital pop culture comedy with 2 hapless animation graduates
Episode 006: Wrong Angle
After a protracted break, Episode 6 of the Neil & Gareth Podcast goes live. We actually recorded this show aaaages ago, so it is in no way topical! Sure is long, though!
In this episode, Neil & Gareth wonder which Hogwarts house they would be sorted into, Gareth takes an ill-advised trudge into the shady world of free-to-play MMORPGs, and Neil accuses Gareth of becoming that most stigmatized and loathed member of society- a “Brony”, with explosive results. Also discussion of the Sonic the Hedgehog fan-film and a follow-up to last podcast’s much hyped Pokémon tournament with returning Friend/only listener of the Show Chris Seed

Episode 005: Nobody Knows
In this marathon episode, we’re joined by our good friend and all-around-good-egg (not to mention our probable only listener) Mr. Chris Seed!
We discuss the effort/reward ratios of various citrus fruits, Neil reviews Portal 2 and Gareth sails further into the realms of JRPG overdose trying to get his hands on a copy of Tales of Vesperia. Also, we reveal some of our personal in-jokes, in a pathetic attempt to escalate them to internet meme status.
Show notes
-check out the visual feast of Sonic Gear here!
-the genesis of “No, no…it wasn’t”
-Though we don’t mention it in the show, guest Chris Seed’s graduate film 3hirty 6ix is always worth a look if you haven’t seen it!
Episode 004: The Memo
This time around, Gareth and I narrowly escape the shambling overused hordes of the undead. Clearly we haven’t yet received “The Memo”…
In this episode, Gareth makes some recommendations for top Zombie media, We consider our first brushes with the internet, and Neil falls off the wagon and takes up Pokémon once more…

Episode 003: Troll n’ Run
Coming not-at-all live from a fictitious cave in Minecraft, Gareth & Neil present their delicious 3rd episode! Fighting games rock the Games section, with Gareth reviewing hot new release Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and Neil pretending talking about Dragonball Z counts as a game review. Gareth considers a new career path as a professional Troll, while Neil takes us perhaps a little too far into the melancholy world of his ancient blog- all this and more in episode 3!
Episode 002: Who’s That Pokémon?
In this episode of the ongoing shamblefactory, Neil & Gareth discuss new Pokémon, Jelly belly beans and potential Inception merchandise. In addition to the usual internet and video game features, we also introduce a a new segment: The Unemployment Watch!
Episode 001: We All Scream
We begin our first episode proper from my workplace- the inimitable Pizza Hut! In this episode Gareth introduces us through the medium of “live browsing” to the scary world of Cammyfan. The games section has a distinct JRPG flavour, with Final Fantasy xiii and Dragon Quest ix up for discussion, and Neil tells an ill-advised anecdote from his exciting life as a professional pizza man.
Episode 000: Lusty creeps
Our first attempt at podcasting the show is predictably ramshackle- but perhaps an interesting listening curio! This show included discussion of the film “Inception”. “Dwarf Fortress” and “Buzz! Quiz World” featured in the first ever games section. We spend 10 minutes straight talking about Ninja Turtles and then reveal the crazy world of internet sensation “Waluigi’s Girl”.
Oh, and why Lusty Creeps as a title? It was a throwaway comment Gareth made during the recording that i neglected to include! First lesson of podcasting learned!
