Wed, 06 May 2009 12:50:00 GMT

TAP Series 4 Episode 12: Flash & Burn

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 22:20:00 GMT

The reason for our out-of-sorts show intro is that Joe had taken it upon himself to get involved in the production of the show. It won't happen again. An actor, a flasher and a candlestick maker are just some of the treats we have lined up for you this week. OK, that last one was made up. Enjoy the show.

Crackly Pop Rocks are fun to eat on the mic, but we balance things out with some serious talk on pigs, and why our very own Jamie Oliver is coming under fire for not telling the world to become vegetarian. Also, Joe shares his dreams of farming, and how he has reinvented himself as 'Orlando Jo'.

TAP Series 4 Episode 07: Friendships & Squirrels

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:30:00 GMT

Sometimes you just have to sit down and talk it out. This show is all about getting some serious Ben and Joe time. Ok, it's also a bit about squirrels, but mainly it's about close friendships between two men, and if it can get "too close for comfort", as Ben sometimes says. You will love this show.

TAP Series 4 Episode 06: Lame Gifts & Grease Fests

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 13:00:00 GMT

It's always awkward when you're given a gift that's awesome, and you reciprocate with, well, crap. At least not everyone in the world knows about it. Oh wait.

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 13:00:00 GMT

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 12:55:00 GMT

TAP Series 3 Episode 20 - Floor Kings & Endings

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 22:30:00 GMT

Some folk think all that's needed in order to be successful is a talking animal. Perhaps that's what we're missing on The Absolute Peach. Should we dress up a mangy dog in kingly robes and a crown? Is that what the world wants? Let's ask Beatrix Potter. That doesn't make much sense at all, but this is the end of the series, and if it was boring and sensible you'd never forgive us. Thanks for being awesome. We'll see you soon.

TAP Series 3 Episode 16 - Game Freaks & Mystery Meats

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:00:00 GMT

Ooh, I don't like where this is going! I'm mildly scared that this is the end! The Peach has crossed a line! Has it? Or did we just decide to do a short show last week? A word to the Worrying Winnies: Stop it. TAP isn't going anywhere. So smile, dear listeners, and enjoy this feature-length show.

TAP Series 3 Episode 13 - Short & Sweet

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:00:00 GMT

Have you ever heard the saying, "It's not quantity but quality that counts"? Well, this week's episode of The Peach has neither quantity nor quality. Ok, that's not 100% true. Let's just say it does exactly what it says on the tin. And by tin we mean title.

TAP Series 3 Episode 12 - Reviews & Racism

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 13:00:00 GMT

Ever noticed how racism is just like a bad movie? No, neither have we. The main topics covered in this week's show could hardly be more different. Yet TAP weaves them into one show so expertly, you'll barely notice the seams. Plus: you love intro songs, and this week we've got not one, but two just for you. We're awesome.

TAP Series 3 Episode 11 - Sleepless Nights & Fashion Faux Pas

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:00:00 GMT

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:00:00 GMT

TAP Series 3 Episode 09 - Geeks & Emos

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 13:00:00 GMT

Have you ever seen a man who was so white and thin that you thought he was a ghost of some sort? Ben has...but it wasn't a ghost, it was an emo buying his lunch. Our thoughts on this strange man and some geeks too. Brilliant.

TAP Series 3 Episode 08 - Apples & Apologies

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:00:00 GMT

Fri, 23 May 2008 15:00:00 GMT

What's the first rule of Intro Club? What's up with pilots these days? And why are all Joe's stories about Bulls recently? We also discuss the wonderful diversity of accents used in our fine country, and Ben tells of how he was accosted by a 12-year-old.

TAP Series 3 Episode 05 - Gladiators & Cheese

Fri, 16 May 2008 15:00:00 GMT

Do you feel the power of the Gladiators? No? Neither do we. Gladiators these days are too soft, with their lycra and padded pugils. We discuss an idea for a new twist on the Gladiators formula, and also get into some cheese talk. Between Gladiators and cheese, this show has something for everyone.
