**The Wikicast**

Simon and Dan go on a random wikipedia article and chat about it – it’s the Wikicast!

Latest Episodes:

Kisha club - Wikicast 088 Apr 01, 2021

Show notes

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.

Keith Brooking - Wikicast 086 Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

I'll be honest, I edited this episode yesterday and I cannot remember for the life of me what we talk about. Something about Sea Beet I think? You're on your own.

Simon: I feel like I've needed therapy for quite some time
Dan, with no hesitation: yes

We're back! Filling your ears with honey and nonsense, including the Cod Wars, poetry, and a very strange video with a saxophone.

Pouteria aristata - Wikicast 082 Nov 29, 2020

Show notes

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!

Theos Casimir Bernard - Wikicast 081 (with Adam our editor!) Sep 28, 2020

Show notes

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!
