Feckology

We chat about "one-sided" social media relationships, and our experiences with how we present our personalities to others, online and offline.

In today's episode, the Big Mouse and @feckinmetalcast reflect on the Decline of Drinking Culture including changes in how we socialize, consume entertainment, pursue fringe hobbies, and of course, meet people of our chosen sexual orientation (less caution to the wind, more safety, more online dating). Are things better or worse for young people - we don't know, do you, Listener? D

We chat about live stage performance in the wake of @feckinmetalcast's live stage performance, where he performed live, on stage.

On this episode, Traynor and The Big Mouse reflect on growing up attending single-sex primary and secondary schools in Ireland, and how it affected their abilities to interact with the opposite sex.

A cynical and disdainful critique of the "living in the moment" life coaches and their kernels of truth.

We also cover off other ostensibly customer-friendly measures introduced in recent years in Irish pubs, which only detract from the customer experience. Follow us on Twitter: @feckology

How do you feel when someone in a pub/cafe/food court/saloon asks you to watch their coat/bag/seats/anvil while they disappear for an indeterminate amount of time? Placing importance on the unimportant, your hosts Traynor and The Big Mouse chew the fat over this frustrating situation.

On the debut episode of Feckology, Traynor and the Big Mouse give a brief bit of backstory, for those uninitiated, and then deal with this week's topic: A live podcast event where Richard Herring interviewed Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy) and Tommy Tiernan (comedian). Can you call a stage performance a podcast? Is Neil Hannon as funny as one would expect? What pearls of wisdom did
