The Wikicast

Hans Freiherr Geyr von Schweppenburg - Wikicast 128

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 08:00:38 -0400

It's a delayed Christmas miracle! Simon managed to peel himself from parenting, and Dan from... lawyering?, long enough to record an episode.

We talk Jingle Jam, films, music, books, parenthood, and HE HAS TWO FAKE LEGS??

Simon would like to apologise for the fact that this episode is *checks notes* FOUR MONTHS LATE. An awful lot has happened with the studio move and parenthood and about a million other things.

Anyway, hear from the boys back in May talk surprisingly seriously about YouTube videos and completely lose it over a whole new genre of Australian music. We will be back with a more timely episode before long!

Short Music for Short People - Wikicast 107

Fri, 15 Apr 2022 05:32:05 -0300

Simon and Dan haven't spoken in weeks apart from the London incident so expect a big catch-up! Along the way they discover a rather unique album, talk about their latest discoveries on Netflix, and a reader describes the first (?) wikicast-themed dream...

Lots of passion and geekery in this one, enjoy!

Teddy Lion - Wikicast 106

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 19:50:10 -0300

Simon gets existential about YouTube, Dan proposes the Hans Zimmer crossover we've all been waiting for, and we introduce you to one of the finest Croatian musicians you've never heard of. Also, Simon gets turned into a child?

Truly, one of our best episodes.

Mascot (sternwheeler) - Wikicast 105

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 05:00:03 -0400

It's a jobbing boat. What more needs to be said? A lot, it turns out.

This episode is a doozy. We talk anime, give new music recommendations (check out the links below), Simon sings an impromptu country song, and Dan makes some... interesting... choices in a choose-your-own-adventure fan fiction. Not one to miss!

Zara Tindall - Wikicast 102

Thu, 06 Jan 2022 11:10:19 -0400

The episode with a visual aid. Simon and Dan discuss House of Gaga, Olympic sports, the Jingle Jam, and finally read the brilliant Holopod Star Wars fan fiction!

For reasons that will become clear in the next episode, this episode is very, very, very, very dated. We recorded this over a month ago, as is obvious from our discussion of the Jingle Jam. To cut a long story short, Simon got quite sick (but is better now!).

Gert Palmcrantz - Wikicast 101

Tue, 30 Nov 2021 07:07:16 -0400

In a remarkable piece of continuity, Simon and Dan are in Sweden this episode! Specifically listening to some Jazz in the Pawnshop. Yes, PAWNshop. Dan gets misty-eyed about vinyl, Simon rants about DUNE, and both have opinions on James Bond...

Next episode: the Holopod!

For our 100th episode we're joined by some very special guests, the stars of the Swedish Wikicast! Featuring long-term readers Isabelle and Erik and new reader Greta, and an awful lot of content around #FishFacts.

Will Simon and Dan impress the new cast members with their Swedish? What does Greta want for her birthday? How is the weather in Alaska? We find out in our 100th episode extravaganza!

It's erect, it's aromatic, it's often compact... it's the Wikicast! Simon and Dan talk about a shrub before getting on to the important issue of splurging their recent watches and listens and generally catching up. It's been a while! Also, why can't Daaan pronounce traaaanslation?

Mars Pathfinder - Wikicast 090

Tue, 27 Apr 2021 04:15:49 -0300

The article Simon didn't want to tear himself away from. The boys talk about flight on other planets, sponsoring a flight on this planet, and Dan discovers his new favourite sport. Oh, and Simon has some announcement or other.

Fantastic work from you all writing in with your strange sports - please do keep them coming in, and let us know if there's an opportunity to join you (in the post rona times) to film us trying them!

New Caledonia men's national handball team - Wikicast 089

Tue, 13 Apr 2021 08:11:45 -0300

An episode featuring Dan reciting poetry, Simon reveals a secret part of his past, and we discuss what would be worse: being Midas, or anti-Midas.... Also the Witcher. #GetHenryCavillOnTheWikicast

What weird sports do you play? Has anyone else played Simon's scout version of handball? Can we make this the national sport of the wikicast? Email in and let us know!

Kisha club - Wikicast 088

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 08:20:17 -0300

This one is a slow build to a very satisfying finish... Simon calls Dan dad twice, and the Balrog makes an appearance.

Oh and twenty minutes of fan fiction. Strap in.

Pouteria aristata - Wikicast 082

Sun, 29 Nov 2020 08:27:20 -0400

We. Are. Back.

What's the article? Who cares. Simon and Dan natter on about what they've been up to, and drop some major bombs. Dan is doing something very interesting next year! Simon loves The Mandalorian! Dan STILL hasn't seen Hamilton!

After our hiatus we're now back with regular episodes, and this time around they're being edited by Dan! That means things might sound a bit different, and possibly explain that we may have completely forgotten how our show works. Enjoy!

You asked, we delivered! We invited Adam on the show to tell us why we're not role models, and then get sucked into quick possibly the most interesting wiki-rabbit hole of all time. It involves death rays, Citizen Kane, and "Oom the Omnipotent". All this and much more in this bumper episode of the Wikicast!

Mon, 09 Mar 2020 08:02:32 -0300

Conspiracies two weeks in a row!? Also, a bizarre coincidence! Insane conspiracy theories! Heinrich Himmler! And much, much more. It's a doozy this week. It's the Wikicast!

Miss China United Kingdom Pageant - Wikicast 070

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 04:24:11 -0400

The boys discover a Chinese bot conspiracy on wikipedia? Or possibly read too much into some edit history. Also we both lose it at different times in the episode this time, and we experience possibly the most fundamental change in the history of the show... It's the Wikicast!

