S02 E01 - We’re Back. Zero Planning.

We’re Back. Zero Planning. We said we were coming back. We didn’t say we’d be organised. In this comeback episode we talk about where we’ve actually been, why Glen refuses to plan anything (including BS Moment of the Week), camera battery drama, and that viral TikTok list everyone’s been debating. Nothing scripted. Nothing filtered. Just us. House of BS is officially back. Youtube - https://youtu.be/zd0mGMzG7WI

Season 1

Party Poopers

This week, Becky and Glen tackle the politics of partying - from having friends with kids to planning a long-overdue adults-only bash. When did everyone get so serious? When did fun start requiring permission slips? And why does adulthood suddenly feel like a spreadsheet with snacks? In Party Poopers (and the Death of the Fun Adult), the House of BS crew unpack how growing up seems to have sucked the joy out of socialising. They also debut a brand-new game, Am I the Buzzkill?, where they test just how guilty they are of killing the vibe. Equal parts chaos, cocktails, and catharsis - it’s a love letter to the art of still having fun. 🎧 Out now wherever you get your podcasts.

If We Ran the World…Would It Be Any Worse?

What started as a bit of fun - making up ridiculous new laws - turned into a surprisingly serious conversation about the state of the world. In this week’s House of BS, we ask the big (and small) questions: what would we change if we actually ran things? From fixing traffic and scrapping long work hours to how fairness, wellbeing, and common sense might do more for humanity than any government ever has. It’s part rant, part therapy, part comedy show, and somehow still a bit of a manifesto. 🎧 “If We Ran the World…Would It Be Any Worse?” - out now wherever you get your podcasts.

Episode 18 - Life Got in the Way (and We Let It)

We disappeared. Vanished. Pulled a full Houdini. But we’re back! Slightly dishevelled, mostly unprepared, and armed with a long list of reasons (some valid, some very much not). In this week’s House of BS, we unpack the chaos that kept us off the mic - from work madness and life overload to the small excuses that snowballed into three weeks of silence. We also test our creative powers in The Excuse Make-Off - because if you can’t be consistent, at least be entertaining. Oh, and of course, our BS Moment of the Week makes its triumphant return. Spoiler: it’s peak nonsense. Grab your snacks, lower your expectations. We’re back, baby. 💜🎙️
