Nobody Cares What You Think

About Nobody Cares What You Think

Two cynical mates, a failed music producer turned corporate and a producer who escaped teaching talk music, gigs, culture, and middle-aged nonsense from a recording studio. Nobody asked for their opinions. They're giving them anyway.

   My Kingdom For A Pub In The Garden

   A first for Nobody Cares What You Think: a listener hill, sent in by voice note, people who build pubs in their back gardens are weird. Jamie and Richard take it apart, defend it, and decide whether a shed with optics is a midlife crisis in timber form. Keep the voice notes coming. The worse the hill, the better. Richard has discovered Marquee TV and gone deep on Shakespeare, specifically Richard II and Richard III and everything around them. A man called Richard, watching plays called Richard, explaining them to Jamie. Jamie took the Shakespeare lesson in good spirit. Mostly. Also this week: The Celebrity Traitors is back and Richard E Grant was picked as a Traitor and then just told everyone, which must have been a real headache for the producers. Jamie took Bella to the Derby Computer Museum and found the PlayStation 1 behind glass, which means he is now officially a museum exhibit. He’s started the new season of Slow Horses, is reading Robert Harris’s Imperium and failed to get Oasis tickets. And Jamie experienced the Watford Gap drink. That’s all we’ll say. Plus: new photos, a new thumbnail on the way, and a video special coming to Instagram. They have faces for podcasts. They’re doing it anyway.

   The One Where Jamie Was Hungover

   Jamie arrived. Richard carried him. That's the episode. In fairness, Jamie rallied. They tried Richard's green tea — Jamie was not a fan. They talked about the Invention festival in Derby, Richard's ongoing library decoration project, his discovery of a waygo, and his decision to do his own electrics which absolutely nobody asked him to do. Jamie recounts his Odysseus-style journey from the Netherlands back home. Richard shares his newfound joy of terrible rosé wine. Richard's hill: people with oversized cars should not be parking in standard supermarket spaces. Jamie feels personally victimised and does not agree. The hill stands. Also this week: Jamie describes his funeral dress code in some detail — there will be a door person. Richard has been reading The Chrysalids. Jamie loved the Grand Tour. They have a strange conversation about whether people can think in images. Richard bought Jamie a Tayto crisps tote bag and a Skyrim pillowcase as gifts, which says everything you need to know about Richard. Finally: Jamie and Richard announce new shorts and discuss a potential video episode special. They have faces for podcasts. They know this.

   Looking Back In Anger: At Currys

   Jamie and Richard are back after the summer and they have things to say. Richard travelled the length and breadth of the UK for various reasons and has the motorway service station opinions to prove it. Jamie went to AEW All In and lived his best life. Then Jamie watched the new Oasis film and has a review, how did it land, does it do justice to the mythology, and what does it say about our relationship with nostalgia and bands we grew up with? Jamie's hill this week: the utterly abysmal process of buying anything from Currys. The experience is broken from start to finish and there is no excuse for it. Richard pushes back big time. Jamie is not moved. Then they turn to gaming. Where is it right now, where is it going, and what does the subscription model actually mean for the future of how we play and what gets made? A proper conversation about something both of them care about. Good to have them back.

   Richard Has A New Podcast Friend And Jamie Is Not Okay

   Richard went to Download with his mate. He enjoyed it so much he invited said mate to contribute via voice note — a special guest addition that Jamie was not consulted on and is not happy about. There is a new podcast friend. Jamie is hurt. The friendship is being evaluated. On the music: Limp Bizkit were genuinely great. Guns N Roses were comically bad. Linkin Park were frustratingly bad. Richard has thoughts on all of it and his mate has thoughts via voice note whether Jamie likes it or not. Richard's hill: camping chairs should be allowed at festivals. Jamie mocks him instantly. Richard doesn't care — he turns it into a broader and entirely justified rant about Live Nation, their festival rules, and the case for better disabled access at live events. The chair is fine. The system is the problem. Jamie went to a wedding in France in 40 degree heat, made a mad dash to pick his child up after landing back in the UK, and has been watching Clarkson's Farm — which comes with the complication of having complicated feelings about Jeremy Clarkson. Ride or Die on Amazon also gets a mention. Then there's a bolt on — Richard talks about Bloodstock, a total contrast to Download in every conceivable way. Richard also advertises Invention, a new Derby festival worth knowing about. The advert goes so well that Jamie and Richard formally invite VPN companies and mattress brands to get in touch. They will not be getting in touch.

   Cash Only? Are You Having A Laugh?

   Jamie went to Matlock Bath and tried to buy an ice cream. They said cash only. Jamie was not having it. This week's hill to die on: there is no excuse for a business not taking card in 2025. None. The technology exists, it is affordable, and choosing to be cash only is either laziness, bloody-mindedness, or something else entirely. Richard has a counter argument. Jamie is not interested. Also this week: the new Prime Minister visited Derby. Jamie's partner was there. Jamie seized the moment and asked her to invite him on the podcast. She did not pass the message on. The dream lives on regardless. The World Cup is coming. FIFA continues to be FIFA. Odyssey — the film — gets a brief review. MCR at Wembley happened and it was incredible, anniversary tour hill or not. Jamie also tells Richard off for saying less when he means fewer. Richard is not sorry. And then there is the Nerds Den. One big, definitive Temu camping report. Richard went into the wilderness with £60 of questionable gear and came back with stories, field recordings, and an Aztec death whistle. Yes, really.

