À propos de cet audio

The Continuum Podcast is somehow the very definition of being able to continue an endless conversation from episode to episode, made up of multiple subjects and discussions that Adam (the English one) & Kyle (the South African one) know very little about.


The guys share their thoughts and opinions allowing the listeners to be the “fly on the wall” on what everyday conversations between somewhat "normal" people are actually like.


Enjoy the almost seamless splicing of the Continuum Podcast, which shares high points and low – but is a great conversation of discovery between two friends that don’t really know each other, but have a good laugh along the way.

  • 169 - Takeaway Orders to International Fast Food
    Apr 6 2026

    Kyle and Adam pick up exactly where they left off — with a misdirected text about chicken, meat dates, and dog walks setting the tone before they've even introduced themselves.


    The big question this week: what actually counts as a takeaway? Adam's got strong opinions. Nando's doesn't qualify. McDonald's doesn't qualify. If it's got a dining room, it's a restaurant, not a takeaway - end of debate. Kyle disagrees. Loudly. The philosophical standoff over whether a Sunset Burger delivered to your door constitutes a proper takeaway could've lasted all episode, but they've got chicken livers to discuss.


    From Nando's orders and halloumi temperatures to the Portuguese roots of a South African franchise and why chicken tikka masala became Britain's unofficial national dish without anyone really knowing what's in it, the lads wade happily into food culture. Portion sizes for mac and cheese cause genuine outrage. A chorizo mash croquette anecdote takes approximately four times longer to tell than it should. Nobody minds.


    The subject of cooking without measuring sparks a proper chef-vs-civilian exchange (turns out years in a professional kitchen will do that to you) before the conversation finds its groove in proper takeaway orders. Kyle's a Nando's man. Adam's been on a chicken tikka bhuna run after the jalfrezi started winning the morning-after battle. Onion bhajis, poppadoms, garlic naan, saag aloo - the full spread gets its moment.


    Then it's the sodium reckoning. Domino's, Pringles, ultra-processed food engineered to keep you eating, and a genuinely heated Bisto debate that might be the most divided the two have ever been on anything.


    By the end, they've barely scratched the surface of global fast food, which can only mean one thing: next week, it's going international.


    Thoughtful, hungry, and dangerously close to ordering something mid-episode. Proof that on the Continuum, no food goes undiscussed and no takeaway classification goes unchallenged.

  • 168 - Stranger Things to Takeaway Orders
    Mar 30 2026

    Adam and Kyle saddle up for a Stranger Things deep-dive that, true to Continuum form, barely makes it past the opening credits before veering somewhere far stranger than the Upside Down.


    What begins as a genuine attempt to discuss gifted children, shadowy government doctors, and whether five seasons really feels like five seasons, quickly dissolves into an argument about episode length, the ethics of pausing a streaming show, and the ancient wisdom of eating an elephant one forkful at a time.


    From there, the lads take a sharp left into roadkill law, the edibility of elephant meat, and whether rigor mortis is something you need to factor in before firing up the barbecue. Naturally, this escalates into a full forensic masterclass — pallor mortis, livor mortis, algor mortis, putrefaction — complete with photographic evidence nobody asked for, and some genuinely questionable medical advice about eating kidneys to fix your kidneys.


    Bodies lead to bowels, bowels lead to fish diarrhea, fish diarrhea leads to the existential question of whether our brains are basically full-time rectum supervisors. It's a rabbit hole with no floor.


    By the time the conversation drifts back toward food — use-by dates, the great chicken smell debate, freezer tactics, and the legendary Chateaubriand incident — takeaway rice has somehow become the most dangerous thing they've discussed all episode. More dangerous than exploding whales. Possibly more dangerous than the Upside Down itself.


    Thoughtful, chaotic, and blissfully unaware of how far from Hawkins they've wandered — proof that on the Continuum, no show is safe from decomposition.

  • 167 - Law to Stranger Things
    Mar 23 2026

    Adam and Kyle swap psychedelic wildlife for powdered wigs as they wade into the murky waters of law. What begins as a fairly grounded chat about how the legal system actually works quickly mutates into courtroom hypotheticals, moral grey areas, and the uncomfortable realisation that “common sense” isn’t always legally binding.


    From obscure laws and accidental crimes to whether intent really matters when stupidity is involved, the lads wrestle with justice, punishment, and the fine line between loophole and outright chaos. There’s healthy scepticism, mild outrage, and at least one moment where they’re dangerously close to founding their own back-of-the-pub legal system.


    Naturally, this being the Continuum, the conversation doesn’t stay in the courtroom for long. Somewhere between legal precedent and public perception, things take a sharp left turn into conspiracy-adjacent territory, government secrecy, and the cultural obsession with the unexplained.


    Which can only mean one thing.


    By the time the credits loom, they’ve wandered out of the courthouse and straight into flickering lights, alternate dimensions, and the enduring appeal of the upside down, teeing up a full dive into Stranger Things next time.


    It’s thoughtful, chaotic, and just sceptical enough to keep everyone slightly nervous. Proof that whether it’s the law of the land or the laws of physics, nothing on the Continuum stays straightforward for long.
