Hello mother and father, and welcome to the Four Lads And A Topic podcast - a show where four twenty-something year old lads thought it would be entertaining to take their bizarre discord debates and convert them into the most saturated medium of our generation - the podcast.

In each episode, the four lads tackle a specific topic with comedic tangents from one-armed koala bears to who contributed more: Falkland veterans or manufacturers in the North East.

Castaways.... the Four Lads are castaway....

Do any of the lads have what it takes to survive stranded on a desert island? That's the dilemma! Taking on the classic desert island discs format - each lad picks his favourite book, movie, and piece of music that they would take with them isolated on a tropical prison, then they try and survive...

Note: No Sea Turtles nor People were hurt in this discussion... despite the cannibalistic undertones.
