Jake and Dave Yapp‘s Audio Freqs

Toon AF - Side B

November 25, 2022 09:24 - 54 minutes - 125 MB

A SEISMIC episode, with big announcements all OVER the shop. Also, it's quite funny. But when you've heard it, you'll probably want to head over to www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs xx

Toon AF - Side A

November 17, 2022 21:59 - 1 hour - 142 MB

The first side of our romp through the world of animated audio. Featuring an utterly gobsmacking revelation about Pingu. No, I mean it.

Carry On AF

November 11, 2022 08:40 - 48 minutes - 111 MB

Being a highly trepidatious 'romp' through one of the most 'popular' and 'successful' British movie franchises of all time, namely the Carry On films. TW: Contains Swanee Whistle.

Doggy AF - Side B

November 07, 2022 12:06 - 50 minutes - 115 MB

sir sorry sir sorry its late sir but the dog ate it Presenting a second hack up the Dog Park of esoteric audio, as Davey stands patiently by Jacob, wishing he didn't insist on making eye contact throughout, before resignedly fishing in his pocket for one of those little black bags.

Doggy AF - Side A

October 31, 2022 14:35 - 1 hour - 144 MB

In an episode which sprawls like a labrador on a cream sofa after a long and muddy autumnal walk, we take in dogs*, Beyonce, Trick or Treating Memories, even though we're not doing a halloween special, and there are a lot of sodding quizzes. But we have FUN, MAKING MEMORIES. All of which I have forgotten. There was definitely a bit I meant to edit out but didn't. We're so sorry, Jesus. *I'm not taking in dogs any more. Just a very scratchy cat, apparently.

SPECIAL DOUBLE CASSETTE BONUS Anniversary AF - Side C

October 22, 2022 17:17 - 53 minutes - 121 MB

Really, some would argue, somewhat over-milking our first anniversary, since we're now more than 6% through the second year. But, you know. STUFF is GOING ON, ok? But thank you for bearing with us, and sorry for the late-running of your scheduled Friday service etc. Back to normal next week, I PROMISE xxx

Anniversary AF - Side B

October 14, 2022 05:13 - 49 minutes - 113 MB

In which we continue our celebration of the podcast's first anniversary to an increasingly inappropriate degree, but ACTUALLY there is some properly BATSO audio in there, so maybe you should turn down your RANT KNOB. There's a THIRD tranche, if you're interested, over at www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs for the people who are so extraordinarily generous in supporting what we do. Just saying. But maybe I should turn down my WHEEDLE KNOB.

Anniversary AF - Side A

October 07, 2022 05:20 - 51 minutes - 119 MB

Part of a SPECIAL, DOUBLE-CASSETTE, TRIPLE-SIDED edition. We're looking back at some of the topics we covered in the last year BUT WAIT WAIT - it's ALL FRESH and NEW STUFF. And as part of our first anniversary celebrations, we're making this week's bonus available to all - so look out for a special extra episode next week! Hugs and that xxx

2UP AF

September 30, 2022 06:36 - 44 minutes - 102 MB

Continuing our deep dive into Video Game sound and music. This time it's an Italian Job. I think. It was a week ago now, so I have definitely forgotten. Everything. Also, apologies if you downloaded the original version of this episode and couldn't hear any music. The wheels are NOT falling off and actually we're putting in bold measures to build the economy and keep britain strong ok xxx

1UP AF

September 23, 2022 10:46 - 45 minutes - 104 MB

In which we celebrate our fiftieth episode in true Audio Freq style, arriving late and with a missing kingle at the top and the music bed running a 44.1/48KHz sampling mismatch. Ennnjjjoyyyyy ittttttttt xx

Many Happy AF - Side B

September 16, 2022 05:23 - 48 minutes - 111 MB

And really, the Birthday party is in full swing, by which I mean I've been sick and burst into tears and had to come upstairs with my yellow towel. Jake and Dave take a birthday trip through some of the least celebratory birthday songs ever written. Hope it's your birthday! Hope this doesn't wreck it! xxx

Many Happy AF - Side A

September 09, 2022 05:24 - 46 minutes - 106 MB

In which I spectacularly fail to mark the half century of one of the most important people in my life. But HI HO I BRING JOLLY CHAOS, and I'm going to pretend to myself that counts for something. Enjoy xxx

Smashed AF - Side B

September 05, 2022 12:26 - 48 minutes - 111 MB

Hello. Here is a new version of this accursed episode, without weird silences with nothing but heavy breathing, music interruptions, and Two Ronnies-style displaced repartee. FFS. I am so sorry. Still and all. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAVE. He is fifty today. That's ridiculous. I'm so proud to be his cousin. He's a truly amazing man. And, you know what? He always was. And making these podcasts with him, aside from horrific technical nightmares that require a fairly forensic restoration of each verb...

