Podcast
Welcome to the podcast page on Twohundredpercent. This podcast has now been running for more than six years, with more than 200 episodes recorded on a range of different subjects. The current incarnation of the 200% podcast is called This is Our Everest, in which Ian King and Edward Carter attempt to drive each other up the wall through the medium of old television programmes. But we’ve also got a vast archive of podcasts for your perusal, including the following series:
Winning at Dominoes
Produced throughout 2019, Winning at Dominoes is a series of standalone podcast documentaries of stories from the history of the game in the UK.
An Echo of Glory
Building on the first series, An Echo of Glory is a history of football in England & Wales spread over twenty episodes.
Scorchio
A ten-part series from the long, hot summer of 2020, Scorchio is a ten-part series in which Ian King and Edward Carter revisit some of the football video games of the past.
Strength in Depth
Strength in Depth was produced in the autumn of 2020. It’s a history of non-league football, told through the constant changes, which kept the amateur and semi-professional games one step ahead of the doom-mongers who have been perpetually prophesising its death.
This is our Everest
Join Ian King and Edward Carter on a television odyssey, as we discover the weirdest, the worst, and the blandest television that we can find from the analogue era in an attempt to drive each other to the brink of a nervous breakdown.
