The Sherman Report is a podcast in which Paddy Johnston and Rob Sherman discuss art, technology, work and creativity.
In our seventh episode we discuss Nik Naks, Sea Shanties, Laser Tag, Pokémon Go, sub-par search engines, Theresa May's new Cabinet, the size of the state, anarchy getting a bad rep, postcapitalism and Rob's run-in with the Mayor of Croydon.
SHOWNOTES
In our sixth episode, which has been some time coming, we discuss what to do if birds come down your chimney, Hedge Wizards, Silken Windhounds, personifying toys, universal basic income, the fact that Rob thinks Hamilton is okay, higher education funding, and Justin Timberlake (who receives some sass from Paddy).
Shownotes
In our fifth episode we discuss social media for dads, musicals, ghosts, Brexit, freestyling, the power of suggestion, how to be a modern highwayman and what would happen if Hayao Miyazaki made a film about Paddy's death.
Shownotes
Our fourth episode is a throwback special! Recorded back in 2010 when we were on the student radio station, this rare audio captures us during the year we lived together in a flat with no living room but a huge bathroom, as we recommend pretentious books and play silly word games.

In our third episode we discuss listicles (again), Paddy tests out some of his ideas for new apps on Rob, we make plans to go on a brewery tour, we agree that genre is a blunt instrument, and there's a little bit of Star Wars chat.
