Three Years of Hemispheric Views Feedback
I recently started listening to the Hemispheric Views podcast and decided I would go back to the start and listen to the 74 previous episodes that I hadn't listened to. I wrote down all my feedback. I started this endevour on the 17th of May and finished the last episode this morning. Jason agreed to this:
We will take any feedback, 3 years old or otherwise haha
In total I listened to just over 58 hours of main show and over ten hours of the one prime plus dot com member show. About ten episodes in I started singing the theme song to Baby Knight.
Main Show
- Roast my desk please
- 001 Jason tried Vegemite, has he tried marmite?
- 002 Martins “Game Boy micro USB” joke wasn’t acknowledged as it should have been
- 003 Did Jason ever develop the 1926 camera film?
- 004 Halloween is the worst "holiday"
- 009 Of course the week starts on Monday, anything else is mayhem
- 009 I watched an episode of Bargearse and it was glorious
- 010 I love picking a random movie that's on TV when I’m away in a hotel or something but never do it at home
- 010 One of favourite bands covered the Round the Twist theme song
- 011 Andrew is a briefcase wanker
- 012 Gabriel’s Orange Lego X-Wing is canon
- 014 What the hell is with Australian nature
- 014 I would die for the Gobbledok
- 014 “Nissan Iambic pentameter” 👏
- 016 Andrew hasn’t seen Batman and Robin?! He should rectify that
- 016 I put a Raspberry Pi camera in an iSight
- 017 "Double digit coffee action" would be a good band name
- 019 My partner spent years using ~$10 headphones. When I gave her my good ones, she was blown away at how good music can sound
- 020 Screw it, I’m making my own asset deprecation spreadsheet
- 020 Sealed triangle toastie is the best toastie type
- 022 Alex makes the media corner theme tune, a few years later he’s in Eurovision. Suspicious.
- 022 The premise of Crackerjack sounds identical to Blackball
- 022 “Perthsuaded” I hate this
- 023 “There still isn’t a good email app on iOS” - Andrew. This is because email is bad, stop looking for your own sanity
- 023 “Everything surrounding email is wrong”
- 023 Here’s my homescreen
- 023 I wish Apple would allow apps to be anywhere on the Home Screen too. Please Tim Apple.
- 023 I have 203 apps installed
- 025 Is Andrew still using the johnny decimal system?
- 027 Game preservation is why I’ve tried as best I can to only buy physical games - currently I have around 300 across a bunch of consoles
- 028 A few years ago we built a Nokia 3310 simulator in the browser
- 029 I wear shoes in the house, life is too short
- 031 I wear the same black socks all year round, regardless of jeans or shorts. All my socks are identical so I don’t have to pair them up. I say no to funny socks
- 031 Perhaps there’s a market for discounted once-used socks, then Jason could have new socks every day
- 031 This is more than I ever needed to know about air conditioning
- 033 I also love going to grocery stores in other countries
- 033 I laughed at Andrew’s joke about going to Cloud 9
- 034 My neighbour works at the Office of National Statistics and it sounds fascinating
- 034 I’ve never seen rocky road with Turkish delight. That sounds incredible.
- 036 I spat my drink out at “FinderJimbo”
- 038 “Clean show”? Jason has definitely sworn on at least 4 episodes
- 038 Movies our spouses don’t like? My partner refuses to watch any Fast and Furious movie despite the fact that I love them
- 038 TODAY!
