Has this happened to you?: You're walking down the street and you see someone you know and they just... walk on by? What do you do? Or conversely, you are walking down the street and you don't feel like talking to them... what do you do?

It's tough being friends sometimes. We mean the best, but ultimately we are all quite selfish creatures. And jealous ones too. How do you deal with your bestie falling in love and spending more time with HIM that with YOU?

And whilst we are talking about walking (see what I did there?) where do you prefer to cross the road? Do you make an effort to cross in the right place?

Of course we wouldn't be walking at all if there wasn't a Tube Strike. Did it affect you? Do you support the strikers? Have you ever been on strike yourself? Do you even care about the issues?

Also in this episode: Lofty wants to know why people are just so rude, Denis-Jose gives us an update on his 30 Day Challenges and Browny doesn't want to talk about technology... And what does Valentines Day mean to you?

GL015: Walk on by

A night at the movies. What does that mean to you? What will it mean in the future On this episode of the LF we continue our look at the present and future of how we consume our favourite fiction. This time, it's all about going to the cinema... or theater... or movies...

We also take a look at some more TV series we've been catching up on: Denis has been binge watching Arrow, Gavin has been watching The Wire, Dan has been catching up with Boardwalk Empire and Imran is finally on the Breaking Bad bandwagon.

All this and a rant about buying snacks at the cinema too!

host: Denis-Jose Francois; Guests: Gavin O'Rielly, Dan Collacott & Imran Mirza

LF033: (Next)Saturday night at the movies

What was the last book or comic you read? How long has it been? For some it was last week, but for others it's a distant memory! Increasingly, technology is affecting the way we consume all forms of media and prose is no exception.

In this, the last in our mini-series which discusses how we consume different types of media, we take a look at books & comics. Everything from Kindles to iPads, Comics apps to Audio Books and why we might (or might not) prefer the real thing.

Also in this episode: Bernice is back and she's been binge watching Orange is the New Black. TeeJ is back he's also been binge watching Miami Vice. Yes, that's right the 80s TV series! And Denis-Jose has been following True Detective. 

Stay tuned at the end of the episode for details of upcoming survival special: Under the Fang!

Host: Denis-Jose Francois: Guests: Bernice Watson & Tee-J Sutherland

LF034:  Reading beyond the lines

We told you it was coming. You knew it was coming! All the signs and portents were there. And now… are you ready? Are you prepared? Do you know what to do in the event of a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE?

Well, if you don't, don't worry, because we've produced a double length special with every thing you need to know about the risen dead.

In part 1 we take a historical, cultural and practical look at the dystopian future that belongs to the walking corpses!

And in our regular round up we take a look at X-Men First Class, the Indian comic scene, Hangover 2… and Bernice attempts to read every Star Trek book ever written

LF007.1 The Zombie Apocalypse Cometh

In part 2 of our Zombie Apocalypse special we speak to several experts in Zombie Survival technique. We also get some expert advice from the Liberated Irregulars on how they would cope when face with an undead Armageddon. 

All this and a Zombie Survival give away too!

LF007.2 The Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide

Imagine this: you are walking down the street, minding your own business when you hear a loud two tone whistle from across the street. You turn your head and there are some workmen smiling and waving. How do you feel?

The Wolf Whistle. You've ever been on the giving or receiving end most likely at some point. Is it harmless and complimentary? or is it rude and discomforting?

After such an encounter, surely we all need a nice cup of tea... hold up. Wait a minute. What's the correct way to make it? is there one or is it all subjective?

And is there anything more annoying that kid actors doing fake accents? Lofty doesn't think so! Dan probably agrees but is too busy being annoyed by the seating! Of course browny doesn't brook any nonsense with people who don't have time for kids. Or rather kids and their mum's and their pushchairs on the tube. Which puts her in direct conflict with Denis...

All this and a look at house hunting in London and an update on the the 2014 30-day challenges! 

with Lofty, Dan Collacott, Browny and Denis-Jose Francois.

GL016: Hoy Oi!! Put the kettle on Luv!

Liberation Revisited e01: The Zombie Apocalypse Redux

It's finally happened. The dead have risen, but contrary to current popular fiction it's not slow moving, unthinking zombies we need to worry about. It's smart, strong, fast and devastatingly attractive Vampires!

