The Phileas Club 210 - I want to talk about the new podcasters


Contributors:

Patrick does podcasts for a living and hails from France (and often Finland) with his wonderful wife and two kids.


Alec is a middle-class white American dude originally from the suburbs of Chicago. He moved to the French/Swiss border almost exactly 3 years ago to do PhD research at CERN, and now lives with his wife in Clermont-Ferrand on a research contract. He moved knowing no French and expecting to be there for just one year, but for so many reasons he decided to stay there permanently.


Bruce does not do podcasts and has no wife but has two wonderful kids and is happily divorced! He lives in Scotland living the lower-middle class dream, originally from Zimbabwe but moved several times over the years. He works as a data monkey for a Health and Social Care Partnership and loves to play computer games even at 48... recently back into World of Warcraft and re-learning how to play bass guitar, which is apparently not like riding a bike.


And finally the Bruce "The Self Indulgent" Woodward also produces the show.

Dan was born in a small city and moved to bigger places until he found his home in Mexico City. Far from the cows and the ranch, he has worked in advertising, taught classes, and enjoys making podcasts—even if it sometimes feels like podcasting will never catch on. He’s also a tech enthusiast and an AI skeptic—not because he doesn’t know how to use the latest digital toys, but because he uses them constantly, and his main job is fixing the things the robot overlords don’t (yet) know how to solve.


You can find him as DanCampos on Bluesky and X, or just google “Noticias de Tecnología Express” or “Churros y Palomitas” and you’ll see his face.


And finally the Bruce "Title-less" Woodward produces the show.

Contributors:

Patrick does podcasts for a living and hails from France (and often Finland) with his wonderful wife and two kids.


Born in the 80s, Matthias is a millennial who grew up with the promise of a brave new world with jet packs and warp drive, only to end up in whatever this is right now. On his way he studied political science, which makes him despair every time he overhears people talk about politics on the train but also made him want to explain to people how political systems actually work. Which he also got to do for an international audience on the Phileas Club. He has lived in different parts of the country over the years but is now based in the southwest of Germany, near the French border, where he follows some of his nerdier passions and is working for a non-profit organization running a maker space and supporting repair initiatives.


Paul was born in Winnipeg Manitoba, and moved to Calgary Alberta at the age of 14. He has now lived in Alberta for almost 30 years. He is a father of 2, a 13 year old boy and a 10 year old girl. He has been married for 17 years. He enjoys PC gaming and summer outdoor activities like Cycling and running.

Contributors:


Patrick does podcasts for a living and hails from France (and often Finland) with his wonderful wife and two kids.


Born in the 80s, Matthias is a millennial who grew up with the promise of a brave new world with jet packs and warp drive, only to end up in whatever this is right now. On his way he studied political science, which makes him despair every time he overhears people talk about politics on the train but also made him want to explain to people how political systems actually work. Which he also got to do for an international audience on the Phileas Club. He has lived in different parts of the country over the years but is now based in the southwest of Germany, near the French border, where he follows some of his nerdier passions and is working for a non-profit organization running a maker space and supporting repair initiatives.

Phileas Club 184: Hey Phileas, here's the new format

📅 Fri, 02 May 2025 ⏱ 43m 🔴 acast

Here we are! This is the first evolution of the new format: we're going from "Patrick talks" to "Patrick talks, but also you sometimes get 'letters' from different people around the world telling you what's happening in their corner of the planet".


There won't necessarily be contributor segments for every episode, but I do hope it will be a very regular occurrence. I think it's a really good way to get a bit more of the spirit that makes this show special, and I hope you enjoy it too. :)


And this week I'm incredibly thankful to welcome John from Australia and Paul from Canada (short bios just below). Many many many thanks to both. Many thanks also to Bruce, who's being kind enough to help me out with production.


And if you're interested in becoming a contributor like John and Paul, please feel free to fill out this form:

Oh and we are going with a generic / symbolic greeting with "Hey Phileas" as an opener. I explain why I think it works in my segment. I also talk about how Thunderbolts and super heroes and not so super heroes relate to our current... situation. No spoilers, I promise.


Have a lovely week end, and talk to you soon.

Hey all. I'm pretty defeated... I guess you can hear that in my voice. But I try not to let that affect me too much, there's podcasts to record.

Phileas Club 178: The Phileas Club 178 - I'd Rather Have That Than Nothing

📅 Wed, 05 Feb 2025 ⏱ 58m 🔴 acast

Hey I'm back! And swearing! Maybe a bit too much. But it is an hour long show, so maybe the rate of expletives is acceptable.


