It’s pod #39 and despite the global pandemic (and the fact 39 is in fact both of our ages) The Golden Ducks return and discuss the eponymous 1977 debut album by The Clash.TD describes in impressive detail the origins of his French heritage (and his love of cheese and croissants because you know, they’re French).WG gives his opinion of French people in general and doesn’t hold back (it’s more passive than aggressive) and The Golden Ducks meander through this punk debut dissecting whether it deserves a place on the Stone Cold Classic stage; an environment reserved for only the very best of the best.Get on it.

The Golden Ducks rant and rave about the global epidemic that is the lack of toilet paper and dive into their reasons for being ‘scrunchers’ and not ‘folders’.TD can barely contain his excitement and proclaims every song pretty much a ‘banger’ and WG discusses his belief that he could comfortably push over the Australian icon that is the Combi van.

37 - Pulp – Different Class

Pod #36 and this week we flash back to 1995, and Pulp’s ‘Different Class’.WG struggles to effectively describe Sheffield and ends up just making shit up.TD’s memory once again fails him (consistently, repetitively, and without a shred of irony) and The Golden Ducks suddenly go all deep on us and question the significance of birth, death, and who the hell actually accompanies us (as we said – deep).

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 - 54min
36 - Frank Ocean – Blonde

Podcast 35 and our first of the 2020!The Golden Ducks tackle Pitchforks selection for #1 album of the decade in Frank Ocean’s ‘Blonde’.In between identifying their personal picks for album of the decade The Golden Ducks wrestle this masterpiece with TD dissecting every nuance of this album much to WG’s surprise, WG blubbers his way through with all sorts of big words (most of which he presumably doesn’t know the meaning of) and The Golden Ducks become production geniuses by mixing up the sound to see if it has any morsel of impact.

Thu, 05 Dec 2019 - 1h 13min
32 - Blur – Parklife

We visit the 3rd album by the mighty Blur titled ‘Parklife’, which in many ways marked the of birth of Britpop.TD confuses and contradicts whilst addressing the albums ‘diddy’, WG resorts to counter the ‘diddy’ argument by insisting TD plays the most random of ‘diddys’, and all the while it’s apparent The Golden Ducks sound better when they’re in a studio together recording – rather than 7,371 kilometres away via What’sApp.Get on it.

Thu, 31 Oct 2019 - 45min
31 - Metallica – Metallica

Pod #30 and we tuck into heavy metal group Metallica’s ‘The Black Album’ or simply ‘Metallica’.Per tradition we are joined by a special guest.On this occasion it’s drummer extraordinaire Phil Chandrapal.The Dude plays the perfect host asking all those pressing questions a podcast host should, Phil plays the perfect guest and illustrates an impressive music for our featured group as well as a love/hate relationship with their drummer & Walt Gold frankly struggles to get involved as distance wreaks havoc on his sporadic contributions.

Thu, 31 Oct 2019 - 1h 04min
30 - Fatboy Slim – You’ve Come A Long Way Baby

A very special 29th pod at The Golden Ducks.The Dude and Walt Gold finally get into the studio and on this occasion review the second album by electronic producer Fatboy Slim perfectly entitled ‘You’ve Come ALong Way, Baby’.TD shows serious hopes of owning some memory in an extraordinary display of testicular fortitude whilst admiring the brilliance of the TV show ‘Love island’.Walt Gold does everything possible to go completely off piste and The Golden Ducks bask in the glory of finally being able to record a podcast in person, with a few beers showing that friendship will always prevail. Oh and before our listeners tell us – yes we know it sounds so much better!Get on it.

Mon, 21 Oct 2019 - 49min
29 - The Cranberries – No Need To Argue

On our 28th pod we visit The Cranberries 2nd album ‘No Need To Argue’. Whilst WG immediately goes on a rant about inheriting an Android phone after losing his iPhone, TD entertains a rogue Australian male (so to speak) proving to our listeners we are completely unedited & unscripted as we delve deep into the vocal nuances and eclectic range of The Cranberries front woman Dolores O’Riordan.Get on it.