It's been a while since we - Liberation Frequency - saved anyone from anything: zombies are old news, aliens aren't gonna show up any time soon and the 'rise of the machines'is unavoidable, if somewhat delayed.

But what about Vampires? Do you know what to do when dusk falls for the last time? How do you ambush a vampire? Would you allow yourself to be turned for the benefit of mankind... or your self? They're are a pretty sneaky, powerful (and not to mention *sexy*) bunch...

With this episode of the Liberation Frequency Podcast, we present our forth Survival special. Tune in and perhaps you'll survive until dawn!

LF035: Under the Fang

what is life like as an accused celebrity? Are you innocent until proven guilty or is it the other way round? Why do we increasingly let the media play the role of judge, jury and executioner? Do we even care whether the famous are given a fair trial or do we just want to see them go down in flames?

What's the worst injury you've had for stupid reasons? Are you too embarrassed to say? Did it happen while you were drunk? or in bed? Maybe when you were a kid? Maybe if you hadn't been rushing to get somewhere you'd have avoided A&E?

And let's not forget it's election time again!. That recurring thing we never think about until our more politically savy friends start hassling about who we are voting for. Sadly, far to many of us haven't even considered voting at all. Why is that? And whatever the reason, is it even a good reason?

Do you rush? or do you walk slowly? Are you a competitive streetwalker? One of the ground level crew is, but which one? Is it Lofty, the big fella with the heart of gold, but only one good foot? Dan, running away from Brits Abroad? Browny, who always has something to do and doesn't waste time? Or Denis-Jose and his love for 30-day challenges? You can find the answer to this mystery and more in episode 17 of Ground Level Pod! 

GL017: Guilty until proven... guilty!

We've all been there: It's the small hours of the morning, sitting on the couch late at night, bouncing from channel to channel just to see if there is anything worthy on before hitting the sack... and the next thing you know it's 2 hours later and you are glued to the most awful movie ever made. You know its bad, but you can't stop watching. Oh, you won't admit it to anyone the next day but you love it really. It's a guilty pleasure...

This episode of the LF Podcast we investigate all those things which are so bad they are good! The films, the songs, the TV shows. What are your Guilty Pleasures?

We also do a round up of this summers big movie: From SpiderMan 2 to Guardians of the Galaxy (and lots in between).

LF036: Guilty Pleasures

If a friend of yours is doing the naughty - cheating on their significant other - do you have a moral obligation to spill the beans? or should you keep out of it? What if it was you? Is being unfaithful ever justified? and if has been you... are you forever tainted, regardless of why or how it happened?

In this episode, we discuss the very serious subject of adultery, infidelity and downright cheating.

Everybody loves a good scare don't they? But when you are sitting alone, in the dark, watching late night horror on the telly, where do you draw the line? When is it too much?

Perhaps there's something else on... like a quiz show? Everybody loves a quiz show! But why? what is the fascination in watching other people strike it rich? And what the hell is the deal with deal or no deal?

Also in this episode we introduce a brand new section called 'a question of conscience', along with an update on the 30 day challenges and an explanation of 'The Fappening'.

GL018: Lipstick on your collar, dog poo on your heel

We all have colleagues at work who can't be bothered or just don't care. But surely if a jobs worth doing, its worth doing right, right? Yet that's not always the case. Why is that? Is it cultural perhaps? And should people get a tip for just doing their job? Do you take the service charge off a bill if you think the service wasn't good? How do you decide?

Does the sound of other people eating and drinking grind your gears (or rather, your teeth)? Slurp, chomp, munch! Where are your manners? Or is it someone elses problem?

Here's a tricky one: Would you come clean if you won the lottery... on a ticket meant for someone else?

All this and the subject of taking a lunch break, A competition winner and another 30-day update.

Hosted by Denis-Jose Francois, with (real) Lofty & Browny

GL019: What? Who? Sausages?

When it comes to Christmas, it seems that everyone has a different idea with regards to doing things traditionally. What should be for dinner on the big day? How are presents wrapped and when should they be opened? Do you send cards... and what do you write in them? And what about those Christmas crackers, eh?

