BTN Podcast
185 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 3 years ago -The Besides The Norm podcast was started by Scuba (Steven Duncan) and Monk (Craig Duncan) in 2015. The idea was a continuation of a previous podcast they did by the name of "Desert Island Dicks" which they enjoyed doing but saw no future in the name. So for this endeavour a few things have changed, with the purchasing of our own equipment and new ideas.
Podcast's will feature Craig and Steven's own irreverent humour aswell as throwing in some unusual guests along the way.
