Fab AF
November 26, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 180 MBIn our first (possibly last) palindromically-titled episode, we delve into all that is fabulous. I don't want to give anything away. But you probably sussed it anyway. Anyway, Jake and Dave unearth some really odd audio, and, along the way, discover the original version of the James Bond theme. It's about a pond. I KNOW. Do tell someone about the podcast - charmingly boutique as this little bubble is, it'd be great to reach more people. And if you'd like to support the running costs, buy ...
Political AF
November 19, 2021 06:40 - 1 hour - 79.7 MBThis time, Jake and Dave do a little bit of politics, and we discover one of them is really into eugenics. TOTAL JOKES RELAX. But you'll hear your favourite Liberian politician singing, some astonishing attempts to set political speeches to music, and the most frightening versions of Harry Potter ever recorded. Don't forget - you can send your request to [email protected], and be sure to enter our quiz! Also SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE AND LEAVE A REVIEW LOOK EVERYBODY SAYS IT FOR A REASON....

Synched AF
November 05, 2021 12:21 - 1 hour - 176 MBIn an episode that takes, really, a good half an hour to actually set off, Jake and Dave begin the first of a series of deep dives into the world of library music - once regarded as the cheap-and-cheerful alternative to licensing commercial music for broadcasters. Some of the best EVER tv theme tunes started out life as library music... But do you know which British tv show theme tune was used on a western movie trailer? FIND OUT BY LISTENING AND STUFF. Plus there's a new competition to wi...
Scary AF
October 29, 2021 07:38 - 1 hour - 73.8 MBWoooOOOoooo! Etc! Jake and Dave have some truly blood-curdling audio for you this week. Not scary. Just awful. But it is 100% Monster Mash and Time Warp free, GUARANTEED, which has to count for something. But there's a not-at-all Yummy Mummy, some top trolling with Actual Trolls, and a London Bridge not so much falling down as breaking down. Plus a VERY DIFFICULT QUIZ INDEED. And this week's request is for Jurassic Park - send your request to [email protected]. Thanks for listen...
Birthday AF
October 22, 2021 05:30 - 1 hour - 71.6 MBJake and Dave Yapp delve into the world of birthday celebration audio - and along the way learn the TRUE story of the 'Happy Birthday' song. I thought I knew it. But I totally didn't know all of it. There are alternative birthday songs, from Paul Anka, to rap, to the Philippine King of Novelty Songs. PLUS there's a FUN QUIZ, and you could win some HIGHLY RARE COOL MERCH. We've got our crayons out already. Do spread the word about the podcast - we're growing marvellously, but essentially ...
Cosmic AF
October 15, 2021 05:31 - 1 hour - 170 MBIn space, no-one can hear you scream. But, sadly, we're not in space, and nor were any of the audio excerpts featured in this podcast. So buckle up, for a wild rocket ride to the moon and beyond, as Jake and Dave explore the final frontier through the medium of recorded sounds that range from the exotic to the appalling. AND Radiohead's 'Creep' gets ruined forever in our request slot. You're welcome!
Monkey AF
October 08, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 150 MBThis time, Jake and Dave take a forensic look at a TV cult classic, looking at Kooky Faces, Piggy Faces, and Blank Faces. Not like that. Literally blank. Smooth all over. It's horrific. Along the way we look at Hobnobbing, Salad Girls (no; I know), and we have our first song request - it's an absolute classic, and we found it murdered eight different ways. Send your song requests, comments or suggestions to [email protected], and follow us on social media - we're @audio_freqs. Thanks...
Saucy AF
October 01, 2021 06:46 - 46 minutes - 106 MBIn this inaugural, and, conceivably, final episode, Dave shares an assortment of odd audio filled with quadruple entendres, more winks than the entirety of Anne Robinson's career, and more nudges than a fruit machine in a flat roof pub being masterfully operated by a bloke with a 'system'. Together we will hear Carry On players as you're unlikely to have heard them before, a highly unlikely hug and a kiss, and some rather overworked attempts to thumb a certain fruit into the 'saucy' catego...