But its not just about Christmas. This episode we also look at the more serious issues of being very qualified and being unemployed, breast feeding in public and the media driven political battle between Mr Brand and Mr Farage.

oh, and the less serious issue of weird shop names and the way people mis-pronounce words.

All that and we ask another question of concious: Should you correct questionable behaviour in other peoples children?

Join Denis-Jose, Dan, Lofty & Browny for the barely traditional Xmas episode of Ground Level!

GL020: The barely traditional Xmas episode

Mars. Not the chocolate. Not the singer. The Planet. It's the opportunity of a life time. But it comes with a pretty serious catch: One way ticket. Would you go? If not, why not? And what would you do when you got there... apart from the science? What one thing would you bring with you?

Music maybe? But what music? Do you still listen to the same music now than you did say... 10 years ago? Have your tastes changed as you've aged or is music just shit now? Isn't that what our parents told us? It was waaay better back in their day!

On this episode of Ground Level we ponders these things and other. more difficult conundrums such as, 'what's the point of Birthday Cards?', 'Why is everyone so crazy about Eastenders?' and 'Should you always claim all your over-time at work?'

To find the answers to all these questions and more, jump on the Ground Level funk express as it heads... Uptown!

Join Denis-Jose, Dan, Lofty & Browny for the way out funky space edition of Ground Level Podcast.

GL021: Is there life on Mars?

Revenge. Is it sweet? Is it best served cold? Is it best delivered… in the middle of the night? Has your blood boiled so much that the only way to calm it down was to make a deal with some gypsies?

Getting your own back on someone can be a bit of a surprise and who doesn’t like surprises? Well, one of the team is in for a big surprise this month it unfolds.

And what about the regret of drinking too much? How do we all deal with Hangovers? And how do we avoid getting them in the first place. We have some serious, non-medical advice for you on this episode along with some strategies to help cope with being the dreaded designated driver on a night out.

All this and also dealing with neighbourly disputes and work colleagues who don’t do any work! Who said we were getting too serious? It’s another ground level podcast y’all!

GL022: hair of the dog

If you haven’t seen Avengers: Age of Ultron, or you aren’t interested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, then you probably should listen to this Podcast!

Yes, the LF is back, after a long break, but don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten our core values! No, "True Believer", we are returning to the airwaves with the only discussion that is happening at any true nerds dinner table at this time - The Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Now that we are 11 Movies and 7 TV series into the world of Marvel Comics, with many more on the way, things are starting to get interesting. We take a look The Latest Movie - Avengers: Age of Ultron, Daredevil, Shield and more.

LF037: Some Assembly Required

This time round on the Liberation Frequency we take a look at Conspiracy Theories: What does the term mean, what makes a good conspiracy and why do people want to believe in them? From 911 to the US Moon Landings the we chew over some of the most famous modern conspiracies and the impact they've had on film and popular culture.

LF038: It's a Conspiracy (part 1)

So we've all gasped, cheered and generally been impressed with the superhero offerings from Marvel Studios over the last few years. But what about the other big cheese? DC Comics?

This episode we look at the DC TV & Film Universe, which, whilst no where near as developed as their competitors still has quite a lot to offer and a few exciting things on the Horizon.

So let's talk Batman Vs Superman, Suicide Squad, Flash, Arrow, Gotham, Constantine and more...

*Featuring yet another Collacott Moment!*

LF039: Dawn of Crisis

We present Part 2 in our series of shows looking at Conspiracy Theories. UFOs are our main focus this time with Roswell a chief point of discussion along with the "otherwordly" exploits of aerospace engineer, Wernher von Braun, and the story of Rendlesham Forest. 

Plus, does the concept of the "Men in Black" run far deeper than just being a hilarious Will Smith movie?

There are also minor dalliances to the geometrical proximity of the pyramids, moon landings and we don't ask the question 'could we one day receive contact from aliens'... we ask if it's already happened!
 
Host: Denis-Jose Francois; Guests: Tee-J, Dan Collacot & Imran Mirza

LF040: It's a Conspiracy (Pt 2) - The Truth Is... Already Here!

