Off Piste Podcast

Veteran listeners of Off Piste may remember one of the earliest episodes we did where we each swapped one character in one fictional universe with one from another universe. Yeah, well, we're doing that again BUT THIS TIME we're confining swap choices to only characters portrayed by the same actor! And we're not sticking to one swap each, we're just blasting them out left, right and centre. So join the Off Piste crew on this verbal spewage of very specific character swapping in this special spitballing episode as Neil has a Guardian misinterpret wrestling, Luck physically weakens the Jedi Council and Rebecca ruins the reputation of a Potions master. Meanwhile, Virgo decides to take on a rogue op and Lisa has a proposal for Flint.

As we all know, obviously, a country like the good ol' US of A would never invade a foreign land purely to gain access to their resources. That would be ludicrous.

It's Neil's birthday! And considering both Tull and Luck have had birthday-themed episodes for themselves in the past (#37 and #113 respectively if you're so inclined), it was only fitting for our resident tall boy to have one too. As such, he's being treated to some nice getaways for his birthday. But where in fiction is he being taken to? And why did we completely forget that we literally did this question the previous year (#114) despite Neil's insistence that we didn't? Find out the answers to one of these questions in this double-guest celebratory bash as Tom dangles a dangerous (and sandy) carrot, Bryony tries to provide a life well-lived and Luck offers an inadvertently risky safari experience. Meanwhile, Flint and Isla receive an unexpected visitor and Randall Jnr. leads Virgo on a wild goose chase.

Uh oh. The Off Piste crew have gotten on the wrong side of the mafia and need to get out of dodge quickly before the gangsters catch up to them and irreparably rough them up. So where in fiction are they fleeing to in order to escape the wrath of the Italian mob? Find out in a double-returning-guests special as Bryony hops throughout the past, Tom kindles his flame atop a fortress and Neil seeks out mobsters in order to not find them at all.

When you're out in the irradiated Wasteland of Fallout, you've got to play it carefully if you don't want to end up a snack for a nearby Deathclaw or Radscorpion. And not even a good snack either, most likely. In those conditions you'd likely be quite underweight? Is that how you want to go? As a forgettable morsel for a monster? Thought not. So that's why the OP crew are exploring what they'd do once free of a Vault and out and about in the Wasteland itself. Will they make something of themselves? Find out as Luck hits the airwaves, a returning Marcus provides a 'mom and pop' vibe with a secret and Tull looks to be king of the ashes. Meanwhile, Axel implores Virgo to find the culprits behind the flyers and Cueto finally makes a significant decision.

Find out as Luck raises a glass to freedom, Tull lusts for the life of the bourgeoisie and a returning Marcus blurs the lines between rebellion and survival. Meanwhile, Flint visits O’Driscoll’s grave in search of guidance and Isla looks to make her late father Thin Eric proud.

When Joey from Friends got his own spin-off show, people were understandably excited. Unfortunately, the reality was that the Friend didn't really stand on his own two feet without the other Friends.

Find out as returning guest Marcus uncovers a history of puppet abuse, Tull takes us 100 acres out of the wood and Luck comes out BLASTIN'.

Journey with them as Neil spots a new patron at the soup kitchen, Tull provides the latest in alien gym equipment and Luck gets to the heart of the matter.
