Mar 29th, 2017 45m 50s

What do you think of when you think of Canada? Maple Syrup? Poutine? Hit TV show Due South starring Paul Haggis, who looks like what happens if you cross Brendan Fraser and the guy that played Hercules in the one that was like Xena, but not Xen

102 - Hula Hoopin'

100 - A Centennial Extravaganza

Jan 25th, 2017 2h 1m

Wasn't it lovely of the Queen to send us a telegram for our 100th episode, which is definitely something that happened and we certainly didn't just doctor an old lady's 100th birthday telegram, because that would probably be treason.And this bu

099 - Interspecies Love & High Jinks

Nov 9th, 2016 49m

The British monarchy pushes Chris's buttons, a coquettish woodpigeon pushes Jack's buttons and Philip is too busy pushing listener's buttons to have time for any of his own. It's the last ever double-digit episode of Wikishuffle, and we're spen

098 - Scrutinising Woo-woos

Nov 2nd, 2016 37m 52s

We recorded this episode bloody ages ago, so our cutting edge references to the deaths of King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand and Jean 'Hilda Ogden' Alexander have probably already been forgotten. Especially since this is 2016, or the Year of

097 - Worry Bubbles

Oct 18th, 2016 37m 45s

We're fast becoming the Wikishuffle Mental Health Hour. Please bear in mind that we're not psychologists and our prognosis of everything being fine and normal and generally attributable to the mugging ennui of twenty-first century existence is

096 - Big Tushy Girls

Oct 11th, 2016 37m 13s

You'd be forgiven for thinking that we're a bit bum-obsessed at Wikishuffle HQ, but that simply isn't true. We just go wherever the random article button takes us. And it just so happens to pique our interest whenever anything derriere-ery come

095 - Chicken Breakfast

Oct 5th, 2016 53m 49s

Most podcasts don't transition from whimsy to cheese to chess to frank discussions about mental health. But then Wikishuffle isn't most podcasts. In fact, statistics will tell you that Wikishuffle is actually less than 10% of podcasts. Look it

094 - Calpol is a Medicine

Sep 27th, 2016 54m 54s

Remember Chrisville from Episode 66? Sure you do - it's the island Chris is planning to build and govern. Since undoubtedly all Wikishuffle listeners will absolutely definitely be emigrating there as soon as humanly possible, you'd better liste

093 - Fish & Chips

Sep 20th, 2016 37m 58s

Things aren't nearly as jovial as this week's cover photo might suggest, as we take a look at the political abyss that the western world appears to be getting sucked into in 2016.If only Thomas the Tank Engine were here to make everything feel

092 - Meeting the Babadook

Sep 13th, 2016 37m 20s

"It's a hypothetical situation about spider being on your penis. Just go with it."Can you believe we've made it all the way to episode 92 before bringing up the hypothetical situation about a spider being on your penis and just going with it? M

091 - A Disappointment for Yarmouth

Sep 6th, 2016 37m 58s

It's an episode where we read out lists of what things are called in different countries. That sounds like fun, right? Specifically, a beloved character and a niche sport.Want to know what beloved character and which niche sport? Well then you'

090 - Muck-Men and The Werecat

Aug 31st, 2016 37m 57s

We've had just about all we can stand from Jack, so we're holding an intervention. It's for his own benefit, you understand. So that we're not forced to murder him during a recording session when things get out of hand.Prior to that it's an edu

089 - Hot Blood

Aug 24th, 2016 37m 32s

Given that episode 19, way back in July 2015 was called Got Blood, it seems inevitable that episode 159 will be called iot blood. And taken to its natural conclusion, you can expect to be listening to our final installment - Zot Blood - some ti

088 - Golden Delicious

Aug 17th, 2016 37m 58s

Sticking closely to our remit, there's barely any Wikipedia and absolutely zero shuffling in this week's episode. Most of our time instead is spent admiring Jack's newly acquired status of Fruit Ninja.There's a Papa John's update to, so do feel

087 - The Island of Doctor Wallace

Aug 10th, 2016 37m 43s

Evolution gets a helping hand from the deranged mind of Christopher Wallace this week - a man whose idea of self-improvement skews somewhat unconventional.When not accusing a deceased Guinness World Record holder of being a liar, or critiquing

086 - Malcolm The Fish Man

Aug 3rd, 2016 36m 50s

Wikipedia barely gets a look in this week, as we dedicate episode 86 to Corby hero Malcolm 'the Fish Man' Viales, try to decide whether Jack is smarter than a pig and stick it hard to the fascists of Kettering Borough Council.Why not tell us ab

085 - The Shameless Pokemongo Crossover Episode

Jul 26th, 2016 37m 5s

Our founding father and resident Snorlax has returned after a six week hiatus trekking wild Pokemon in the depths of Northamptonshire.To celebrate Jack's renewal of hosting duties and hopefully cash in on the maelstrom of Pokemongo that's ravag

084 - Buff Leatherman

Jul 20th, 2016 37m 43s

In her sixth and final outing on Wikishuffle (for now, at least), Ruth Bradley spends most of the episode making crude hand signals, willfully unaware of the limitations of audio podcasting.Phil regails us with some actual first hand (and not v

083 - (Bonus) Nannas in the Attic with Amy Walker

Jul 17th, 2016 37m 53s

Second outing for Amy Walker to pick some more Wikipedia articles for us to take a look at.Two articles of European history this week. We examine some evidence that suggests 93% of all Russian men are called Yuri, and ponder the question of wha

082 - The Bumisode

Jul 12th, 2016 37m 57s

There's about three minutes in the middle of this week's episode where we're not speaking about bums, but even then we make the phrase 'visa bungle' sound vaguely bummish.So we're talking cod science, Olympians and IOOPP (incidental out-of-plac

081 - (Bonus) Rowbotham with Amy Walker

Jul 10th, 2016 37m 5s

Thanks to Amy Walker for being our special guest article selector this week. You can find her writing at http://trans--scribe.blogspot.co.uk/.The first article she brings along is intended specifically as an insult to Phil (so kind), but backfi