Smashed AF - Side A

August 26, 2022 09:21 - 53 minutes - 123 MB

It's not easy, being green. Or angry. Today's episode, brought to you in sparkling holiday-grade audio (actually, Davey sounds fine, but I sound awful. I just mean editorially) is all about everyone's favourite anger-management epic failure. Enjoy!

Rollin’ AF- Side B

August 19, 2022 19:32 - 57 minutes - 105 MB

In which I present this week's episode late and of an inferior quality. In rock and roll terms, I guess this is bang on, but I am neither rocker nor roller, and therefore I believe I have acted fraudulently. I sincerely apologise.

Rollin’ AF - Side A

August 12, 2022 05:40 - 47 minutes - 109 MB

ROCK? What even IS THAT? Roll, baby, that's where it's at. So come and jump, jive, boogie and bop and etc etc with Jake and Dave etc etc. Because there's nothing so rock 'n' roll as two middle-aged straight white guys posturing. Well, it worked for the Stones. And they ROLLED. They didn't ROCK.

Cribbins AF

August 05, 2022 16:07 - 1 hour - 157 MB

A late podcast, celebrating the late Bernard Cribbins. What a man. I realise I have left off my own homages to Bernard Cribbins and this episode is so late already. Can I just give you the links instead? Here are the links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFRdzFjnUiE and https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08b78mt THANK YOU for your KIND UNDERSTANDING xxx

WOMADAF - Side B

July 29, 2022 05:30 - 44 minutes - 102 MB

Continuing our celebrationnnnuhhh of worlduhhhh musicsssss. In this episode! Swedish Loch Ness Monsters! French-speaking problematic actors! And James Bond, played at Boss Level! If you fancy coming to our fun live festival, hop over to www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs to find out how you can come along to our goodtimes party! xxx

WOMADAF - Side A

July 22, 2022 05:49 - 49 minutes - 114 MB

AYIA? Are You Into Acronyms? DYLT? Do You Love Them? Fairly Unusual Compressed Kinds? Well, play the damn podcast and we'll uncompress together. If that even makes sense. Also, we have some exciting news for people with moderate social anxiety! xxx

NFK AF

July 15, 2022 05:09 - 50 minutes - 116 MB

**FOLK TRIGGER WARNING** Time to stick a finger in an ear, ideally your own, and warble out some stuff about comely maidens fair with sentence construction haphazard. Davey's been checking out the broads.

Manual AF - Side B

July 08, 2022 05:46 - 48 minutes - 111 MB

Continuing our deep delve into the sweaty felt world of puppetry. I'm afraid some of it may be fairly triggering if you watched much UK children's TV in the seventies. Supporters of the podcast get an extra bonus full-length podcast every other week - sign up at www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs! xx

Manual AF - Side A

July 01, 2022 05:02 - 57 minutes - 132 MB

This episode is basically like Puppetry of the Penis, only without the puppePENIS I MEANT PENIS. There was one, but we whipped it out. It's about puppets. That's literally all. Next week, though, we might discuss Nookie Bear, which, you know. Is BEYOND problematic.

Platty AF - Side B

June 24, 2022 09:02 - 44 minutes - 102 MB

It's time for our QE2 2, continuing our SEVENTY-EPISODE LONG CELEBRATION (note to self: must inform Davey about this) of HRFH LE QUEEM'S anniversary of sitting down etc. If YOU TOO ARE A PATRIOT, there's a bonus jubilee episode available to our supporters at www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs - go and have a look, or you are a traitor to your country, and hanging is too good for you etc. xxx

Platty AF - Side A

June 17, 2022 05:15 - 45 minutes - 105 MB

Prolonging the unending celebration of HRFH LE QUEEM, featuring some of the most meretricious odes ever composed in tribute to, and this joke only works if you've heard the podcast, and you probably haven't, the second-longest monarch in history. So maybe go and have a listen, and then I won't look as bad as I appreciate I do right now. Then again, I got up at half five to edit this little bugger, so I may be rambling. xx

Moogy AF - Side B

May 27, 2022 05:11 - 55 minutes - 126 MB

In which we examine more closely Robert's extraordinary organ. Oh, Robert. Thank you for the precious gift of your bleepy business.

