Episode 12: Flash & Burn

TAPBen — Wed, 27 May 2009 17:59:43 CDT

The reason for our out-of-sorts show intro is that Joe had taken it upon himself to get involved in the production of the show. It won't happen again. An actor, a flasher and a candlestick maker are just some of the treats we have lined up for you this week. OK, that last one was made up. Enjoy the show.

Episode 13 - Head Shapes & Skulking

TAPBen — Wed, 27 May 2009 17:59:31 CDT

Last week we took a week off, because Joe was skulking around theme parks with scant regard for the show. That's right, scant. But now we're back with this surprise Wednesday show to make your midweek special.

Episode 8: Pop Rocks & Orlando Jo

TAPBen — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 07:50:28 CDT

Crackly Pop Rocks are fun to eat on the mic, but we balance things out with some serious talk on pigs, and why our very own Jamie Oliver is coming under fire for not telling the world to become vegetarian. Also, Joe shares his dreams of farming, and how he has reinvented himself as 'Orlando Jo'.

Episode 7: Friendships & Squirrels

TAPBen — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 07:49:07 CDT

Sometimes you just have to sit down and talk it out. This show is all about getting some serious Ben and Joe time. Ok, it's also a bit about squirrels, but mainly it's about close friendships between two men, and if it can get "too close for comfort", as Ben sometimes says. You will love this show.

Episode 6: Lame Gifts & Grease Fests

TAPBen — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 07:47:47 CDT

It's always awkward when you're given a gift that's awesome, and you reciprocate with, well, crap. At least not everyone in the world knows about it. Oh wait. Speaking of crap, Ben reports back on a less than satisfactory dinner experience, and Joe shares a sob story from his visit to capital city.

Four months after Series 3 drew to a close, TAP is finally back in the saddle with a kick-off show that’s more fun than a pool party with rabid monkeys where you’re the towel boy. Enjoy!

Episode 13: Short & Sweet

TAPBen — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 06:48:38 CST

Have you ever heard the saying, "It's not quantity but quality that counts"? Well, this week's episode of The Peach has neither quantity or quality. Ok, that's not 100% true. Let's just say it does exactly what it says on the tin. And by tin we mean title.
