There's also related movie talk, a look ahead to the upcoming Christmas Special, and Eric is…

With all the hype and/or hope around green hydrogen, we're asking: what's the deal with everyone seeming to want to sell it to Germany? Could we be using it here? A transatlantic talk about the renewable energy industry in its infancy on the east coast.

What's this you say? A new episode of The Atlantic Voice? Yes, it has been a rarity of late, but what need for quantity with this quality.....Eric and Zeff are back and catching up on some things AI, our old friend Asteroids!, as well as something to help your movie-going experience.

It's the greatest show on earth (except you have to make your own popcorn) - it's Part 1 of the Summer Movie Preview!…

A guest on the show as Eric and Zeff try out Microsoft's AI, ChatGPT. How intelligent is it really? And how artificial is it? Questioned about ducks, it most certainly has the answers, though when asked about the podcast, well, it has some opinions....And there's music, as the guys debate Pink Floyd's seminal album, The Dark Side of the Moon.…

Remember our Summer Movie Preview? From June and July of last year? No? Then what kind of a fan are you? Because if you do remember, that annual Atlantic Voice tradition is also somewhat of a competition. And now, it's time to run the totals and see which our of hosts is the more....predictive.

Tired of tea? We don't blame you. But never fear, the Butch and Sundance of the podcasting world are back together.

The World Cup and The World Cup of Tea reach their end. And with that, Zeff has just one question - how will you remember the 2022 edition of the tournament. Will it be the games, the host, your fig business even, that'll you be packing away in your memory to help you recall the last month? Or maybe nothing at all. Do big events mark the passage of…

World Cup Final Day, and an early start (depending where you live, of course!). Talk of another World Championship that has just started, an real (or imaginary breakfast?), and, wait for it....a "Final" pick.

Day 28 and as promised earlier on the World Cup of Tea, we setting you straight with all the references that have been used, including a classic British gangster movie, and an old-school Mini car chase.

Day 25, and Zeff explains how he's been able to keep an eye on the World Cup thus far. Plus musings on workplace hierarchy, and being confused by cold weather and Christmas. All at the same time as the games!!!

Brazil are going home, and so Zeff feels that he should clarify his previously stated position. And so he's falling on his sword and admitting he's a hater. With some caveats, of course. Whether you are convinced or not, well that's on you. Also, some Olympic memories, and a quick tribute to Jet Black, recently passed drummer of The Stranglers.…

Book review time. Today's title - "The Glory Game" by Hunter Davies.

Zeff takes a look at the first ever "recyclable" (is that even a word, never mind is it the right word for the situation?), the first ever "recyclable" stadium, Stadium 974, built for, and only for, this World Cup.

Day 14 of the 2022 World Cup, and by the calendar we're pretty much at the midpoint of the event. But Zeff asks - does it feel like that? And how's your perception of time and life outside of the enormous bubble that is the world's biggest (sporting) event? Time to discuss how our everyday reality has been hijacked by men kicking a ball about. Plus…

By rights, Day 13 of the World Cup of Tea should be titled Day 12 - Redux, but "Addicted" is the title of the book in our second review. Considering that Group E played out in the same dramatic fashion as Day 12, it's probably also the best word to describe any neutral fan out there. Of course, if you're a fan on the wrong end of results, well, I'l…

The latest set of final round-robin matches in the group stage, and the first truly wild pair of games to decide who survives. Talk of tie-breakers, shredded nerves, and worrying more about the "other game" rather than your own. Oh it it's football alright. Bloody Hell!

England and USA are the survivors of Group B and on to the Round of 16 and the knockout stages. And while Zeff wants (most of) you to have a great day and enjoy the games, he also wants (most of) you to temper your expectations and keep a little perspective and not to behave like a hysterical Harry Styles (England) fan.....…
