Episode 49 - Fish Food With further apologies for last week’s no-show, The Blueprint Podcast is back with episode 49. No Greg this week, but I hope you won’t mind spending a little time with just me instead. Quirkies this week include a convicted murderer in the US, who pulls an unusual series of mindflips by agreeing to be turned into fish food [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 48 - Frozen Monkeys Oops, sorry about being a bit late with getting this one online. You try telling my eight-year-old that he has to stop playing Star Wars Battlefront II in the middle of a crucial mission. That’s what was going on. And then the podcast’s database server seemed to be down for a bit. But finally, here it is. We [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 47 - The Incredible New Shmoo We never know which is the best way in which to open a new episode of The Blueprint Podcast, as the beginning of this one demonstrates. Greg likes to state the facts, and Chris likes to showboat like a 1980’s holiday disc jockey. Television animals get us started this week, before we move into cartoons, particularly [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 46 - Attention Seekers Hello, and welcome to episode 46 of The Blueprint Podcast, a podcast broadcasting from Hartlepool in the North East of England on a weekly basis, brought to you by Chris Wright and Greg Hildreth. In this episode, Greg contemplates a charity moustache, which leads to discussion of extreme martial arts-based attention seeking behaviour. Some people, of [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 45 - Glue Glue is a strange word. I’ve just been Googling it to look for interesting quotations about glue to use as a title for this week’s episode. There aren’t any. But now that I’ve been looking at the word “glue” for a few minutes, it strikes me as being an ugly word which would be much [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 44 - Brutal Pasta This episode starts off with some rather unlikely claims about the self flagellation methods of former British Prime Minister William Gladstone. Apparently, he used to whip himself on the back. He was a strange cookie in some respects, fair enough. But whether these acts of autobashing were executed using pasta has probably never been discussed before [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 43 - Two Northern Men Talking We’re back with episode 43 of The Blueprint Podcast. Sorry it’s gone online a little late in the day - it won’t happen again, but we hope you’ll forgive us as we have been out doing work for cherridy. Please remember to complete the Blueprint Podcast survey - it helps us to tailor the podcast to the people [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 42 - Custard Creams Have you got a loft, or attic at your place? If so, what have you got in there? Do you think you’ll ever really use any of it? We kick off the episode with talk of wasted real estate in our homes, but Greg soon finds the existence of revolving tables more interesting by half. We [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 41 - The Polite Fantastic Politeness. That’s what it’s all about, friends. Just be nice to people. It costs nothing, and maybe people in general will be a bit nicer to you if you are a bit nicer to them. Smile occasionally. Say “please” and “thank you”. Buy gifts, don’t steal, don’t lift. Twenty years of school and then they [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 40 - Allright, if you like that kind of thing Welcome back to The Blueprint Podcast, the podcast described by Podfinder UK as, “Allright, if you like that kind of thing” and “almost humourous”. Thanks for the review, though, it’s nice to be in your thoughts. In this episode, things get scary, as Greg reveals that he possibly believes in werewolves. We also visit a quirky [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 39 - Blueprint Coach Tours Presents This one starts off a bit nerdy, with one or two William Shatner impressions, and Greg tries to “out” Chris as a Star Trek nerd. Continental lager is explained, as are Denmark and Holland, with particular reference to Chris’s travels, which leads to a new business idea for Blueprint holiday coach trips. Impressions that everyone thinks they can [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 38 - Teatime for Democracy As the British summer lurches, stumbles and shuffles on with bouts of typically changeable British weather and all of Britain expresses surprise, despite this being the 20000th year in a row that this has happened, The Blueprint Podcast eschews meteorological talk in favour of the really important things. We kick off with some more-interesting-than-it-appears discussion on [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 37 - Especially For The Ladies This episode is going out to all the sweet ladies. At least it is at the start, but then we get into the politics of restaurants and dating and non-romantic eateries. Then we basically start having a go at cavemen for not being funny enough, before moving onto something else altogether. Remember Jaws? It was awesome, wasn’t it? [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 36 - Transexual Chips We’re having fun on this episode, and we hope that it’s infectious rather than annoying. Chris discovers that Greg can be made to laugh by exposing him to childish rude words, and obviously uses this new weapon to his advantage when possible. We find out about Chris’s daredevil onstage exploits in his younger days involving an [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 35 - Nuclear Autobahn! Welcome to the weekend, friends. As ever, we’ve scoured the world looking for the quirkiest and most mind-boggling stories, eithout even knowing what “boggling”really means. How do you “boggle” something, really? No, really, have you ever used that word without prefacing it with “mind”? No, you haven’t. You don’t foot boggle, you don’t arm boggle, [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 34 - Doctor Goldfish vs Bongo Langford We’re back with another Blueprint Podcast. As warm weather makes a welcome appearance in the British Isles, we’re in fine fettle and raring to bring you more quirky news and chat. From Bonnie Langford to a man who claims to be able to train a goldfish, this episode covers all of the topics that we’re sure [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 33 - Talking Wheelie Bin Fascism Blues Part Two Welcome back to part two of our two-part examination of how it’s possible to weave fascism into talk of wheelie bins.