Sat, 05 Oct 2019 - 43min
28 - ABBA – Arrival

We launch right into pod 27 with ABBA’s 4th studio album ‘Arrival’.In between discussing our most challenging crowds when it comes to wedding speeches, TD gets his knickers in a twist trying to define exactly what an acronym is, WG somehow compares ABBA to John Lennon in an extremely tenuous link and we lay to rest the theory that all Australians are keen racists.Get on it.

Thu, 19 Sep 2019 - 47min
27 - Neil Young – After The Gold Rush

During our 26th pod we get our teeth stuck into Neil Young’s third studio album ‘After the Gold Rush’. During this somewhat iconic pod we discuss which online porn platform is our favourite when one visits the bathroom, The Dude discusses whether his father, the legend that is ‘Big Gregg’, has ever been a fan of the funny cigarettes and Walt Gold completely fan boys over this iconic artist to his detriment perhaps?

On our 24th podcast we dissect Snoop Dogg’s debut album ‘Doggystyle’.

Get on it.

Tue, 06 Aug 2019 - 49min
24 - Michael Jackson – Off The Wall

Our 23rd podcast and this time we visit Michael Jackson’s ‘Off the Wall’. We applaud and discuss how The Dude made the Australian headlines recently, Walt Gold arrogantly denounces any album that doesn’t have an epic opener as complete rubbish and between us we discuss the very big elephant in the room concerning the King of Pop and dare we say it we get a little serious for the first time in a 20 year (or 25 according to The Dude) friendship. Get on it.

Tue, 30 Jul 2019 - 49min
23 - Portishead – Dummy

106 days after The Golden Ducks last outputted a podcast we’re back with our 22nd where we cover Portishead’s debut album ‘Dummy’.Between discussing why there has been such a lengthy hiatus ( there’s no trouble in the GD camp we promise), our love of the phrase ‘excessive linguistic pressure’, TD sitting in a bar with a load of aliens and WG aimlessly writing off our two previous guest contributors, somewhere along the line we tackle this moody, broody and suspenseful piece of work.Get on it.

Wed, 17 Jul 2019 - 46min
22 - Live – Throwing Copper

We tuck into ‘Throwing Copper’ by Alt Rock Grunge dwellers ‘Live’. Walt Gold immediately slates, & later rates this mid nineties effort whilst employing the most cliched and generalised description of your average ‘Live’ fan, whilst ‘one third French’ The Dude struggles to grasp the language of love whilst name checking the hottest siblings around (except the brother obviously), Irish 4 piece ‘The Corrs’. Will The Golden Ducks categorise this as a Stone Cold Classic or simply discard it like a morsel of food on the carpet? Get on it!

Tue, 02 Apr 2019 - 1h 04min
21 - The Streets – A Grand Don’t Come For Free

Covering all imperative topics this week for example what the actual description for a bathroom cabinet is (ummm a bathroom cabinet), Walt Gold’s yawning getting out of control and The Dude drops a bombshell about this album that outrages Walt Gold.

Tue, 12 Mar 2019 - 53min
18 - Episode 17: Ten

We hit up Pearl Jam’s debut ‘Ten’; and while The Dude debates the validity of bands peaking (and continues to actually sound like he knows what he’s talking about), Walt Gold critiques album covers in typically brutal fashion.Plus we revisit the battle of rakija between Australians & Croatian’s at The Dude’s wedding, until we eventually tuck into the chewy centre of this great album.But is it a stone cold classic?

Fri, 08 Mar 2019 - 50min
17 - Episode 16: Kind of Blue

We visit the stone cold classic that is ‘Kind of Blue’ by Jazz icon Miles Davies. Amongst discussing The Dude’s fondness and technique to polishing shoes, Walt Golds attempt to use the word ‘Gimp’ as vehemently as possible and an epic technical fault which The Dude somehow managed to cover up with aplomb we tackle all things jazz which includes trumpets and shit innit.
