drop-IN Sessions
The drop-IN Sessions is a podcast of rambling conversations immaculately researched and planned by two verbose fools, one of which has been writing a blog www.dropthebeatonit.com for ten years to critical acclaim from Vice, The Guardian, and the New York Times, and the other, a man who just wants to be heard. We are Alfie and Domingo, and together every week we vacillate on an array of carefully plucked subjects from the ether, from regret, to obsession, to being a parent, to fizzy water. It’s all here. We hope you enjoy.

An ode to the parentals, an analysis of their faults, a merciful olive branch to say thanks for making us after all. The gift of life can't be all bad.

I get taken to the cleaners for my ardent belief in a girl that doesn't exist. Everyone needs a short sharp hit of reality now and then. But how boring is that.

We delve into the murky waters of obsession. When is it fun, when is it vital, when does it get restraining-ordery. As humans, we think we're in control. We have obsessions, but what if they have us.

This week's subject concerns.. *insert ghost sound effect* getting callously rejected by a member of the opposite sex, by dint of a text message. What does 'ghosting' mean about our culture at large, I analyse all those sorry times I have been on the receiving end. What does it say about the way we communicate.

What is regret. Is it made-up thing, a way of sugar-coating the past. Are there things in life we really messed up, and wished we could go back and make amends for.

We discuss the ins and outs of alone time. In this day and age we are more atomised than ever. Do we need to all get together and have a singalong or are we better doing things Scrooge style.
