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.

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.

 

Our next TWOsday episode, Episode 25a, will be released on Tuesday 14th August 2018.

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...

Bad luck comes in threes, they say. So let's get it all out of the way quickly with a triple-quick-fire episode of The Last Tuesday Project.

 

We're almost two years in, so we thought we'd change things up a bit for an episode. Instead of one question and taking an hour to answer, Hayley suggested that we try three smaller questions - ones that probably wouldn't take an hour to answer - and pack them all into one handy-to-manage episode! In this eclectic episode, Hayley asks if Caesar was captured by pirates, Alex asks about Myers-Briggs, and Shaun asks about fibromyalgia. Plus, you have a lot of outtakes to look forward to in the extra episode.

 

Our next TWOsday episode, Episode 24a, will be released on Tuesday 10th July 2018.

The common people have assembled once more for another TWOsday Extra episode of The Last Tuesday Project!

This month we talk about stuff from the 90s, evidence-based sales the Five Stages Of Skepticism.

Avast, me hearties! It's time to walk a musical plank as we plunge into the sea of The Last Tuesday Project!

This month we went to our postbag and grabbed a couple of listener questions. We ended up plumping for a question from Simon (@flatsquid) about piracy and the music business. We go back to the late 19th century to music piracy's paper origins, mixtapes, insufficient data and gospel music in Kenya.

Hope you've been treating yourself well, because it's time for this year's Mental Health Awareness Week episode, another delightful TWOsday brought to you by The Last Tuesday Project.

This time around it's just Alex and Shaun. The aim was to talk about male mental health, but we ended up talking about all sorts of other things, from how male mental health affects feminism, to social media, and with a little on our own experiences.

Send your Likes this way... it's time for The Last Tuesday Project!

 

It's time for our annual mental health episode! Shaun is this month's Dimbleby, but Alex and Hayley veto his first question on Johann Hari. This leaves everyone with the question of how social media affects our mental health. We find some interesting (and not-so-interesting) research in journals which can't have existed 10 years ago, talk about apps which might help with managing your social media usage, and muse on our own usage of social media.

TRIGGER WARNING: We talk about mental health issues in this episode, including anxiety and depression.

Welcome to this month's TWOsday episode of The Last Tuesday Project.

 

For this episode, Hayley had the excellent idea that we should talk about our favourite Romans. We did this... but it took us a little while to get there. IKEA meatballs, defunct British brands, kennel cough, and remote Norfolk villages were all subjects we nattered on about until we got to the main feature. Afterwards we discussed password security and Episode 3 of the What Doctors Don't Tell You podcast (we listen so you don't have to).

TRIGGER WARNING: At around 52 minutes, during the WDDTY section, we talk about antidepressants and suicide. If you don't feel comfortable with these subjects, please feel free to skip the end of this episode.

Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Welcome to the Last Tuesday Project!

 

In this episode, Alex asks an unusual question... Do all roads really lead to Rome? Hayley and Shaun puzzle over this, covering the manipulation of data, whether roads actually lead away from Rome, and how many dinari it would cost to get from Lindum Colonia to Roma. All this, plus plenty more, in this week's historic (and ambling) episode.

Welcome to this month's TWOsday episode of The Last Tuesday Project.

 

We spend a brief 10 minutes talking about the topic of the main episode, before revisiting the subject matter of Episode 7. The latest episode of the What Doctor's Don't Tell You podcast spent some time discussing the subject of breast cancer screening and some associated subjects, and we thought that we would take some time to discuss what they say. Finally, we look at the recent furore surrounding Brew Dog's Pink IPA campaign, as well as other "awareness" campaigns.

Ooh, matron! It's The Last Tuesday Project!

 

This month is a listener's questions special! We offer thanks to Daniel Pott for his two splendid questions. We ended up vetoing the first question on radiosensitivity (in spite of our interest in the subject), and went on to look at the Weekend Effect. Are you really more likely to die if you are admitted to hospital on a weekend than on a weekday? Would the infamous "7 Day NHS" fix such an issue? How much is fact, and how much is politics?

It's a brand new year, and we're sending you a post-festive-season gift. It's this month's TWOsday episode of The Last Tuesday Project!

This time we're giving you a selection of outtakes and deleted scenes, full of off-topic nonsense and random claptrap. Alex, Hayley, and Shaun get together with Simon, Episode 18's Guest Tuesday.

