    Welcome to Season 2 of the Old News Podcast!

    Freedom from the Humber to the Tweed! In this episode we have more referendum talk, this time about the North East England regional assembly referendum.

    David calls for the establishment of the People's Democratic Republic of Northumbria while Russell agitates for the Royal and Ancient Kingdom of Northumbria. Eventually we settle on re-establishing the Danelaw and requesting admittance to the Nordic Council. We also consider annexing Strathclyde.

  • Episode 20: Ben Johnson
    Apr 7 2018

    First of all I would like to apologise for how late this episode is, it was recorded in March when the Winter Olympics were still on and it was snowing rather heavily here in the UK. It is all my fault not Russell's, I have been struggling to concentrate on editing for any period of time and have only been able to do it in short bursts. Here it is though, I hope you enjoy it.

    David.

    In this episode we leave our comfort zone and talk about sport. Yes, anyone who knows us knows that neither of us have a clue when it comes to sportsball, but we’re going to get a little bit controversial talking about nobody’s favourite Canadian sprinter - Ben Johnson.

    We also thank a man in a Land Rover and Russell suggests the possibility of allowing outboard motors in Olympic swimming.