What have your experiences in online shopping been like? Good? Bad? What happens when things don't arrive, or need to be returned? what if you need to complain? Who do you call?  Can you even call anyone at all?

And what about the rest of life? Sometimes you just need to talk to someone. But what if you don't have anyone? As we get older, these things become more and more relevant, both for ourselves and our elderly loved ones.

The more we march towards an online future and the world of social media, the more it seems we connect less with each other. even though we are connecting more. That doesn't make any sense does it? Don't worry - we'll untangle it for you! It's another Ground Level y'all!

With Lofty, Denis-Jose, Browny and telephone Dan!

GL023: For assistance, press one

Well that was a long break wasn't it? So long in fact that we are just gonna say that this is now Season 03! So if you are still with us... Thanks! Now, let's get on with the show.

It's been so long since we were on air that we decided to kick off season 03 with no main topic. Just a square table discussion between your hosts, considering the things which are on our minds (and have been since our last broadcast).

We've all been watching a lot of TV, but Imran has starting reading books! No less that Game of Thrones. which is quite a daunting task now that we are nearing the end of the TV series. Will he make it to the end? Will the author make it to end? Will anyone want to?

Tee-J has also been reading: Comics! What the hell is going on in the DC Universe? What's all this Rebirth stuff about? With a little help from Denis-Jose, we attempt to explain.

Dan, ever the TV watcher, has a few things to say about the current batch of Marvel TV shows as well as the MCU. The last year has brought us DareDevil, Jessica Jones & Luke Cage. Can Marvel maintain the level?

Do you watch the alternate endings on DVDs? When will Hollywood stop with the Remakes? Has there ever been a re-invention that's gone down well universally? What do you do when you are watching (or reading) something on public transport which is not family friendly and people are looking over you shoulder. All these questions and more on this episode of The Liberation Frequency.

LF041: One Year Later

"Video Killed the Radio Star". Most of us know the tune, but has that fate now befallen the music video, thanks to the internet? Is music television still relevant in our internet based world. More specifically what happened to Music TV Programming - Top of the Pops, The Word, The Chart show? Is Jules Holland the last man standing?

LF042: Did Internet Kill the Video Star?

The Future. For many it looks as though we are on the cusp of a technological utopia. One that we have created ourselves through our own clever machinations. But what if we are unknowingly heading down a dark and destructive path? A path where, without realising it, we have created the tools of our own demise. What if the technology we are busy creating one day turns against us?

In this, the third in our series of survival guides, we look at the possibilities of...THE RISE OF THE MACHINES! How will you survive when mankind is being eliminated and turned to slavery by the very robots, computers and appliances that it's invented. Where do you hide? What essential items do you need?

With the help of the liberated irregulars, the Liberation Frequency editorial team take a light-hearted, down-to-earth look at various scenarios, with advice on how YOU can survive!

LF026: The Rise of the Machines Survival Special

The Ground Level gang are back! for the last four years, we’ve been busy out in the field, doing everything from becoming parents, to emigrating across the world, starting new business and trying to grow up in life. We thought the need for our brand of commentary was long past and that you, our dear listeners, had also moved on.

But then came the year 2020

It has been a dark and difficult time for nearly everyone on planet earth. Beginning with a rampaging pandemic and followed by a series of social protests, environmental disasters, political disgrace and leading ultimately to economic downturn. What did we, the people of earth do to deserve this? Did we really bring it on ourselves?

With our society needing perspective like never before, it's time for us to come in from the cold and once again put our heads together - to analyse, dissect, discuss and find solutions for the everyday person.

This is the Ground Level 2020 retrospective!

Ground Level 2020 Retrospective

Let's start this new season of discussions on a positive note and not mention the C-word. There will be no discussion of XXXXX-19 on this show.

If there are indeed uncountable different multi-verses in existence, can you imagine other versions of yourself, that are different from the person you are now? A decision you made that led you on a different path? What if you could travel in time and give your younger self advice. would you do it? What would that advice be? Would your younger self listen? 

Also on our minds are Pets (and other small furry animals), Indignant members of the public, Bin Men & Joggers.

Featuring Denis-Jose, Browny, Lofty & Dan

It’s another ground level podcast y’all!
