Ep. 7: How all sort of things are made & murdhered

This week we were joined by Rapture Ponies, winner of last year’s Best Pop Culture Blog in the 2009 Irish Blog Awards. This lady knows her pop culture, TV included and was great fun besides. I was delighted to meet someone who shared my LOVE of “How it’s made” – go on click the link, get your fill. So thanks a million Rapture you were brillo!

Just in case you are wondering about the tardiness of this cast I had a week from hell since this as my computer went belly up. I never realised I needed so much software to make this happen but there you go.

01m 19s Rosemary‘s weekly TV News Roundup kicks off with the Big Brothewir Blast! Rosemary pips either Sophie or Charlie to win. I’m shocked that Big Brother broke the rules and gave the howsemaytes magazines. In other news the line-up for Strictly Come Dancing has been announced and includes Natalie Cassidy of Eastenders fame, Jo Wood who is Ronnie’s ex (??? I have no idea either but I was neither nominated for (Rosemary) nor awarded (Rapture) a Pop Culture gong) and Martina Hingis of tennis fame. In other news, X-Factor has restarted and apparently people are none

08m 24s Rapture Ponies talks Harpers Island which sounds extremely gory and as I comment at 12m11s sounds a bit like Twin Peaks. I think my gushing about Special Agent Dale Cooper happened before we started recording. The horror on the faces of the younger ladies when they realised who I was talking about… Sigh.

14m 57s My next choice of telly viewing I was reaching way too low agewise for the ladies or maybe I was just getting up too early. Subjected as I am to children’s TV of a Saturday and Sunday morning I sometimes put the foot down and say “No more Peppa Pig or In the Night Garden, no more. Let’s watch the Penguins of Madagascar!” Love it!

17m 50s Myself and Rapture discovered a shared televisual love in “How It’s Made”. Rapture gets rapturous about it here.

22m 35s We agree that we don’t like “How do they do that” half as much.

23m 45s Rapture outdid herself on the research putting us to shame. She also watched Underage and Pregnant and one of her comments resulted gales of laughter at 25m11s. Pros to the bitter end.

27m51s Two programmes whose names we are unsure of but may have been called respectively Britain’s Greatest Breastfeeders and Largest C**ks (The podcast is marked explicit) get a mention. Classy

29m 45s There’s a brief chat about the CSI Experience currently ongoing in Dublin (mentioned last week also)
