OM Presents: Sticking Together w/ Searlo Feat. Callum Preston

obliviousmaximuspodcast@gmail.com (Aaron Osborne) — Wed, 13 May 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Ben Searle loves stickers, Callum Preston loves stickers. They talk about Callum's archive of stickers collected over a lifetime and pick one for Ben's car.

This week on the pod, not the pod! Due to Searlo copping a cold and Aaron going away we were unable to record a pod, BUT for a while Searlo has been sitting on this chat with Callum Preston about stickers!

This was a test for a video series filmed in mid 2025 that didn't eventuate. We thought it was a good spot for it as a little something instead of no episode until we are back in the studio. We are back recording soon so jump on speak pipe and send us a message.

Big thanks to Callum Preston for his time recording this a while ago. Check him out - https://callumpreston.com