   Two Months Late and Still Right: We Review The Mandalorian and Grogu

   Two Months Late and Still Right: We Review The Mandalorian and Grogu Nobody Cares What You Think arrives fashionably late to the cultural zeitgeist this week as Jamie and Richard finally review The Mandalorian and Grogu — two months after release, completely unashamed, and with plenty to say. They loved it. They have thoughts. Grogu's character development remains as stunted as his growth and Star Wars needs to be brave enough to do something about it. Richard's hill this week: trailers on streaming platforms can get in the bin. If he wanted to see a trailer he would look for one. He did not ask for one to autoplay the moment he hovered over a synopsis on Netflix. This then becomes a broader and entirely justified rant about adverts on streaming services, the slow and infuriating creep of the things that made cable television unbearable finding their way onto platforms people pay specifically to avoid them. Also this week: what they've been up to, where Star Wars goes from here, books they have actually read, Five Go Nowhere, and how much land does a man need. A good one. Worth the wait.

   Actually, We Care What Kirk Thinks

   For the first time in Nobody Cares What You Think history, there is a guest. His name is Kirk. He runs Trendng, an independent culture and music platform covering Derby and beyond, and unlike most people Jamie and Richard talk about, they genuinely wanted to hear what he had to say. The conversation covers how Trendng started, what it actually takes to run independent cultural coverage, and why the stories coming out of smaller cities and smaller venues matter more than anyone with a national platform seems to notice. What's old is new again — grassroots culture is having a moment and Kirk is one of the people paying attention to it. Kirk's hill to die on: it is perfectly fine to film at a gig on your phone. Just don't spend the whole night looking through it. Jamie and Richard have thoughts. Richard also unveils his latest Nerds Den purchase — a purpose built case specifically designed to organise batteries. Jamie is not having it. A zip lock bag does the same job. Richard disagrees. This is who these people are. A brilliant first guest episode. More where this came from.

   The Great Tea Debate: Now That's A Hill To Die On

   Jamie and Richard have strong opinions about tea. Neither will back down. This is where we are. Get the popcorn. Also this week: Richard has been systematically watching Cheers from the beginning and has arrived at a deeply unsettling conclusion — your parents were right, it has all been done before, and Friends basically nicked the lot. He went to see an experimental artist and has thoughts. He also tells a story about the film London Road that Jamie still doesn't fully understand by the end, and frankly neither will you. Jamie bought tickets to the My Chemical Romance Black Parade anniversary tour at Wembley. Regular listeners will remember Richard's hill in Episode 6. Jamie would like it noted that he is aware of the irony. Main topic: are we just getting old, or was the old stuff genuinely better? Does anything feel properly unmissable anymore the way things used to? The World Cup is coming, MCR are doing anniversary tours, and Richard is watching a sitcom from 1982. Make of that what you will. The tea debate is resolved. Sort of. Not really.

   Turkey Techno and the End of Civilisation

   Richard built a barbecue. It didn't go to plan. His wife put the food in the oven. Jamie thinks pre-cooking in the oven before finishing on the barbecue is perfectly reasonable. Richard thinks that's the coward's way out. This is where we are. Also this week: Richard went to see Richard Birkin with a string quartet, recorded with his secret band that isn't remotely secret, got deep into plugins versus real hardware, and played a sound he could not get out of his head. Jamie travelled to Ireland, Bristol, and Rotterdam — the Eurostar felt like a Jason Bourne film and he wants Eurostar and Air BnB to sponsor the podcast. He saw Project Hail Mary and makes the case that Ryan Gosling is our generation's Steve McQueen. Richard got in trouble with his wife over his audiobooks-aren't-reading hill. Jamie actually read a book. Richard's hill: neighbours playing loud music in the garden and screaming at Alexa. His solution — get in first and play his own terrible music. A battle is ensuing. He is officially an old man. Jamie doubles down on loud speakers on public transport, the pointlessness of FaceTime, and the case that the phone speaker is the worst invention of all time. Jamie has been rewatching The Newsroom. A show made over ten years ago that holds a mirror to everything happening now — and we still haven't learned. Black Mirror enters the conversation. So does The Thick of It. So does San Junipero, uploading consciousness, and the Ray Ban glasses that are basically the Black Mirror contact lens episode made real. If the world we're living in now had been written as fiction ten years ago, nobody would have believed it. Also: Jamie's advice in the event of a nuclear explosion is to get as close to it as possible. Richard explains that if we were horses our music would be different. There is a turkey impression. There is Turkey Techno. Don't ask. The episode ends with Jamie and Richard heading to a local electronic music gig. Jamie is going to get pissed. Richard is his carer.