Merry Tuesday, you filthy animals! Welcome to episode 18 of The Last Tuesday Project!

It's Boxing Day in the UK, which is kind of like a second Christmas, so consider this episode our slightly belated Christmas gift to you. Aren't you lucky!

 

This month Alex, Hayley and Shaun are joined by Guest Tuesday Simon. We all surprise each other by vetoing a question on the Placebo Effect and end up talking at great length about Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). Is there any evidence for it working? What are its origins? And why won't anyone give Hayley a straight answer as to what it is?!

 

Our next TWOsday episode, Episode 18a, will be released on Tuesday 9th January 2018.

It's TWOsday! It's almost Christmas! HAVE AN EXTRA EPISODE!

 

In this extra episode, we talk to the Old News boys about all sorts of random things. We also talk amongst ourselves about the main topic of Episode 17, plus a little about the current situation in Jerusalem.

Help! We've been infiltrated by another podcast!

This month at The Last Tuesday Project we have the pleasure of being joined by our friends over at the Old News podcast. Russell and David not only act as our joint Dimblebies this month, but also our first Guest Tuesday Dimblebies.

Alex, Hayley and Shaun decided to veto a question on the Genome Project and instead ended up with their trickiest research subject yet - a question related to the Orlando shooting in 2016.

 

Our next TWOsday episode, Episode 17a, will be released on 12th December.

This episode contains the irreverent chit-chat you usually find from us, with added Tammy. Enjoy!

Prepare yourself for a podcast filled with fright, for 'tis the Hallowe'en special of The Last Tuesday Project!

 

As this episode is out on Hallowe'en, we felt it appropriate to do something a little different, and a little spooky. Hayley is our Dimbleboo!, while Shaun and Alex cower in a corner, and Guest Tuesday Tammy stands with her wooden stake, ready to do whatever she has to. Yes, folks, we're talking vampires!

Welcome to another TWOsday episode of The Last Tuesday Project! This time we go back to what we're good at - very off-topic descents into the jammiest of rabbit holes.

We welcome back Kirioth as a Guest Tuesday, and have a sneak preview of an appearance by Russell and David from the Old News podcast! They'll be along in Episode 17.

Welcome to a (slightly belated) episode of The Last Tuesday Project! Sorry about the delay, folks. Alex had a bit of a mare with his audio editing software telling him he'd saved stuff when it clearly hadn't. Not that he's bitter or anything...

 

This month is a guest question episode, courtesy of Patreon donor Stephen Douglas. We decided not to talk about whether climate change had any good elements (although we all agreed that it was an interesting topic), which meant that we had the opportunity to talk about Twitter!

Also, this month we welcome back Kirioth as a Guest Tuesday! He's far funnier than we are, and we're sure you're going to enjoy listening.

 

Our next TWOsday episode, Episode 15a, will be released on 10th October.

Welcome to another TWOsday episode of The Last Tuesday Project! This time, because we're all currently busy dealing with something called Life, we've put together a selection of outtakes from the last few months. All irreverent, and mostly completely irrelevant to the episodes during which they were recorded. Enjoy!

 

With thanks, as always, to Strong4Life for the use of his music.

Aug 29, 2017

Let me take you on a journey through time, many Tuesdays ago...

This month on The Last Tuesday Project we take a closer look at the so-called Dark Ages (more accurately known as the Early Middle Ages). Alex asks Hayley and Shaun to look into something which, on the surface, seems a little ludicrous - did a comet have anything to do with those "Dark" times? In true clickbait style, what we find out may surprise you...

We also investigate the origin of the term "Dark Ages", and what exactly constitutes a Dirty Snowball?

Welcome to our birthday party - this month, The Last Tuesday Project is a year old! And we've decided to give ourselves a birthday present by talking about a subject we're all a little obsessed with... the phenomenon that are numbers stations.

Shaun acts as Dimbleby, while Alex and Hayley dig deep into this fascinating and somewhat conspiratorial subject. Alex goes off on one about the nerdy parts of this subject, and Hayley shows her ghoulish side.

And, for once, here are the show notes! (Yes, I know, I'm as shocked as you.)

 

Did you miss Shaun and Alex embarrassing themselves by taking a maths test for a ten year old? In that case you should go back and listen to Episode 12a.

Our next TWOsday episode, Episode 13a, will be released on 8th August.