Moogy AF - Side A

May 20, 2022 05:57 - 1 hour - 139 MB

We love to Moogy We love to Moogy Jitterboog Moogy Etc I'd love to type out a nice elaborate thing about synths, but I was very suddenly asked by Jon Holmes to compose a parody of the BBC News Jingle done in French. So that's all gone right out of the window. Still. I hope you enjoy it. Are yiou enjoying these? I do hope so. Consider signing up for the bonus podcasts - it's like 50% more podcast - over at www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs xxx

Eurovision AF - Side B

May 13, 2022 05:02 - 1 hour - 141 MB

More of the best and worst of Eurovision, much, if not all of which was suggested by listener Neil. Thanks, Neil! Here's my own playlist of tunes I like from Eurovision. I say like. That might be strong. 'Time', by Izabo is fascinatingly bad. But Verka Seduchka is, and will always be, utterly glorious. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/43tlnt9JHaue3A0E3varQO?si=92adff2c846a4f9b Here's to a good one on Saturday! Don't forget, there's more Eurovision jollity in our bonus full-length podca...

Eurovision AF - Side A

May 06, 2022 06:27 - 1 hour - 173 MB

Jake and Dave unearth some rare gems from the world of Eurovision, and begin the battle to decide: Which act is the Worst of the Worst? (Side note: Dave's Kettle of Fish are performing in Bristol in June, if you fancied googling all of that for tickets) Don't forget, there'll be bonus Eurovision stuff in the bonus podcast for supporters on Ko-Fi: www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs xx

Windmilly AF

April 29, 2022 05:15 - 50 minutes - 116 MB

Oh we're off to Sunny, Sunny Spain. Which is great as I have been rather poorly in a splatty way and may just leave my keys on the kitchen counter, walk out of the house and never return. (I'm fine. But might go back to bed and make dying noises now) xxx

Bonussy AF - Side B

April 22, 2022 08:34 - 38 minutes - 88.8 MB

Continuing our self-plunder, as we bring you some select bits from our bonus podcasts. If you're interested in supporting the project and getting the FULL BONUS, head on over to www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs ...there's lots of fun business with me and my cusband, including our TOO HOT TO HANDLE ONLYFANS PAGE* and, er, some badges. *This does not exist, but we're wide open to offers. I feel like we'd make more money to keep our clothes on.

Bonussy AF - Side A

April 15, 2022 13:23 - 31 minutes - 71.6 MB

Look, got som pretty awful news for you. Um, don't know if you heard but Jesus died. It's awful. Apparently he was a really nice guy. And so young. I don't know much about it, but I bet it was that bloody motorbike of his. Anyway. Fingers crossed for some GOOD NEWS sometime SOON. In the MEANTIME. Here's a teasey sort of podcast - there are some brand new bits, but we're giving you a little sneaky peek at some of the sorts of things we get up to in the bonus podcasts - there are at least two...

Crashy AF - Side B

April 08, 2022 05:41 - 50 minutes - 115 MB

Continuing the Saga, looking at the entire industry of spin-offs from the Star Wars franchise. PLUS some amazing Barnacle Bills for you. Sorry, I just got distracted. I've got the news on and they just used the phrase 'Ship-based science' and I completely misheard the 'ship-based' part and now I can't remember what I was going to say. Anyway, hi. How's it going? x

Crashy AF - Side A

April 01, 2022 05:20 - 1 hour - 148 MB

A little while ago... In a galaxy quite a ways off... In which we take a deep dive into the parallel universes of Star Wars '''''''''inspired'''''''' esoterica. Plus some speculation on the appearance of a bald wookie. Google it, or have a look on the @audio_freqs instagram account. Davey will probably post a picture there, and then you'll be sorry. Don't forget, there's a bonus episode every fortnight if you fancy it - head over to www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs - or head over to eMule and do...

