http://www.lsfhf.co.uk We ARE your heroes Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:44:28 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Back-Talk is what happens when Christophe and Ian, two close, like-minded friends, commune with one another. It is also a podcast from Low Standards for High Fives, documenting these conversations for free worldwide distribution. Divided, they are just a half-French/half-English smoothie and a hot-tempered Northern Irishman. United, they are a smooth yet hot-tempered discourse juggernaut. Back * n. the least prominent section or perspective of something/someone. Talk * v. to reveal information and ideas by speaking. Back-Talk * podcast. the detailed, often directionless musings of two friends on a myriad of topics. Origin: The Internet. PHRASES: \"Have you heard the new Back-Talk episode? It may be occasionally indecipherable, but it’s the alternative the world needs.\" We ARE your heroes Back-Talk http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Back-Talk-Logo.jpghttp://www.lsfhf.co.uk yes http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=880 http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=880#comments Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:44:28 +0000 Ian http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=880 http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?feed=rss2&p=880 0 The exciting, absurd, and often obscene conclusion to our time-travels. Chris treats history like speed dating. Ian becomes a “Time Commando” and maintains his hope that, the further back in time you go, the greater the chance of encountering a magician.

Privacy during “toilet time” is a good thing. If you went back in time, would it be easier to convince people from the distant past of your sincerity than it would people from last week? Ancient floozies mean more to Christophe than Ian does. There’s no time machine like a magical carton of cigarettes. <a href="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=878"><img align="left" hspace="5" width="150" height="150" src="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/backtothetalk-150x150.jpg" [...] http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=900 http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=900#comments Wed, 26 May 2010 06:58:27 +0000 Ian http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=900 The Back-Talk special over 40 episodes in the making...

The gang assesses the relevance of bathroom attendants and acceptable tipping etiquette on both sides of the Atlantic. Bostonian cab drivers can be funny, but also dangerous. Sometimes, university is wonderful in spite of being part of a small “intellectual student elite.” Sometimes, university is wonderful because of that. <a href="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=900"><img align="left" hspace="5" width="150" height="150" src="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/rocktalk-150x150.jpg" [...] http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=862 http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=862#comments Mon, 17 May 2010 18:32:39 +0000 Ian http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=862 In a turn of events best described as unsurprising, more stories about girls and nights out unfold.]]> http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?feed=rss2&p=862 0 Ian “I love The Cribs” Pratt lavishes praise and a fair amount of air-time on The Cribs. Christophe “I would rather listen to Limp Bizkit” Entressengle hates Franz Ferdinand. Irish politics =  bumpkinism? Everyone from northern England is a “pig farmer?” In a turn of events best described as unsurprising, more stories about girls and nights out unfold. <a href="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=862"><img align="left" hspace="5" width="150" height="150" src="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Back-Talk-Logo-150x150.jpg" [...] http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=849 http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=849#comments Sun, 09 May 2010 22:08:17 +0000 Ian http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=849 Chris loves cougars and cougars love Chris. Literally.]]> http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?feed=rss2&p=849 0 When Chris starts a story with “I was out the other night…”, “I was smoking as I usually do…”‘, or “I met this chick the other night…”, you know you’re onto a winner. When Chris starts off a story with all of the above, a very special Back-Talk’s in the making. The perils of sneaking a woman almost twice your age into your parents’ house and post-coital interruptions follow.  Snickering ensues. <a href="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=849"><img align="left" hspace="5" width="150" height="150" src="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Back-Talk-Logo-150x150.jpg" [...] http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=692 http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=692#comments Mon, 26 Apr 2010 22:00:14 +0000 admin http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=692 Ian frames life through the prism of Swingers, casting himself as John Favreau and Christophe as Vince Vaughan.]]> http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?feed=rss2&p=692 0 Ian frames life through the prism of Swingers, casting himself as John Favreau and Christophe as Vince Vaughn.  Chris, however, offers a different take. More thinly veiled romantic stories. More self-doubt. No Jay Mohr. <a href="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=692"><img align="left" hspace="5" width="150" height="150" src="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Back-Talk-Logo-150x150.jpg" [...] http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=811 http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=811#comments Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:54:14 +0000 admin http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=811 Back-Talk's position within the gay community is contextualized. ]]> http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?feed=rss2&p=811 1 Back-Talk’s position within the gay community is contextualized. Ian calls “dibs” on Tina Fey. Meanwhile, Christophe is not above hitting on lesbians. If Ian doesn’t turn up to your fancy dress party in a costume, there’s probably a reason for that. <a href="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=811"><img align="left" hspace="5" width="150" height="150" src="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/gaytalklogo-150x150.jpg" [...] http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=760 http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=760#comments Mon, 12 Apr 2010 20:27:47 +0000 admin http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=760 Probably, the most laughter-filled podcast ever.]]> http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?feed=rss2&p=760 0 Christophe and Ian amuse themselves in the very worst corners of the Star Wars universe, fashion some imaginary movie roles for one another, and “pretend” this is actually #38. They also assess faith vis-à-vis the current problems facing the Catholic Church. Seriously. <a href="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=760"><img align="left" hspace="5" width="150" height="150" src="http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/btf-150x150.jpg" [...] Back-Talk yes http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=720 http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=720#comments Thu, 04 Jun 2009 11:44:26 +0000 admin http://www.lsfhf.co.uk/?p=3 The episode formerly known as This Charming Man and the Barely Audible Boy.

DISCLAIMER: Techcnical difficulties abound in this, the non-historic first podcast from Christophe (charming, erudtie) and Ian (the other one.) Starting as they mean to go on, the disgruntled duo tackle topics as diverse as Kevin Smith, religion in most of its many forms, the politics of love, and etiquette.
