In this episode, we welcome two podcasters from 60MW, Ben Ford and Chris Jellyman, who each put out a myriad of shows and content. Ben has been a musician since age 15, playing the guitar. He used to play in a band in the London area and still write and plays songs. He got involved with podcasting when he stumbled across Chris on Twitter. Chris's story begins with a show called, The Same Coin. The video game podcast lasted for several years before running it's course. But, as one door shuts, another opens. Chris joined with the podcast 60MW, then called 60 Minutes With. One of the first shows Chris and Ben do is the video game show, The ABCs of Gaming, where they are joined by Adam Parry. Ben is also part of the ClintCast, where he and podcast owner, Dave Robinson, break down the films of Clint Eastwood in release order. After months of discussion, Ben also launched a new show under the 60MW label called, The ABC's of Fording Ahead. It is a show based on how to stay positive in a challenging world. He is teamed up with Chris Jellyman once again and the newly added Alan Sanders from our own podcast. Chris has other shows as well. He co-hosts the Spotlight Reflection shows with Adam Parry. It is a show where they look back and films (or TV shows) they loved as kids and see if they still hold up today. He also does the Entertainment Show with Dave Robinson, where they look at the latest moves, TV shows and documentaries they've been watching. Chris and Alan have also launched a new limited series under the Soundcheck music shows, breaking down their thoughts on Metallica's discography, in release order.
Movies/Streaming:
Walt is working his way through season 3 of,
"Yellowstone," and loves it and cannot recommend
it enough. He also think fans of the wit and snark of the Airplane
movies should checkout the Netflix series, "Medical
Police." Ben says he will always default to some classics
when he needs a laugh, such as, "Fawlty Towers,"
and, "Friday Night Dinner." He just started season
one of, "Ozark," and really likes it, though
admits it's a heavy show. Chris is starting season 6 of,
"Bosch," and season 5 of, "Brooklyn
Nine-nine." He also recommends,
"Justified," and, "Santa Clarita
Diet." Alan just started season one of,
"Yellowstone," and finished season six of,
"Bosch."
Reading:
Chris recommends two books he just recently completed: "Bond on
Bond," by Roger Moore and, "Can't Hurt Me," by David
Goggins.
Listening:
Walt just started listening to
The Marine Corps Movie Minute podcast. Their first season they
are breaking down the Clint Eastwood flick, "Heartbreak
Ridge." Ben loves a lot of crime-related podcasts and
recommends
True Crime All the Time. He is also listening to
Under Consoletation, a show looking back at a video game
television show, one episode at a time. Chris likes to listen to
Alan's weekly Saturday radio show, "Waking Up with
Alan," and sometimes the following show, "BK on
the Air." He is listening to the audio book,
"Thanks alot, Mr. Kibblewhite," by Roger Daltry of
The Who. Alan recommends everyone should subscribe and listen to
60MW.