Macropetalichthys - Wikicast 069 (with Pixel Girl!)

Mon, 10 Feb 2020 04:00:00 -0400

It's a very special episode. We are joined by Simon's girlfriend Pixel Girl! We talk about your school stories, review the Mandalorian, wonder how Pixel Girl puts up with Simon, and some truths about their relationship come to light... Oh and an armoured fish. Or something. For like ten seconds.

Transylvania, Louisiana - Wikicast 067

Sun, 12 Jan 2020 08:22:03 -0400

Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the airwaves, Simon and Dan come crashing back with a whole new hour of pseudo-content. How many Gs do you pull on a Milton Keynes roundabout? How hammered should you be to watch Cats (2019)? Was there a college of vampires in Kentucky? We ask all these questions and more in the brand new run of the Wikicast!

Whitespotted toadfish - Wikicast 066

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 05:45:43 -0300

Episode 66.2 really, after Simon accidentally deleted his recording of 66.1...

After an (explained) absence, the boys get possibly their shortest article yet and so fill you in on what's been going on in their lives: working with 900K+ YouTubers, Katy Perry orgasming, and learning about the benthiccc zone!

Leave us a review on iTunes if you have a moment: we'll read the best ones out next episode! https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-wikicast/id1256465047

Balanchine (horse race) - Wikicast 065

Wed, 11 Sep 2019 11:59:25 -0300

The boys are back after their summer break, and they are BURSTING with things to talk about. Horse racing! Singing! World of Warcraft! The Wurzels!

Strap yourself in for an hour of tangents, diversions, and occasionally a bit of learning. It's good to be back :) Let us know if you'd like to see us play some World of Warcraft!

St Patrick's Purgatory - Wikicast 064

Thu, 11 Jul 2019 06:56:36 -0300

Dan and Simon gaze deeply into St Patrick's hole. If you have a site of historical importance near you, please do email in! We want to hear all about your local history, and bonus points if you send us a photo of you listening to the podcast (or in Wikicast gear) at said site! Also please do guess what Dan's riddle is all about. Because Simon is a bit confuzzled.

Also it's our two year anniversary!! Thank you for putting up with us for so long, you guys rule. We totally remembered that it was our anniversary from the very start of the episode, as per...

The Whole Town's Talking - Wikicast 063

Mon, 01 Jul 2019 11:08:56 -0300

Blowie. Exeter. Confession. Hoooo boy.

Dan and Simon chat about old films and get caught in a wiki closed loop, the podcast loses some weight, we have yet more talents showcased from the readership, including some fantastic fan fiction! Also, we close out with some beautiful music from the University of Exeter Chapel Choir. Let us know what you think about the new structure!

He's back! And so's Simon! The Wikicast returns after Dan finished his exams. And oh boy is his hangover hitting him hard.

This episode we talk about the MCU, Game of Thrones, Chernobyl, the communist berry pickers of California, and generally get caught up! This is one of Simon's favourite ever episodes, give it a listen!

Lithuania at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics - Wikicast 052 (drunk special)

Wed, 23 Jan 2019 08:38:59 -0400

Oh boy. You lovely volk donated money to charity in the Jingle Jam on the promise that Dan and I would get hammered and record an episode. So, er, here we go... it's the end of both our careers. Simon mistakes a famous composer for a Nazi scientist. Dan's northern and Aussie sides get combined. A fan doesn't have brain cancer! It's all a goddamn mess so just sit back and enjoy...

We are joined by the delightful Patrick from TierZoo on YouTube to talk about the Miocene, biology, how TierZoo videos are made, the Smash Bros meta, give our Patreons RPG classes/races, and learn how Dan is an ungrateful dog-loving swine when it comes to Netflix recommendations...

Wikicast 040 - UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica

Sat, 11 Aug 2018 06:40:05 -0300

Dan talks about a transformative experience in Prague, Simon chats shit about the Incredibles 2, and we receive an incredibly exciting fan fiction!

A really packed episode this week, we're also talking about results day (and Dan's shady dealings), about Netflix recommendations (THE GOOD PLACE), Dan's date-ending medical emergency, the NHS, manlets, and so much more. You'll just have to listen to find out I guess...

Best of the Wikicast 2017-2018

Sat, 04 Aug 2018 06:00:00 -0300

The show just turned a year old, so we thought we'd compile some of our best moments into a special episode while Dan is on tour in Prague! You can expect some pure Simon and Dan goodness, some star turns by our guests, the best of correspondence, and some famous/infamous fan fics.

This is a long-form 'best of' in that I've clipped whole segments from past shows. If you dear reader would like to compile a short-form version where it's just the best sentences and jokes and rants then we would love to see that more than words can say. Please, please make that.

As I say in the episode, you guys have given us more than we have given you and so we remain in your debt. Thank you for being such an amazing community of listeners. You're all the best and we love you very much. Mwah.

Wikicast 030 SPECIAL - Wilkins Peak (with Sally Le Page)

Sat, 07 Apr 2018 05:41:04 -0300

Sally and Simon are joined by Dan for a bit. Go follow her on the twitter, sometimes she's ok. In this episode the gang talk about taste in films, mountains in Wyoming, Dan's almighty hangover, happy lesbian films, read a fan fiction, try some Welsh, and discuss how to keep on top of uni work. So we stay on topic the whole time, basically.

Note: we haven't forgotten about your correspondence RE: the racist incident at Exeter Uni! As we had a guest this week we thought we'd wait until the next episode to discuss it, so it can be given due attention. There's still time to send your emails in if you're a BME student at a UK uni - please do get in touch.