- 039 I know my neighbours now but didn’t at my last house that I lived at for 10 years. I did what Jason did when we moved and drew a map with names of everyone. It helped that we moved in around Christmas so everyone sent cards with their names
- 040 I am furious Andrew doesn’t use “Grand Canion” as a username everywhere because that is so fucking good
- 040 Pen licence! I never actually got mine because my writing was (and still is) terrible, I outlasted them until year 4 when everyone had to use a pen anyway
- 042 Right at the start Jason swears and isn’t bleeped and then immediately after in the same sentence he is bleeped. No notes, just amused
- 042 That stupid EA Sports intro in burned into my brain from play FIFA World Cup ‘98 on the N64. Immediately after Song 2 by Blur would play so it wasn’t all bad
- 044 Never say “state daddy” again
- 044 Fruit Loops is a garbage cereal. Lucky Charms all the way
- 044 Andrew said the milk on the box looked too white and creamy. That’s because they usually use paint or PVA glue for milk in food photography
- 045 I couldn’t use just spotlight. I have so many workflows I use in Alfred
- 046 The shuffling albums on Spotify drama with Adele was so stupid
- 046 One arcade machine for my house? Time Crisis 2
- 046 It’s 7am here and a breakfast lasagne sounds amazing
- 046 What happened to Decimeal
- 049 “I don’t know if anyone does this but go back to the beginning of the RSS archive, apparently people have other things to do” - Martin
- 049 The formal intro thing is unsettling
- 050 What on earth was all this Dolly Parton talk?!
- 051 I hadn’t considered the comparison to Dharma for Severance but that is an excellent observation
- 051 🛎️ More Dolly Parton
- 051 I watched Severance in one night until 6am while sleep-deprived when Baby Knight was born. It definitely gave it a different vibe
- 052 Another recommendation for Punk Rock Factory: We Don't Talk About Bruno cover
- 053 The people saying sorry too much thing is a problem in the UK as well, I hate it
- 054 I refuse to listen to podcasts that have dynamically inserted ads
- 054 I have a disappearing dock and like it. Sorry Natasha
- 055 My MX Master works fine on Bluetooth
- 057 Martin on Elon buying Twitter “I’m cautiously optimistic that something really useful will happen and it will change for the better”
- 058 My entrance music would be Not the Same by Bodyjar because it’s a banger
- 059 I’m scared to do bad show notes lest I feel the wrath of Jason

- Back to the Future (I even have a Back to the Future tattoo)
- Hot Fuzz
- Baby Driver
- Captain America: Winter Soldier
- Straight Outta Compton
- 070 Benji said he doesn’t like the yellow bit of eggs. Notable.
- 070 “Be more negative” - Benji
- 072 Martin will hate this sign from a UK chain where “everyday” should be two words
- 074 My favourite photos from 2022:
A phone box in Edinburgh
The Edinburgh skyline at night
Having a drink in front of the Pantheon
one prime plus dot com member show
- 01 Now I need to make a home wiki
- 02 The eighties were sexy
- 06 This number plate story is wonderful
- 06 In the UK we didn’t line dance at school, but we did Morris Dance
- 07 I started podcasting because I said, kind of as a joke, “Lets do a podcast?” to John Voorhees ~8 years ago
- 07 “Am I being too intense?” - Martin. No Martin, you crack on.
- 08 I guessed before I listened: I think Jason is tallest, then Andrew, then Martin.
- 08 UK folks uses imperial for height and a lot of the time weight as well. Oh and speed limits and distances are usually imperial too.
- 08 You are all very tall
- 09 The health insurance I have through work has a scheme to get a discounted Apple Watch if you do a certain amount of steps/exercise minutes every week
- 013 My mum was a social worker her entire career. I remember her saying “are you sure about these computers as a job?” when I was 16. Maybe she was right.
- 013 I have it on good authority that a lot of universities use group work so the students who are doing worse still pass because they get paired up with one or two people who will do the work
- 016 My pre-teen photo, 5 years old on my last day of a holiday in Cyprus:
- 016 wtf is ham sauce for beans
- 019 The kebab story 👏
- 020 A half onesie is mayhem
- 021 I view someone not voting essentially as a vote for the “winner”. Ultimately if you didn’t vote, you don’t have the same legitimacy to complain as someone who did.
- 023 Wogman. Just…wow. Incredible.
- 024 I will not download Day One again. I will not download Day One again.
- 026 I’ve been really enjoying Omnivore for my read later stuff
- 027 Arc is definitely a “have you heard the good word” product for sure
- 027 I like my gum the standard format
- 029 Andrews ability to improvised over-the-top intros is amazing
- 029 Food pleasures: crisps, literally any crisps

- 031 We need a Mastodon instance called Screacher
- 032 Sorry Jason the opening the crisps with scissors thing is weird