So what's on the menu today? Well, after a 10 minutes introduction I go on to talk about the situation in the US (mostly in incomprehensible rantings), and the I explain why all of this is your fault. Mostly it has to do with wokes being obnoxious and trust in government being eroded by populists and media (and everyone in America if we're being honest). Is it ok if I put a smiley here?


Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, but most of all I hope it makes some sense.

Let me know what you think.

Phileas Club: The Phileas Club - S5. Atheism for dummies

📅 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 ⏱ 1h 26m 🔴 acast
As you can imagine, this show talks about Atheists and their views.
When I mentioned I wanted to do a show on the topic, I got more interest from readers and followers than ever before. Many offered to be on the show, which I am very thankful for; I am sorry I couldn't include everyone who offered their input. We did manage to assemble an excellent panel though, and while we did tackle Atheism in all the ways I hoped we would, we also talked about many topics related to it. It is inevitable I suppose; as this is one of the most debated issues I know, we couldn't really expect to focus solely on that one idea. I hope that listeners will get both information and entertainment out of the show, and I do welcome any comment on the blog. Each time we have discussed a controversial topic after one of my blog posts, we have managed to keep things civilized and polite, and my wish for this one (if people wish to discuss) is that it stays that way. I'm confident we will (because we're all so awesome :) but it bears repeating...
Thanks again to the panelists, and thanks even more to you for listening.

Roger from East Meets West (and from San Francisco) and Mohammed "the kid" from Qatar join me in this episode as we wait for that guy from Saudi Arabia to remember he's due for our panel.

Petty much as usual.
Some of the topics we talk about include: police violence at the G20, Talibans resurgence, Ahmadinejad at the Durban II conference, Obama and south America and the EU elections.

Phileas Club: The Phileas Club - S2. Republicans for dummies.

📅 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 ⏱ 2h 4m 🔴 acast
In this second special we take on the whole GOP! Well, maybe not, but Brian,Richard and Randy take on the difficult task of explaining to a poor silly Frenchman what the Republican party and ideas are all about.

We talk about the (often caricatured) media portrayal of their views as well as the major issues that seem to drive a wedge between the left and the right, and that often seem to be considered as extremes in many parts of the world: taxes, government reach, religion, arms control and much more.

We hope you enjoy the show and find that you understand the reasoning behind the republican's ideals a little bit better, or at least that you have fun listening to our ramblings!

📅 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 ⏱ 1h 10m 🔴 acast
Two newcomers join the club. Maria from Sweden and Charles from Singapore complete this month's trio. Just to give you a quick preview, let me tell you what titles I was thinking about for the episode: "Earth Hour in the Nude" and "Fun Swedish Nurse Stories". Yes, I know!
So we had a lot of fun during the show, but we also tackled serious issues though, like "these tough economic times" (drink), the pope's controversial statements and the ICC's latest rulings. As well as pirate trials in Sweden, the end of French open bars and stories from Singapore that you won't know whether you should laugh at or feel sad about...
Enjoy!

Phileas Club: The Phileas Club - 10. Usans.

📅 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 ⏱ 2h 17m 🔴 acast
It's seems I'm unable to keep the show to a reasonable length... No matter, with guests like Tom (from the US), Julio (from Argentina/Netherlands/Space) and Turki (from Saudi Arabia), anything less would seem like a waste.

This time we focus around serious and controversial topics like the Australian fires, the Isreali election, the terrorist attacks in Cairo, Hugo Chavez's referendum and the right to be a revisionist, as well as more light hearted topics like the Oscars and the oil companies' secret death rays from space.

Phileas Club: The Phileas Club - S1. Islam for dummies.

📅 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 ⏱ 1h 10m 🔴 acast
Do you ever get tired of thinking in stereotypes and inaccuracies? I know I do, and my knowledge of Islam certainly is vague... but here's an idea: how about sitting down with a Muslim and asking him all sorts of candid questions? Simple enough, right? But maybe you don't have a Muslim right next door to ask him yourself. Well, fear not! The Phileas Club is here to help.

We asked Turki (our resident Saudi panelist) to take us on a tour of the Muslim faith. I also asked Scott (from Utah) to join the discussion and help us ask the best questions we could.
And to make this show even more special we enlisted the help of twitterers around the world, too! Thanks go out to all of those who were kind enough to answer the "instant questions" I asked.

So we hope you'll learn a thing or two about Islam in this episode (or at least that you'll have fun listening to Scott and I make fools of ourselves) and we'll try to bring you more "for dummies" specials in the future.
