Still Talking with Jono and Rich is the podcast where two former radio hosts prove that even after the mics switch off… they’re still talking. Each episode dives into the everyday annoyances, funny life moments, and ridiculous situations we all face but rarely say out loud. With quick debates, sharp observations, listener-style topics, and Rich’s short “Deep Thought” to finish, it’s honest, relatable, and full of laughs. It’s the kind of chat you’d normally have with your mates — just with microphones on.
Still Talking #171: Longer Weekends, Regrettable Texts & Apparently AI Is Making Everything Wors
Not bragging, but Rich doesn't need alcohol to send text messages he regrets. He can make terrible decisions completely sober, in broad daylight, with full access to his common sense. It's a talent.
Also this episode:
Rich wants a longer weekend. Two days simply isn't enough time to recover from five days of pretending to enjoy work.
Sighing is actually good for you. Finally, a healthy habit Rich has been practising for years without even trying. He should be in fantastic shape.
A quarter of the world is happy without the internet. Who are these people, what do they do all day, and how do they know what everyone else had for dinner?
AI was supposed to make our lives easier. So why is it apparently giving us even more work? We've invented technology to save time and somehow ended up busier than ever.
And finally, Rich has learned one very important lesson this year.
There is no such thing as rock bottom. Things can always get worse.
Just when you think life has thrown everything it possibly can at you, it finds something else down the back of the sofa.
At least Rich can have a good therapeutic sigh about it.

Still Talking #170: Rich Needs a Calendar, Christmas Trees Are Disappearing & Cats Don't Hate Us After All
Rich gets really annoyed when he Googles toxic personality traits and the results describe him instead of the person he was trying to complain about. Honestly, you can't even research someone else's terrible behaviour without getting personally attacked by Google.
Also this episode:
Rich needs a calendar. Apparently keeping track of dates, appointments and whatever day of the week it is has become a full-time job.
A Christmas tree shortage? Jono investigates whether we're about to run out of festive greenery before December even arrives.
Your cat doesn't actually hate you. Good news for cat owners who've spent years wondering why their beloved pet looks at them with such complete contempt.
Rainy season is here. Time to prepare for the weather, the puddles and everyone suddenly becoming an expert meteorologist.
And finally, Rich has worked out that his patience has the shelf life of fresh guacamole.
Lovely in the morning, completely gone by lunchtime.
So if you need something from him, get in early. By 12 o'clock, even the smallest inconvenience could become a personal attack.

Still Talking #169: Christmas Trees Are Already Up, AI Is Doing Kids' Homework & Job Satisfaction Hits Rock Bottom
Jono is still trying to work out how he went from 19 to 39 in what feels like about six months, and Rich is only 24. One minute you're young, carefree and going out every night. The next you're making strange noises when you stand up and getting excited about cancelling plans.
Also this episode:
Rich suffers the worst leg cramp of his life. The sort of pain that has you questioning every decision you've ever made, while wondering whether your leg is actually trying to leave your body.
One in ten people already have their Christmas trees up. It's barely November, but apparently some people have decided we've had quite enough of autumn.
AI is doing kids' homework. Are children getting smarter, or have we just invented a very expensive way to avoid learning anything?
Job satisfaction has apparently hit an all-time low. Is everyone miserable at work, or have we finally stopped pretending we enjoy Monday mornings?
And finally, Rich would love to be one of those relaxed people who simply goes with the flow.
Unfortunately, he needs to know where the flow is going, who's in charge of it and whether there's a backup plan.
Spontaneity is lovely, provided it's been properly organised in advance.
