The Last Tuesday Project

A group of friends get together once a month thanks to the wonder of modern technology to discuss one topic. That topic can come in the form of either a question, a subject, a claim, or a statement. The thing is, only one of us knows what that topic is going to be. That person shall henceforth be known as the Dimbleby. (It's a long story.) The Dimbleby has two topics in their pocket. They tell us the first one and then the rest of us have the opportunity to veto it based on a majority vote. If we veto the first topic, we hear the second topic. We cannot veto the second topic. You know, just to add a little bit of jeopardy to the whole thing. From that point on we have an hour to each research the topic. We can do it whatever way we want to, either through the internet, or books, or going to the library, or shouting across the road at your neighbour... Once the hour is up, we get back together again and talk about it. The Dimbleby guides us, asks us questions on what we've researched. At the end of it we come to a conclusion. Or not, as the case may be. That brings us to the point of The Last Tuesday Project. This is less about the conclusions we come to, although they can be fun and interesting. It's more about how we get there. Doing this sort of research - looking for evidence, sifting through the crap - is something anyone can do. We don't want to tell you what to think, and we're loathe to say that we want to tell you how to think. What we want to do is give you the tools so that you can come to your own conclusions without being swayed by biased information. Being able to detect fact from fiction, science from pseudoscience, brilliant ideas from bullshit. One group of friends, one topic, one hour to research. Welcome to The Last Tuesday Project.

Mystery within mystery. Misery with misery. And historic references to straw hats and gin? It can only be The Last Tuesday Project!

 

Hayley and Alex are joined by two Guest Tuesdays! First we have Cathryn, pharmacists and friend of Hayley; and second we have Dr Rich Firth-Godbehere, historian and lover of disgust. This month we take a brief look at weird faces before moving on to a certain 19th century poet...

Holidays, health, passive-aggressive pharmacists and ALL THE CATS. It's business as usual for a TWOsday at The Last Tuesday Project!

This month, Alex talks about coming off antidepressants, Jane tries to smuggle codeine into Greece and Hayley looks fondly upon a dead puffin. Plus all the usual off-beat chat that you'll come to expect from an outtakes episode.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Sounds like you guys letting us carry on making this podcast. Welcome to The Last Tuesday Project!

This month Jane has grabbed the reins and landed us with a duo of deep questions. We veto the first question on male hormonal contraception (partly because Hayley's too drunk). Instead, we are forced at knifepoint to accept question of Genovese Syndrome, also known as the Bystander Effect, and how it has been affected by social media.

More often than not, we take our time. But this time we're going for a quickie. It's shorts episode of The Last Tuesday Project!

Alex, Hayley and Jane are asking each other some short-sharp questions this month, questions that are interesting but probably wouldn't fill an entire episode. Hayley asks about exploding cars, Alex wants to know if it's OK to flash in a gallery, Jane makes us morph with binaural beats, and then Alex has the audacity to ask about poison cabinets. Plus, Jane reveals her spirit animal.

Here we are again, reminding you to BE GOOD TO YO' SELF! It's a TWOsday Mental Health Awareness Week special from The Last Tuesday Project!

This month Hayley and Alex are joined by Guest Tuesday and Warcraft YouTuber Kirioth! We talk about antidepressants, specifically SSRIs. Hayley sets us straight on the science behind coming off SSRIs, and we all talk about our own experiences of being on antidepressants, going on them and coming off them.

Hey, you look really cool! No, seriously, let's hang out... Would you like to go out with me? NO?! YOU BITCH! I'M SUCH A NICE PODCAST! I'M THE F***ING LAST TUESDAY PROJECT!

This month Alex assumes the mantle of Dimbleby/Dimblebruce (we're still undecided) and asks Jane and Hayley about Hollywood's responsibility towards social anxiety and love, with a special focus on the trope of the Nice Guy. But the conversation goes far beyond this one area. We move on to looking at the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope, how mental health is portrayed in Bollywood, and how American Pie was actually surprisingly progressive. Plus, Jane hints at her experiences in eateries...

It's high time we gave you some TWOsday goodness. Welcome to this month's extra episode of The Last Tuesday Project!

This month we have a selection of outtakes from the main episode. Hayley talks about genetic sexual attraction, Hayley and Jane both squee over the prospect of going to a live show of another podcast, and Alex and Hayley go through lists of short men we can all look up to. There's also an extended discussion of documentaries, podcasts and a certain royal Netflix series...

The height of sophisticaion has returned. Trust us, we won't give you short shrift. Welcome to a sizeable chunk of The Last Tuesday Project!

Tall tales about short stature are addressed this month, as Hayley takes the reins. Alex and Jane veto a question about genetic sexual attraction and end up with the question of The Napoleon Complex. Is it a thing? Does it only affect men? And how many puns about height can we fit into one episode? You'll find out shortly...

Singing for our supper and talking the hind legs off a donkey (no donkeys were harmed in the making of this episode), it's time for a particularly random extra episode of The Last Tuesday Project!

TWOsday is here again and it's filled with outtakes and random crap from Alex, Hayley and Jane! Hayley's been reading, Jane's been writing, and Alex is still trying to break obsolete equipment.

