Explore every episode of the podcast A Breath of Fresh Beans

Continuing our 'peek-behind-the-curtain' theme, this week we let you in on our discussions as to whether the podcast needs a slogan. After 25 episodes we finally named the podcast and 15 episodes later, in this 40th and final episode of series 4, we actually use it for the first time. In this episode we...

• Bounce around some terrible slogan suggestions
• Have some practice starts to try them out
• Get distracted by Tigers
• Fail to come up with a slogan

In a slight change to the usual episodes, today we have a self aggrandising look back over our voluminous body of online work under the Pouring Beans name. Everyone does these thing on nice round numbers or important dates usually, but not us. No Sir. Basically we read our own stuff back to ourselves. We discuss:

• Why is it called that?
• How did it begin
• Some McIver poetry
• Remembering is fun

Ey up Beans fans, we're back again, right on time, like Black Box but spelled right. This time Chris asks us about the most depressing foods we've eaten, we discuss...

A Breath of Fresh Beans returns from the loo, with a lovely ponderance from Ian about who would play each of us in the move adaption of our life stories. We discuss...

Hot on the heels of episode 33, we have another lovely Breath of Fresh Beans™ for you. This one features:

• Chris's Horse obsession
• Ian's bad choices
• Kev's topical (for 2020) decision

After only 9 months since the last episode, and because Ian made me feel bad for that fact, here comes episode 33! I've dredged out from the lockdown archives this gem, where we discuss:

• Gigs
• Gruff Rhys
• Ignoring the question
• Food

A Breath of Fresh Beans returns triumphantly after only 371 days since the last episode. We're still ploughing through the wealth of recordings made during the various Covid-19 lockdowns, so its still technically series 4.

Anyway, we burst back into your ears to discuss:

• Finland
• Paul McCartney
• Popcorn
• Tinned Bears

We all have things that REALLY annoy us, that other people think are inconsequential. In this insightful episode we discuss:

We're back, we've reached the big 3-0, and just in time for Kev to keep his first 2022 bean!

A episode that's a month late, but guaranteed not to disappoint* we take a very quick detour from the starting question to discuss:

• How to attach sandpaper
• Dog kennels
• Double dipping chips
• The merits of various sauces

*Guarantee valid only for residents of care homes and Finland.

The big question raised in episode 25 was "can donkeys swim"? Chris found 'an' answer online. This is that answer, complete with much giggling.

In another longer-than-usual episode, Chris poses an excellent question about racehorses which leads us down many an interesting path. Its also the catalyst for our first ever 'Bonus Episode'!

Season 2 is gone, as is the old name, 'Episodes' is no more... welcome to 'A Breath of Fresh Beans'. We kick off the rebrand with a short season of 'specials' starting with Pubcast 1: Mining.

In a podcast recoded at a point in time when we all clearly had pretty sore throats, we discuss the useless kitchen gadgets we all have in the back of that awkward corner cupboard.

The key points this month are:

• Bacon
• Nuts
• Eggs
• Kebabs
• Eggs

Ian starts us off this month with a cracking question, which we quickly ignore and answer a question a bit like it. We discuss:

• Discarding body parts
• Robotic replacements
• Cartoon upgrades

Cracking on through series 2 we go, and this ones a nice example of the casual ramblings that appear with an unscripted/unprepared/unorganised podcast about... stuff.

This episode we discuss:

• Sweet Crisps
• 50/50 Flavours
• A Meal of Crisps
• An endless lists of flavours

I know, I know, I missed a month. It's sort of worth the wait though, Chris gets sweary at the start of this one and wait 'til you hear next month's episode... phew.

Anyway, this time we discuss:

• Socks
• Socks over Socks
• Bed Socks

• Cherries
• The Legend of Stabby MacKenzie
• Posthumous skulduggery
• Chris' way out.

I have to admit this ones a weird one. Usually I give some bullet points of whats going on in the episode but to do that would spoil this one, so you'll just have to go into it blind.

Good luck.

If you are affected by any of the themes in today's podcast,... erm... oops.

Episodes is back with another cracking example. Yes, I know its been fucking ages, but what are you going to do about it?

This time out we ponder the evergreen topic of Ivy, specifically:

• Sensual statues
• A good view
• Riding a pig
• Deep personal psychoanalysis from Dr. Marshall.

The podcast technically known as 'Episodes' is back for an epic second series. And this time it was recorded in a building with more than one floor. Exciting or what?

Episode 12 kicks us off perfectly with happy, nonsensical chat about:

• Queen Mothers
• Queens
• Basketball
• Queens.

In the last of the currently recorded podcasts, this week's audio treat brings you the exciting topics of:

• Peter and the Wolf

A new episode I hear you exclaim with glee. With an increasingly erratic release schedule, this surprise new episode includes Chris, Ian and Kev rambling incoherently about:

• Bees vs Wasps
• Ian’s money management
• Jams and Chutneys
• The pickle conundrum.

Kev and Ian are once again joined by Chris for another exciting instalment where they discus:

• Gatu
• Gateau
• Cake
• Cake vs Gateau
• Sport

In an exciting format twist Ian and Kev are joined this time out by Chris, meaning that, for the first time, everyone who actually listens to the podcast was there when it was recorded. They all had a jolly good time discussing:

• Even keels
• Inner smiles and secret smiles
• The merits of tinned fruit
• Hooting eyes

Welcome back.

This time out Ian and Kev spend most of the time discussing elevenses, only to discover that they have no idea what it is.

Enjoy.

In this vastly delayed release, Kev and Ian discuss:

• Weather
• Living as Mr Men
• Dangerous Seagulls

Kev and Ian discuss such inane nonsense as:

– Making eyes – Tuning eyes – Using eyes – Bananarama – Photoshopping gurns

In this vastly delayed episode, Ian and Kev discuss:

• A small feud over Stock Aitken Waterman
• Annexing the Lake District
• Crumpets
• Onions

That’s right Episode 3 is here already, in this frankly wonderful installment Kev and Ian discuss:

• Zoup
• Chuck Norris selling Levis
• What to do with an abundance of crystal skulls
• The Book of Mormon
• Opening a discount retail store

Hot on the heels from Episode 1 comes… you guessed it, Episode 2!

In this episode, Kev and Ian discuss, amongst other things:

• The musical zeitgeist
• How to recognise a time travelling horse
• The future of breakfast cereal
• The economies of Chinese Manufacturing

This right here, is a world exclusive. I know technically (and actually) all of our posts are world exclusives, but some of them just feel more worthy of the title than others, that’s all I’m saying. And what I’m saying is that this is one of them.

So. Right then. Here it is. In a first for Pouring Beans Productions, here is your actual very first Pouring Beans Podcast.

It doesn’t really have a name as such, except that this one is the first one and features the phrase, “Your Mum loves a sexy pony”. So i guess its called Episode 1: Your Mum loves a sexy pony.
