  • My Year With the Tribe - with Felix Black
    Jun 4 2024
    This week Team Tortoise welcome Berlin-based editor Felix Black to break the fourth wall with a documentary about documentary making – the controversial BBC series My Year With The Tribe. We talk Ziggy Stardust, Suede, whistle-offs, naked music videos and naked tribespeople. Hopefully the truth will set us all free. And hopefully we’ll see you next week... unless the lawyers get to us first.

  • Bang Goes the Theory - with Natalie Hewit
    May 28 2024
    Team Tortoise welcome Nat Hewit to the studio to talk about TWO things that changed her life; podcast host Kate Dooley, and the BBC 1 popular science show Bang Goes the Theory. Before the Kate Dooley love-in gets too nauseating, we manage to discuss brewing cider, rescuing seamen, puppet Shakespeare and non-Newtonian fluids. Will Alex get a word in edgeways? Will Kate's ego deflate enough to allow her to leave the studio? Listen now to find out.

  • Brian Cox: Can We Make a Star on Earth? - with Rob Hollingworth
    May 21 2024
    The Tortoise Team first met Rob Hollingworth when he was topless, in a shed and dancing to Abba (that's how you get the best timelapses, apparently). Fortunately he's put his shirt back as we discuss the film that literally changed his life - Prof Brian Cox's 2009 Horizon episode Can We Make a Star On Earth? Along the way we talk about rocket launches, northern accents, climbing the Burj Khalifa and taking photos of James Blunt. Can We Make a Star on Earth? Can We Make A Podcast That Occasionally Stays on Topic? The jury is still out for both.
