Epic Things with Colin Hoult and Pete Heat
E3: "Let's Call It Yoghurt"
In this, what critics are already calling the “third episode”, Colin Hoult and Pete Heat dredge up some more gleaming nuggets of gold from among the silt that is human existence.
Pete brings an arguably-too-vague subject to the table: The Universe itself. More specifically, the experience of being humbled by its infinite majesty, as presented to us in those photos that came out recently (https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-missions/james-webb-space-telescope-images/), or broken down for us into bite-size chunks by people like professional Pete Heat lookalike Brian Cox.
Colin tells of an amazing theatrical experience that inspired his own work, a frankly insane-sounding piece by the Uninvited Guests ( https://www.uninvited-guests.net/projects/it-is-like-it-ought-to-be-a-pastoral )
In a show that covers gorillas, The Simpsons, speed awareness tests and the imminent transformation of all life forms into crabs, this is truly, without doubt, an episode of a podcast. This podcast.

46:57|It's been a while, but we're back. No guests this time, just two GREAT guys, Colin Hoult and Pete Heat, having a bloody chat m8 about things that we deem epic m8.

5. E5: Plums
46:35||Ep. 5It’s got Colin Hoult. It’s got Pete Heat. It’s got soundwaves in digital form. That’s right: it’s a podcast, baby, and you can stick it in in your ears for a bit if you like.In this episode we talk, as ever, about the wonders of existence, viewed through a lens comprised of things we like. Things you could even call “Epic”. This week, these things include the human body (well, most of it), plum wine served by a man with a square face, and a joyfully absurd hidden camera magic show.We talk about this song: https://youtu.be/dH0WbrGAyH0, This video: https://youtu.be/8gxdjH3QjNUThis restaurant: https://tarorestaurants.uk/soho/ And some other stuff too probably.

4. E4: Attack of the Clagnuts (with Kath Hughes)
01:02:08||Ep. 4This week, Colin Hoult and Pete Heat are joined by their first guest. You may have seen her in After Life, in The End of The F***ing World, in Years and Years, in Tarot (her sketch trio), or in Wales, where she INSISTS she was raised. She’s called Kath Hughes, and she’s bloody lovely. Join us as we attempt to grab hold of some gleaming nuggets of sublime beauty, before thrusting them, beaming, into each other’s faces as if to say “see! See! A thing! An Epic Thing!”This week we talk about a TV show, a book, an 80s band, and some other stuff too if you don’t mind my saying so. See you on the other side.Get followin' Colin at:iamcolinhoult.comtwitter.com/colinhoultinstagram.com/colinhoultcomedyCatch the Pete Heat at:peteheat.co.uktwitter.com/peteheatinstagram.com/peteheatRecorded and Edited by Alex PrestonMusic by Dan Snelgrove