In this first part, we kick off by talking about old audio cassettes. You know, C60, C90 and all that, and bemoan the very existence of the C15, which [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 31 - Sexy Planet of the Apes It’s Friday again, and time for another meandering stroll through a roughly hacked cross-section of the world with The Blueprint. In this episode, we dive into a packed agenda with rapid-fire discussion of hot topics like tiddly winks, puppets, cartoons, and of course magpies. These are the things that the world is worrying about these days. Greg sings Carpenters’ [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 30 - They Love It Really Eternally fascinated by outmoded or controversial viewpoints, Chris and Greg once again search in vain for the elusive unassailable ethical stance on the subjects of sexism, killing for kicks, and patronising visiting tribespeople, whilst examining worldwide usage of the word “nobhead”. With certain builders being banned from wolf-whistling at passing women, while tourists go on holidays [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 29 - Pontius the Radioactive Wombat As promised, we’re being a lot more conscientious with our podcasting, and episode 29 is here but one week from the last one. We’re going to be good now, honest, no more big gaps.  In this episode, we span the enormous land mass of conversation which exists between how children speak in groups, encompasses almost all [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 28 - The Terence Trent Derby With sincere apologies for the gap between episodes, we return with episode 28 of the podcast that the world is calling “an audio podcast from Hartlepool”. Greg’s got a bee in his bonnet about 1980s pop singer Terence Trent D’Arby and his egomaniacal ways, and we also tackle the minefield of Internet games based on naked [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 27 - We Hate Ourselves This episode takes a definite turn towards zaniness, or possibly even wackiousity. We’re fully aware of the irony following our last episode and its railings against such behaviour. But hey, we’re nothing if not inconsistent. We take on a breakneck and dare we say rollercoaster ride through a range of subjects in this one, including a [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 26 - Hate for the Zany Another episode of The Blueprint Podcast, the premier amusing banter outlet from the North of England, and we’ve got a lot to talk about.

In Episode 25, we explore the uniquely bizarre relationship between a woman and her psychic, chick eating, seaside loving, motorcycling pet frog, as well as the alarming frequency with which ex-mice are appearing in the gastronomical world. We also investigate the future of musical street combat as well as a light hearted look at those [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 24 - The Road to Rendition In this episode, we are not only brimming with witty banter, but The Blueprint Podcast has something of an exclusive about the John Darwin canoe affair. It seems that the Panama estate agent from whom the Darwins planned to buy a home is keen to make some opportunist cash from the story, to the extent [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 23 - You Can’t Have Your Kayak and Eat It Okay, form a queue, yeah, cheers, thanks, okay, one at a time, back off, your turn in a minute.

Astonishing Airwolf facts abound. We also find arguably the most ridiculous news story we’ve found so far right on our doorstep in the Blueprint hometown of Hartlepool. Basically the meat [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 21 - Dave Mosley Don’t worry, you aren’t confused or involved in some sort of time travel adventure. Dave Mosley is the elder brother of Paul Mosley, who joined us in episode 17. Now it’s Dave’s turn to show us his stuff. He doesn’t let us down, either! No fewer than three songs, including a rather amusing cover of Rhinestone [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 20 - Goths and Streakers In Episode 20 of the Blueprint Podcast, we explore some of the more unusual choices that humans make, including the choice to express one’s uniqueness by dressing the same as loads of other people, and the choice to not wear anything at all at genteel sporting events. Greg gets assertive with some comedy gig spoilers, and [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 19 - Naked Sleepwalking In episode 19 of The Blueprint Podcast, we discuss the evil of tinned vegetables, baked beans, the true identity of bananas (it turns out theat they are technically both a fruit and a herb), the TV mini series V, former celebrity Richard Blackwood, weeing in shoes, naked sleepwalking, police intervention into Hallowe’en fun, and the [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 18 - Crim Tats In Episode 18, we discuss such hot potatoes as Buddhism, evil tattoos, horticultural convicts and we investigate how a lady in India managed to get her toothbrush lodged inside her nose.

With people claiming that simply hiding in a shopping centre for a bit is a commentary on consumerism, or that a peacock attacking a car is conclusive proof that said peacock is gay, it’s no wonder. It’s increasingly clear that the boundaries between [...] Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 15 - The Blueprint Aeroplanes Greg’s back from his sojourn in Greece, and he has tales to tell of his adventures. Chris hasn’t been anywhere, but he still has tales to tell of the excitement which can unfold in one’s own home if wildlife gets in.

Previously only known as an admittedly very personable TV presenter, he is now a national treasure and super hero. This episode is dedicated to Hamster, and the Hamster we all hope is within us. Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Episode 11 - Carry On Blueprint FOR SOME REASON, Chris and Greg’s senses of humour slipped back through some sort of time warp this week, and the podcast occasionally descends into what podcasts would have sounded like in the mid to late 1970’s.
