• E11: Scott Walker and Bojack Horseman
    Jan 24 2023

    It's been a while, but we're back.


    No guests this time, just two GREAT guys, Colin Hoult and Pete Heat, having a bloody chat m8 about things that we deem epic m8.

    Not epic in the modern sense: we're looking for something extraordinary, something inspirational;, something sublime. That's what we're trying to access here thank you VERY much, and we think we've found another couple of nuggets of the stuff.


    This week Colin presents Pete with the works of musician Scott Walker, and Pete presents Colin with Bojack Horseman, a depressed cartoon horse. Have a listen to find out why.

    We hope you like it...

  • E8: James Rowland on Swimming
    Oct 18 2022

    He's got a phenomenal beard. He's got a sell-out show. He's this week's guest, James Rowland, and we'll fight anyone who says he isn't.


    This episode Colin Hoult and Pete Heat talk to James about subjects including swimming, Mitch Hedberg, Transformers the movie, WhatsApp, and, of COURSE, accountancy. The big 5.


    Read about James' show, Learning To Fly, here: https://attictheatrecompany.com/whatson/learning-to-fly/

    Watch Mitch Hedberg on Youtube, a popular video sharing site we've discovered, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqaq7MIcN0A

    Watch Transformers the Movie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RNzyYurjHg


    and then go for a swim.

  • E7: David Bowie and Improv Comedy
    Oct 11 2022

    From the Beano to Bowie. From Ian Brown to Improv Comedy. This episode of Epic Things has it all, and when we say “it all”, we mean it has those four things.


    No guests this time: just two hardened street thugs, Colin Hoult and Pete Heat, slugging it out in the ring we call Podcasting.


    Pull up a pew. Pull up a… headphones. Get stuck in.


    Colin talked about Bowie, and mentioned this video particularly: https://youtu.be/HyMm4rJemtI


    Pete talked about improv, and mentioned this man: https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2021/aug/23/we-are-each-other-review-trevor-lock-summerhall-edinburgh

    And this podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/congrats-on-the-new/id1546243423


    You probably don’t need a link to the Beano.

  • E6: Rosie Holt on The Count of Monte Cristo
    Oct 4 2022

    Rosie Holt is in the building.


    If you have a Twitter account and/or a couple of eyeballs you’ve almost certainly seen her hilarious, pitch perfect satirical comedy clips on the internet. Or maybe you’ve seen her on stage, in theatres or at comedy clubs. Alternatively, it’s possible you’ve seen her somewhere else entirely, or not at all. Those are all the options.


    Either way, here she is, with an Epic Thing to add to the pile: The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas


    Colin gets political, Pete gets maudlin. Epic Things are afoot. It’s a good episode.

  • E5: Plums
    Sep 28 2022

    It’s got Colin Hoult. It’s got Pete Heat. It’s got soundwaves in digital form. That’s right: it’s a podcast, baby, and you can stick it in in your ears for a bit if you like.


    In this episode we talk, as ever, about the wonders of existence, viewed through a lens comprised of things we like. Things you could even call “Epic”. This week, these things include the human body (well, most of it), plum wine served by a man with a square face, and a joyfully absurd hidden camera magic show.


    We talk about this song: https://youtu.be/dH0WbrGAyH0, This video: https://youtu.be/8gxdjH3QjNU

    This restaurant: https://tarorestaurants.uk/soho/

    And some other stuff too probably. Pop a blanket on your shoulders and give it a bloody listen m8.

  • E4: Attack of the Clagnuts (with Kath Hughes)
    Sep 20 2022

    This week, Colin Hoult and Pete Heat are joined by their first guest. You may have seen her in After Life, in The End of The F***ing World, in Years and Years, in Tarot (her sketch trio), or in Wales, where she INSISTS she was raised. She’s called Kath Hughes, and she’s bloody lovely.


    Join us as we attempt to grab hold of some gleaming nuggets of sublime beauty, before thrusting them, beaming, into each other’s faces as if to say “see! See! A thing! An Epic Thing!”


    This week we talk about a TV show, a book, an 80s band, and some other stuff too if you don’t mind my saying so. See you on the other side.
