The Last Straw
June 22, 2020 05:00 - 51 minutes - 70.6 MBEpisode 22 The Last Straw English is weird, isn't it? The language, we mean... possibly much of its people too. But where did some of our most used idioms and phrases come from? Well... we don't explore that (probably should) in this episode. What we do do (haha we said "do do") is talk about which ones confuse/annoy us the most... and then we have an idiom battle... of sorts. Join us as we pay a little tribute to the late, great actor Sir Ian Holm, discover Ryan's highlight of the week and c...
Humble Brag
June 15, 2020 05:00 - 47 minutes - 64.6 MBEpisode 21 HUMBLE BRAG “I hate my lambo! Police is ALWAYS pulling me over just cuz its a lambo so they always think I’m speeding but I’m not!! Then they let me go!” This is a wonderful example of a humble brag. Humble because they're telling you they've been stopped by police... a total brag because they wanted to let you know they own a Lamborghini. This is just one topic of our podcast this week. A podcast we tried to cram as much good stuff into as possible, including what has become a ne...
Livestream
June 08, 2020 05:00 - 49 minutes - 68.5 MBEpisode 20 Livestream Cold Callers embark on their boldest move yet, by attempting to livestream the recording of a podcast episode. Was it a success?

Fancy A Cuppa?!
May 04, 2020 07:15 - 45 minutes - 62 MBEpisode XV Fancy A Cuppa?! Fancy A Cuppa?! is an in-depth discussion about tea. Is it what makes us quintessentially British? Or is that racism?

Because... truth be told... we never know what to write here to be honest. It's... Comedy... Apparently.... and ... it's the same sort of thing here as in other episodes... but newer. We discuss new jobs, checking ourselves regularly... and A new segment is born. 'Ryan's Highlight of the Week', which is a riveting insight to the life and ti...
Stay At Home
April 20, 2020 06:45 - 43 minutes - 59.3 MBStay At Home If you're listening to this... it had better be from the comfort of your own. However we will accept the possibility of you tuning in on your way to your KEY work... and then home again. Or maybe on your way to your extremely necessary shop.... and home again. Or perhaps out on your 'once per day' allotted jog, run or walk... and home again. But other than that. STAY AT HOME! Wherever you are (it had better be at home (unless you're listening after lockdown has ended sometime ...
Would give this ZERO stars... But not allowed
April 13, 2020 06:45 - 49 minutes - 68.1 MBEpisode 12 Safe and sound in our respective homes, we endeavour to keep podcasting away for you.... and for us. We also get a kick out of it. Here's some more ramblings and moanings from Cold Callers Comedy... We hope you enjoy it, however we cannot be held responsible for your lack of a sense of humour. Thanks for listening.
Unprecedented
April 06, 2020 07:04 - 39 minutes - 54.3 MBEPISODE 11 UNPRECEDENTED This summer... Be unprepared for a situation... we've never faced before.

Immunocompromised
March 23, 2020 06:30 - 35 minutes - 48.7 MBWE ARE AT WAR! WITH AN INVISIBLE ENEMY! That enemy's name is SARS-Cov2. A coronavirus that sprung up out of nowhere in Wuhan, China. It's now all over the world. But here in the UK, the virus that causes the Covid19 disease is causing havoc because the small minority of human's here are bloody morons! In this episode, whilst socially distancing ourselves, we try to find the funny side. We hope you can too.
The Best Man
March 09, 2020 06:29 - 52 minutes - 71.8 MBEpisode VIII The Best Man So... It's basically more of the same. Just frustratingly longer and possibly more infuriating to listen to than previous episodes. We make 90"s TV references, tell almost humorous anecdotes about our rotten luck, and even sing an improvised song that's a little bit gushy... you have all been warned
Sick & Twisted
February 11, 2020 07:29 - 32 minutes - 44.3 MBEpisode 7 SICK & TWISTED So... a day late and in a slightly different format this week. After both being very unwell for the last fortnight, Ryan was still in the throws of a cold, but not wanting to disappoint our MASSIVE fanbase, we proceeded to record this podcast from opposite ends of London. The wonders of modern tech. Anyway... this is filler. Normal service resumes in 2 weeks time.

We definitely do not talk about butts or poop. DISCLAIMER: (RATED MATURE) We may subtly o...

The Cold Callers Saga
September 14, 2012 15:16 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBCold Callers understand that you have been waiting patiently for Series 2, so to satisfy your appetites in the meantime - Here is a compilation of our sketches from the entirety of series 1. Enjoy! SERIES 2 - COMING SOON!

Episode VI: Return of the Jew
April 28, 2012 13:06 - 57 minutes - 54.2 MBCOLD CALLERS ARE BACK!! - And this time they mean business. Episode VI picks up where they left off... Gandalf enjoying hobbit crack, Dougie's pearls of wisdom and more mass debating from Paul & Ryan. You've not missed EPISODE V - They've just decided to start back with VI and go backwards... something George Lucas would be proud of.
Episode IV: A Jew Hope
July 22, 2011 17:36 - 56 minutes - 51.8 MBLatest and last Podcast from Cold Callers for a while because Paul is off to sing on a cruise ship for 7 months... all right for some. Anyway... more sketches, ramblings, debates, music, laughs and outtakes than ever before in an extra long episode... which is nearly an hour, which in a way means it's two podcasts in one! Aren't we generous!? Either that or just really lazy at editing.
