The ListCast
We make lists... it's what we do.
Two buds dive deep into their memory banks and repeatedly go off tangent while attempting to construct the perfect top 10 list. There are ever changing rules and epic fails along the way. Think film, music, video games, and even mythical beasts. If you like nostalgia then you've come to the right place.
Top 10 collectibles
Collecting is on the addiction spectrum... but it's really fun! We dive into our clingy natures to discuss what we hold onto in the hopes that it'll somehow justify our existence on this Earth. So, we're talking Boglins, vinyl, sticker collections and even... sea junk!

Top 10 albums from our childhoods
Better late than never, we bring to you our favourite musical delights from a now very distant youth. With nostalgia responsible for some dubious choices, we bring the good, bad and ugly (we're looking at you Clock) to the surface of our consciousness. There are also some absolute bangers, from west coast rap to punk and metal - you're covered.

Top 10 Children's TV from the 90s
Remember that show about the boglin type creature who lived in a sandpit and granted wishes? Or the one about an Australian family living in a light house?
From The Psammead to Round the Twist, we recollect our fuzzy memories and take a trip back to the days of CITV and CBBC. When being blindfolded in a massive viking helmet and getting ordered to play video games by a grumpy old man was cool - kind of.

Top 10 Sitcoms
The situation comedy... whether friends quipping one-liners in an infuriatingly large New York flat, psychiatrist siblings sipping coffee in Seattle, downright vagrants hitting each other with frying pans in London, 15th century knights in a field, or even that classic case of men in the 70s and 80s sharing bedrooms, one thing is certain… we love em.
Join us as we talk jokes, settings and narrative with one sole purpose in mind - to generate the ultimate top 10 list!

Top 10 Biscuits
Everyone likes a sweet treat every now and then, and it's often more now than then... In this week's show we take you back to the days when such crumbly wonders were as exciting to look at as they were to eat. Yes, we're talking pink wafery things, miniature loaves of Hovis, and most importantly, how well each dunk into a traditional cup of English tea...
So get your old biscuit tin out of the loft, remove all the metal junk that's replaced the once sweet treats and instead prepare to fill it with memories of yore. We'll see you there.

Top 10 video game bosses!
In many ways life is made up of levels. How do we know this? Because there's always a boss to defeat. Maybe it's a presentation, maybe an exam, or maybe it's simply getting through an hour of Strictly Come Dancing while stuck at your parents.

Top 10 Cliffhangers.
Ever get that feeling the world's about to end and then it actually doesn't? Well, in this week's show we discuss cliffhangers as epic as Annalise and Mark's wedding in Neighbours, that time the Doc got struck by lightning and that other time in Antartica when Kurt Russell didn't know if that Alien was still living in his co-worker's body.
What happens next... you know what to do.
Top 10 Returns from the Dead!
We die. It's one of those truths you just can't hide from... or can you? In this pod we uncover the elixir of life, go deep into Ramsay Street's crooked past, praise the magic of 'dino DNA', bow to the world's greatest body armour, the bullet proof vest, and even get inside the mind of Alex and his love for portable hard drives.
With that said, let's live and let live!

10 reasons we hate Christmas.
It's that time of the year we fight with siblings, eat vegetables we don't like, and pretend that many years ago it would snow on Christmas Day. Well, if the thought of irritatingly chirpy songs on the radio fuels your contempt for fellow humans then you're in the right place.

What are the best childhood toys of all time?