Contrapuntal AF - Side B

March 25, 2022 05:06 - 47 minutes - 108 MB

We're bach with Back. More WACHY BACH FACHTS for you!?!?!?!?! Bach was a quick learner, but his brother said he wasn’t ready to learn the pieces in a book of famous compositions that were in the cupboard. So at night, J.S. Bach snuck downstairs and copied the notes by hand using only moonlight so he wouldn’t wake anyone up. It took him 6 months! How WACHY is THACH? Also quite needy. And I feel like he had a bit of a bad attitude to women. HI HO ON WE TRUDGE. I promised I'd tell you about ...

Contrapuntal AF - Side A

March 18, 2022 05:42 - 53 minutes - 123 MB

Well, I thought I'd take this opportunity to hit you up with some WACHY BACH FACHTS! FUN FACHT: Bach got put in prison by Duke Wilhelm, because he asked if he could please go and work as a composer for Prince Leopold. Wachy! FUN FACHT: When Bach wrote religious pieces, he'd put the initials INJ at the top, which some people think means In Nomine Jesu, but could also be a meyers-Briggs test result from a Russian website, meaning Bach's personality type was Impregnating-Naughty-Jiggly. We jus...

Divine AF - Side B

March 11, 2022 06:03 - 29 minutes - 66.9 MB

Let's not say 'amazing'. Let's describe it as simply 'staggering'. So we have some renditions of Staggering Grace that will leave you positively enraptured. I was just blasting on through naptime tbh and am most unimpressed with myself, but Davey and the music should allow you to behold the majesty of His* divine second coming etc. Love you. Don't forget, there's a much more energetic full-length bonus every coupla weeks for supporters over on www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs - go have a look xxx ...

Divine AF - Side A

March 04, 2022 06:45 - 54 minutes - 125 MB

This time, we're moving in mysterious ways. From TV evangelists to some of the most Amazing, yet Graceless renditions of Amazing Grace, Jake and Dave listen to some of the most incontrovertibly zealous, yet meritless spiritual audio. If you're interested in the Poke video mentioned in the podcast, here's the link: https://youtu.be/jTn4u3ULqec Don't forget, there's a full-length bonus podcast twice a month for subscribers - head on over to www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs for that and other FUN P...

Romantic AF - Side B

February 25, 2022 06:55 - 53 minutes - 122 MB

Jake is back after last week's hiatus. Hiatus gonna hiate, hiate, hiate, hiate. But the LOVE is in the air (open a window). Have you ever wondered how the racy novelist Barbara Cartland might sound if she was singing? Of course you haven't. You'd be SO WEIRD if you had. But I bet you're wondering now. Well. Play this podcast, and, in due course, you'll ACTUALLY FIND OUT. Not only that, but we have a deeply romantic binaural treat for you. Which sounds more exciting than it is. So, swings a...

Romantic AF - Side A

February 18, 2022 09:48 - 47 minutes - 108 MB

Yes, it's THAT kind of mixtape as we belatedly celebrate St Valentine's Day, staggering back from the garage with a box of Matchmakers and a Catford Bunch*. Jake is away this week, but a special quasi-celebrity guest is sitting in for him. Star, ahahahaha of BBC Radio 4 Extra and one-time Girl Friday for Martin Kelner, kindly clench your buttocks on Davey's behalf as we welcome none other than nonagenarian good-time gal... DORA DALE. We'll be back to normal next time. In the meantime, if yo...

Poetic AF - Side B

February 11, 2022 06:25 - 41 minutes - 95 MB

Surely the greatest song poem ever written is featured in this one, quick trigger warning, the lyricist may have slipped a 'pen*s' in there. Also, David makes reference to Peer Gynt, and I realise now that if you suffixed Peer Gynt with the word 'Middle', you'd have a popular competitive game of catch as played in Yorkshire playgrounds. That's pretty much all I have. HOWEVER. there IS more to be had. There's a bonus episode for people buying us a coffee at www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs, and wh...

Poetic AF - Side A

February 04, 2022 06:32 - 50 minutes - 115 MB

As we reluctantly enter the world of Song Poems - lyrics written by amateurs, and set to music (for a SMALL ADMINISTRATIVE FEE) by professional, and fairly existentially-troubled musicians. You will hear songs about vampire husbands, yellow things, and 'by the also of having'. I'm not going to lie to you, you're going to need some strength for this one. Also, a quick recap of our discussion of exciting new extras, which took up the first twelve minutes of the show: If you head over to w...

