Hardcore Listing with Chris & Stu
From the familiar, slightly sticky confines of The Whiff Inn-Stu’s home bar-comes the gleefully chaotic and surprisingly insightful Hardcore Listing with Chris & Stu. This isn't just another ranking show. Born from their stint as sidekicks on Scroobius Pip's Drunkast, Chris and Stu have built a formidable podcast where the simple framework of a Top 5 list becomes a springboard for sprawling, hilarious, and often deeply personal conversation. Each episode hinges on a category, but that category could be anything: the five most formative records, the greatest buffet foods, the most disastrous drunk stories, or the TV shows that genuinely shaped them. The premise is brilliantly loose, allowing discussions to veer from heartfelt nostalgia to absurd improv in a heartbeat.
While the two hosts play off each other with a natural, long-term chemistry, they’re often joined by a host of special guests, adding new dimensions and unpredictable tangents to the listings. The result is a podcast that feels like the best kind of late-night pub chat-unpretentious, warmly funny, and anchored in a genuine love for the stuff of life, be it music, film, or a questionable party snack. It’s a show about culture, society, and comedy, all filtered through the very specific, wonderfully odd lens of two friends arguing passionately about what makes the cut. You listen not just for the lists themselves, but for the meandering stories, the passionate defenses, and the inevitable disagreements that happen when you try to pin down the top five anything.