    Special Episode - The Cultural Exchange: Eurovision

    Richard Makes Jamie Watch Eurovision. Special Episode. The cultural exchange is complete. Jamie made Richard watch WrestleMania. Richard made Jamie watch Eurovision. Jamie went in sceptical, came out grudgingly impressed, and has opinions about the voting system that won't surprise anyone. Bulgaria won. Richard is insufferably right about all of it. The deal is done.

    AI Please Don't Kill Us (We Said Please)

    Richard has been to Scunthorpe. The city view from his hotel was a Sainsbury's and a solicitor's. He also went to see David Icke — yes, really! He is convinced Jamie missed out. Jamie does not agree. This week Jamie dies on the hill that everyone needs to calm down about AI in both directions, the people saying it's going to destroy humanity and the people saying it's useless are both wrong. Richard thinks the whole thing is disingenuous. What follows is one of their better arguments: touching on the Luddite revolution, AI music creation, whether a ghost-written novel is any different to one written with AI, doctors using ChatGPT, and the strawberry paradox. Also: Jamie admits he says please and thank you to AI. Just in case. Then Richard buys a microphone off Temu that claims to replicate a world class studio mic. It does not. In Nerds Den, now also known as Random Shit Richard Has Bought, the results are assessed. Also: Bob Mortimer is a comic genius and this is not up for debate. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with someone who needs it. Or someone who doesn't. Especially your enemies. Like, subscribe, and we'll see you in a fortnight.

    Stop Flogging the Dead Horse

    Jamie's been to Disneyland Paris, Richard's been to the Shepherd's Bush Empire, and somehow both trips end up in the same conversation, are we being sold experiences or just parted from our money in increasingly creative ways? Richard dies on the hill that anniversary tours need to stop and bands need to know when to quit. Ticket prices, theme parks, and the growing suspicion that someone is always making money out of your good time. Plus: the intro that refused to behave, and Richard's continued refusal to touch the Instagram page. We're now on Instagram at @ncwytpodcast and you can reach us at hello@nobodycarespodcast.co.uk (mailto:hello@nobodycarespodcast.co.uk) we want your hills. The things you'd die on. The opinions everyone tells you are wrong. Send them in and we'll argue about them on air.

    Special Episode - The Cultural Exchange: WrestleMania.

    This is a special. No hills, no topics, no format. Jamie making Richard sit through WrestleMania as part of a cultural exchange nobody asked for but everyone needed. Richard went in sceptical. Richard came out changed. The deal was WrestleMania for Eurovision, so consider this fair warning, Richard's revenge is coming, and it involves sequins.

    Everything Is Connected (And We're Sick of It)

    Jamie dies on the hill that the Star Wars prequels deserve more credit than they get. Richard disagrees. Then they tackle the bigger question, why does every piece of culture now need to be part of something larger, and when did standalone become a dirty word?

    That's Not Reading, That's Just Listening

    Richard did his Bee Gees homework and it's only made him worse. Jamie went to see Prima Facie. Then: are audiobooks actually reading? Richard says no. After that, long form vs short form gaming, the backlog problem, and what abandoning a save file says about you as a dad. Got a hill? We want it hello@nobodycarespodcast.co.uk (mailto:hello@nobodycarespodcast.co.uk) or @ncwytpodcast on Instagram.

    Episode 3: The Hill Jamie Doesn't Quite Believe In

    Richard is using Arts Council funding to experiment with creative recording sessions with musicians, starting with a harp player, and gets into the details of microphone placement and what he's trying to achieve. Jamie has been watching Pluribus on Apple TV and makes it his mission to get Richard on board. In "I Will Die on This Hill," Jamie argues that the moral panic around children's screen time is performative nonsense and what actually matters is what they're watching, then almost immediately admits he's not sure he fully believes his own argument. That leads into a proper conversation about Stranger Things finally ending, whether it sticks the landing, and the broader question of why so many beloved shows fall apart at the finish line. Fan expectations, showrunner pressure, and whether any ending can ever actually satisfy anyone.

    Episode 2: Richard Vs The Beatles

    Jamie went to see Radiohead and has thoughts, mostly about the fact they didn't play Creep and whether that's artistic integrity or just being awkward. Richard spent New Year sober and has strong opinions about Jools Holland's Hootenanny. There's a trip to the snooker, a heated "I Will Die on This Hill" where Richard argues the Beatles are massively overrated, and a conversation about support bands, including Jamie's borderline obsessive appreciation for Brigette Calls Me Baby, who he discovered supporting Morrissey. The lads also get into influencer culture creeping into music and acting, and Richard's Nerd Den this week involves spending £1 on a device that is technically both a speaker and a phone. Somehow this takes longer to explain than it should.

    Episode 1: We Exist, Apparently

    Jamie and Richard introduce themselves, explain why they're doing this, and immediately start arguing. In their first ever "I Will Die on This Hill" segment, Jamie makes the case that professional wrestling deserves to be taken seriously as entertainment, whilst Richard remains unconvinced. Richard then defends Five Guys milkshakes as the gold standard of fast food shakes, but argues the price makes them impossible to justify. That descends into a broader conversation about whether quality is ever actually worth the premium. It's the first episode. Nobody asked for it. Here it is anyway.
