Episode notes

It’s the 400th episode of the podcast! Thanks to everyone who listens, and everyone who sends in questions for discussion on this podcast.

The following is a question that was sent in for Stuart and William to discuss by Ron in Cuddesdon, Oxfordshire, England.

“I notice you record so you capture the ambient noise in the background and you leave the bleeped out swearing in. Most other podcasts don’t, so why do you? Do you think it's a distraction for the listener? Do you think it's a weakness that you’re not experts in what you talk about? Mind you, I don’t know how you could be, as the questions set by listeners are so varied? You could though release less so you could research each question more, but that could lose some of your off the cuff dynamic though. Some of your views, statements and claims, are maybe unfounded, but as you are aiming to get people thinking through the podcast, maybe that's your aim?”

During this discussion they talk about why they keep ambient sound in recordings, the pitfalls of swearing on podcasts and how it’s perceived differently around the world. Together with how they don’t try to pretend to be something they are not, and are always attempting to get you thinking about the big issues in the world.

In this episode they talk about Environmental Debate Live & Unscripted which is happening on the 27th May at the Bothy Vineyard, in rural Oxfordshire. Here’s a link to book tickets for this event: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/environmental-debate-live-unscripted-tickets-514832145807