Hush, keep very still, for the strangest things are about to happen... And now SING AS LOUD AS YOU CAN! It's The Last Tuesday Project!

This month we've gone for a listener question. Evolutionarily speaking, which came first: speech or singing? We barely scratched the surface of this fascinating subject. Take a deep-dive into early man with us!

We know this TWOsday episode will soon be superseded, so make the most of this extra bit of fun from The Last Tuesday Project!

This time, Shaun gives us his response to our main episode about planned obsolescence, while Hayley, Jane and Alex just go off on random tangents.

With a warranty slightly shorter than its expected lifespan, here's this month's episode of The Last Tuesday Project!

This month Alex asks Hayley and Jane about planned obsolescence. Is there a massive conspiracy in the technology industry? How far back does the term's usage go? Are iPhones getting slower? And what's with the lightbulbs?

It's time to get to the root of our resident dentist's thoughts - it's a dental TWOsday from The Last Tuesday Project!

This time we've strapped Shaun into his own chair and are making him answer our own dental questions, on pain of having some of his tools be introduced to various squidgy parts of his anatomy. Is flossing worthwhile? Do we need to use mouthwash? What problems do dentists face in the UK? All this and more in the next 65 minutes.

Canine you believe it... It's a dental-themed episode of The Last Tuesday Project!

In this month's Last Tuesday podcast we finally answer the question that everyone’s been asking… are our minds being controlled by our drinking water? Shaun manages to get Hayley, Jane and Alex to do yet more work for his Masters’ by asking if we should be fluoridating our water supply. What appears to be a simple question turns into a rabbit hole which contains science, ethics and folic acid.

Do you feel that rumbling? Is that the energy within our earth stirring? Nah, it's just this month's episode of The Last Tuesday Project!

This month Hayley asks us whether we should give a frack about fracking. Alex and Jane take a look at the evidence and come across some questionable websites in the process.

You want witty banter? You want swearing? You want adults finding the name "Twenge" funny? You want Scarbella?! You lucky so-and-so - you've got this month's TWOsday episode of The Last Tuesday Project!

This time around we have outtakes from Episode 26 and the upcoming unreleased Episode 27. Jane, Alex, Hayley and Shaun have a laugh at themselves and the world. There's talk about referenda, Hayley's trip to Scarborough, the horrors of people "popping in", and more Twenge than you can shake a stick at.

Shoe-gazers, rejoice! Fans of 80s big-hair rock ballads, take heed! And emo kids, keep... emo-ing... It's time to take another musical deep-dive with The Last Tuesday Project!

This time Shaun and Alex veto Jane's first question (for a special reason) and end up taking on a subject very dear to every Tuesday's heart - The Music Or The Misery. If that quote means anything to you, you're going to love this episode!

Also... Twenge.

Take a break from studying, people! It's this month's TWOsday Extra episode of The Last Tuesday Project!

Alex, Hayley, Jane and Shaun are reminiscing about their days at school. We talk about Jane's school quirks, Hayley's school's French nationalism, Alex's school's Australian nationalism, and the fact that Shaun played golf as part of PE. But he didn't go to a posh school, oh no... Plus, we talk about traumatising Public Information films and British children's TV.

Break time's over, kids. It's time to get back to class and get yourself some learning from The Last Tuesday Project!

This month we are looking at education, with Alex asking a question about class sizes? Hayley and Guest Tuesday Jane diligently research the topic in preparation for the test at the end of the lesson.

TWOsday is upon us! Welcome to another Extra episode of The Last Tuesday Project.

This is an outtakes episode, made up of the flakey offcuts of episodes 23a and 24. It contains practically practically nothing useful, but it does contain much inappropriate humour (with some bits bleeped out for the sake of our own livelihoods). Shaun has hares in his garden, Alex's most depressing book is what he writes after a counselling session, and Hayley introduces us to a toy that can't really be marketed in the UK...

TLTP 002 - Trust Me... I'm An Expert

Welcome to the second episode of The Last Tuesday Project. Each month, this gaggle of rag-tag ruffians meet up to discuss one topic. Only one of us knows what that topic will be, and we get just one hour to research it. The outcome is a podcast full of laughs, stories, facts and tips on how to dig deeper.

This month, Alex, Hayley, Hannah, Shaun, and new recruit David discuss what it means to be an expert. We mull over 10,000 hours (the concept - the episode isn't that long), which sources to trust, the difference between being an expert and having expertise, plus some thoughts on chess.

Plus, this episode features our first topic veto. A decision which we later come to regret...

TLTP 001 - Fungus In Salem

Welcome to the first episode of The Last Tuesday Project! Each month one of us will come up with a topic which the others will spend an hour researching. Then we'll get back together and talk about that subject. Will we come to any conclusions? Who knows! But that doesn't matter - it's the process that counts.

Trust me, it's funnier than it sounds. :-)

This month, Alex, Hannah, Hayley and Shaun are going to be talking about the Salem Witch Trials. What evidence was there for claims that is was the result of ergot poisoning? What other options can we come up with? Plus, other random thoughts about cholera epidemics and "relieving hysteria."

With huge thanks to @strength4life for the use of his music.
