Abergeddon! The Podcasts

The Last Ever Podcast. Ever: 2 (Version 1)

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Ruckwood & Rajiv Ariaraj) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 19:15:00 +0000

So, by now it's pretty obvious that the Last Ever Podcast WASN'T the Last Ever Podcast, but, you know what? - we're just going to string this out as long as we can, or at least until the titles become so long and complicated that they implode upon themselves, or something.

Anyway, this little doozy was recorded in good ol' Aberystwyth when the decidedly non-dynamic duo of Matt and Raj descended upon their old stomping ground for a brief visit. Considering both of us were unemployed at the time of recording, expect some quite depressing fare which, for Matt, are delivered in the scratchy, pained tones of a sore throat.

Also, expect swearing. Lots of swearing (don't worry, it's censored... snigger) Enjoy!

Religion and Students: The Documentary

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Ruckwood & Rajiv Ariaraj) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:10:00 +0000

As part of my MA in Radio Production I had to produce and record a 30 minute factual radio programme. Mine was about religion and students. On it is Matt (listen out for his stupid nervous laugh) and other Abergeddon staples such as Mike, Alex, Sally, Annie and Grae.

Enjoy my radio wales voice!

The Last Ever Podcast. Ever. (Version 2)

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Ruckwood & Rajiv Ariaraj) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 23:37:00 +0000

Okay, here's the story: the Last Ever Podcast was recorded in an incredibly unproductive and sapping 50 minute session in which very, very little that we came up with was even approaching mildly entertaining material.

So Version 1 is the stuff we managed to salvage from that crapfest (I know what you're thinking, and to answer the question - yes, unbelievably the stuff we cut was even worse than the rubbish you've just listened to), and Version 2 is a new podcast that we recorded because we felt so bad at having produced something so awful...

Now, you'd think that we'd learn from our mistakes and make it better second time around, wouldn't you? Hmm?

Looks like you just overestimated the Abergeddon! again.

The Last Ever Podcast. Ever. (Version 1)

Well, this is it. The end. The Last Ever Podcast... part 1.

It's been almost a year since the Abergeddon! was born, seven months since we ended on Bay Radio, and three months since we recorded The Last Ever Podcast. And here it is, a specially-recorded show from Matt and Raj's last day in Aberystwyth.

I don't want to put you off, folks, but... well, it gets pretty emotional. Sexily emotional. (Not really)

This podcast touches upon many a hilarious topic, including futile and childish drinking games, cheap impressions, and filler phone calls all, of course, bundled up between the usual witless banter. So, you know, enjoy...

The Fifth Podcast - Podcast 3

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Ruckwood & Rajiv Ariaraj) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 22:22:00 +0000

Man, these titles are just becoming annoying. Anyway, here it is... finally. The fifth overall podcast that just happens to be the third and final podcast of the original Bay Radio run. Yep, the big finale - from the 29th of May 2008. Multiple guests, multiple hosts, one goal: to create the highest form of entertainment known to mankind, the student radio show.

Mike Dickinson, Charlotte Jones, James Robinson, Andrew Robinson (his brother), Alexander Phillips, Rhys Fowler, Scroll (via telecommunications link) - what a lineup. The highlight of the show is possibly the finest Back to the Future Goes to the Movies ever created, where Marty, Doc, Biff, Mr. Fujitsu, and, yes, good ol' Seamus, experience life in Shawshank State Penitentiary... epic.

This is one jam-packed 1 hour and 40 minutes of Abergeddon!, so you'd better get listening!

New Stuff Coming Soon!

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Ruckwood & Rajiv Ariaraj) — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 20:40:00 +0000

Would you just look at that? Has it really been three months since the last podcast? Wow. What's that? "Who cares?" Well then, assuming you've already read the title of this post, you're not going to be very happy. Why? Because Abergeddon! is almost back, back, back!

The explanation? For the past two months, I literally had no hard drive space to edit a podcast together! At one particularly scary moment my free space was reading 64Kb - yeah, that's Kb. When was the last time you saw a kilobyte! 1994?

Anyway, I've recently whacked a 160Gb monster into my four-year old laptop (not unlike giving an OAP a lung transplant from Michael Phelps) so I'm now able to once again edit the aural masterpiece that is the Abergeddon! Podcast.

Yep, coming up very soon, I promise*, is the podcast of the final broadcast show from the 22nd of May, as well as a third podcast special recorded in September. So, you know, get ready for that... I promise it won't let you down.

*by reading this you agree not to hold me to this or any other promises that may have been made within this blogpost.

The Fourth Podcast - Podcast 2

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Ruckwood & Rajiv Ariaraj) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 19:41:00 +0000

Okay, okay, let me just work this out... this is podcast four overall, but podcast two of the original shows. Sooooo... four plus two comes to six, and six is the number of times you will look at your watch during the first ten seconds of the podcast, so that means... um... carry the two... times pi...

You know what? How about you just listen to the podcast and stop bothering me. Yeah. Because in it you'll find the first ever recording of Back to the Future Goes to the Movies, in which Doc, Marty, Biff and, last but not least, Seamus, journey through the world of film and react in largely predictable ways. Enjoy!

The Third Podcast - Abergeddon! Special 2

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Ruckwood & Rajiv Ariaraj) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:29:00 +0000

You lucky people - for your aural pleasure we've only gone and recorded yet another special podcast. Although considering this is supposed to be part of a series of podcasts, it's not really that special at all. But then neither was the last 'Special', and that WAS supposed to be special. (This would have been the perfect lead up to a question for the quiz, back in the good old Bay Radio days.) Good times.

Anyway, HERE it is!

The Second Podcast - Podcast 1
