Episode 9 of our Podcast sees Executive Producer Robson and Campbell reunited for the first time in a long time. Tune in and listen as they fondly reminisce times good and bad, and then cover the ears of nearby children as they bicker like schoolgirls who have drunk too much lager. Occasionally they can be heard to discuss actual subjects such as The Economy, Dog Allergies and The Official Secrets Act.

Peppering a selection of fantastic tunes, FOTS-POD#7 sees Executive Producer Robson and Craig discuss the relative merits of Golf versus Running, what constitutes a good Toad in the Hole and whether or not Dogs really can say “Sausages”. The podcast also sees the first airing of a new FOTS-POD feature called “Ask Robson”…….

DOWNLOAD - FOTS-POD#7 - The Cook, The Dude, The Robson and his Dinner

Recorded on a weird and almost tragic day for the boys and girls of Friends of the Stars, herein Executive Producer Robson and Campbell discuss The Thomas Crown Affair and Closing The Door When You Pee. Later on in the evening when this podcast was recorded, Campbell was stabbed by vicious street hoodies. Eeek!

DOWNLOAD - FOTS-POD#6 - Let Them Eat Robson

To be honest this one is a bit rubbish. Executive Producer Robson and Craig spent their valuable recording time embroiled in a ‘discussion’ that proved to be as useless and boring as it was circular. We cobbled together what we could from the scraps.
