  • The Upside Down Mars Bar Mystery
    Mar 23 2025

    We are back for a listener question special, with the international break coming to a welcome end - and normal pods returning next week. Our resident Pessimist Rob is away in South Africa, so we are again blessed with the dulcet tones of the Cotswolds finest decorating company's head honcho Mr. Hateley (who's too busy to take on any additional work). We cover off:

    • How are babies made?
    • What do we need to be a success in the Championship?
    • A Tom, Zigic & Rowett threesome
    • How big is the Midlands?


    We would also love our listeners to get in touch and tell us why Tom is turning his Mars Bars upside down in the fridge!

  • Fulfilling Sponsorship Obligations
    Mar 16 2025

    The lads (minus Rob who's on stag duties) are back, with our sponsor Jon from Barrington Decor filling the pessimist's seat, and there's plenty of debate on:

    • Big Willy - What's going wrong?
    • Was Northampton just a blip?
    • Can Ants detect rain?
    • Is a sit down wee a treat?

    Another fun episode to record, and we hope you enjoy the dulcet tones of the Cotswolds finest decorator in Robs absence!

  • Bouncebackability
    Mar 9 2025

    After having 2 men down last week, The Blue Machine have showed more Bouncebackability than Chris Davies after a defeat. This week we bring you:

    • Wycombe, Bolton & Lincoln Reviews
    • Why Haven't Snakes Evolved Arms?
    • There's Not A Lot To Do In Northampton
    • Tom's Best South African Impression
    • Will We Lose Again This Season?


    A brilliantly fun episode to record, and we hope its just as good a listen. Make the most of Rob and his pessimistic views being in your ears as he's away on stag / work duties the next 2 weeks so you'll have pods full of optimism to look forward to.

    Thanks to our sponsor Barrington Decor for their continued support of the pod.
