Ep 186: Somebody is Watching Me
We're joined once again by Terence Power of The Talking Bollox Podcast, as Darren continues his recuperation.It doesn't take long for Terry to get into the Stall It mindset, as we discuss a fear of interstellar jinxes, time capsules designed to cruelly fool humans of the 23rd century, unlucky numbers around the world, the science of that feeling someone is watching you, and the desire to discover another plane of existence - if only just for something to do on a dull evening.

Hats of historical significance catch our imagination this week, as we trawl the past for the ideal headwear.Joe learns he may not hate the Beatles at all, and Darren feels Spotify is lying to him (or about him).There’s a stark admission of just how little money there is to be had from making unloved Christmas songs, and one listener suggests a forfeit as punishment for a recent glaring oversight from Darren and Joe.Send all of your questions and comments to [email protected]
Darren Conway and Joe McGucken present Stall It. Whether it’s a deep dive into mystery, a dose of nostalgia or a wander through the strange worlds of Darren and Joe, Stall It is silly about the serious stuff and serious about the silly. It's the podcast that can go anywhere, with a conversation about an air fryer leaving you discussing your chances of survival in a zombie apocalypse, a childhood memory leading you to re-designing Dublin as a theme park, or a bit of historical trivia leading you down a mysterious rabbit hole.As Joe puts it, it’s “like falling asleep on the bus and waking up in Kimmage, you don't know how you got there."