Musical AF - Side B

January 28, 2022 06:00 - 46 minutes - 107 MB

It's time for the second act of our Musicals extravaganza! You know, the half that goes on a bit and the songs aren't as good and you start wondering about train times. BUT! In this episode! All By Myself, sung by people who probably spent quite a lot of time in that state afterwards! Another regional musical - but this one even more staggeringly surreal than those from the last episode! You honestly won't believe it. AND! We have some NEWS. There's lots of stuff happening in and around th...

Musical AF - Side A

January 21, 2022 04:30 - 56 minutes - 130 MB

Part One of a deep dive into the murky waters of failed, flawed, and fabulously obscure musicals. Regional TV Musicals! Jesus Musicals! Truckin' Musicals! And not a whiff of Lloyd Webber to be had. You'll love this stuff. I promise. Part two next week. Put us about a bit, will you? Aw, thanks.

Solitary AF

January 14, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 212 MB

In today's episode, Jake and Dave Yapp showcase Outsider Music - that particular body of work which appears to have rejected every musical organ. This doesn't really work as a line. There's something about bodies rejecting organs or something in there somewhere, but, ngl I have had a sherry. I am not being coy. Like when people say 'OOPS I MAY HAVE IMBIBED A SHANDY OR TWO HORRRHH HORRRHHH HORRHHHH' when they mean they've been doing Tequila for five hours. No, it turns out that Tesco and Sain...

Gibbous AF

January 07, 2022 07:23 - 1 hour - 168 MB

Here's some recycled material about the moon! You're welcome! The moon has had a massive impact on every culture, so before we get into the science, let’s do a whistle-stop tour of what we used to believe about the moon on a spiritual level. The Aztecs called the moon Mictecacuiatl and believed it travelled through the night sky hunting for victims to consume… As did the Maoris in New Zealand, calling it the ‘man-eater’. The Tartars of Central Asia called it the Queen of Life and Death… A...

First Footed AF

December 31, 2021 06:03 - 1 hour - 165 MB

Merry AF

December 23, 2021 23:17 - 1 hour - 209 MB

So here it is. And if you've ever wondered how much Noddy Holder makes a year off it, then this is the podcast for you. Also if you've ever wanted to hear Marlene Dietrich singing a modern carol, or a song about Santa Claus in a helicopter, or wondered why we should all be saying a massive 'Sorry' to Baby Jesus right now, this, too, is the podcast for you. And if you've ever wondered why a historically Black university in New Orleans is beloved by everyone – except the US News best colleges ...

Festive AF

December 17, 2021 06:20 - 1 hour - 193 MB

So I did more digging about the scandalous new-fangled AMERICAN version of Away In A Manger. The setting is known as 'Mueller', although I don't know why, because it was composed by a guy called James R Murray. Maybe he was just really into yoghurt. Meanwhile, the UK version is called 'Cradle Song', and was written by William J Kirkpatrick. And it is the ORIGINAL as well as THE BEST. Why, it predates the Mueller version by er a whole TWO YEARS erm. 1895 vs 1897. And they were both American...

Arachnoid AF

December 10, 2021 06:30 - 1 hour - 200 MB

Skiing is believing, as we delve into the Marvel Comics Universe (TM David's Family) and find out more about the man who does whatever a spider can. Like shedding urticating hairs, to irritate a potential predator. Me and Davey, we can both do that. You should see our sofas. Also, fun fact: for its weight, spider silk is over a thousand times stronger than a frozen Wham Bar. I've got some more here, hang on. Some spiders do, indeed, eat their own webs, in order to recycle the amino acid...

**** AF

December 03, 2021 06:13 - 1 hour - 164 MB

In this four-star-rated episode, ahem-hem, we are enjoying a variety of filthy, potty mouths, spewing their vile profanities and turning your earbuds blue. You'll hear (bleeped, but, you know, pretty guessable) swearing and sauce, both intentional and inadvertent, from rugger b*ggers to Bessie Smith. So, pens at the ready to write to the Radio Times, and away we go!
