3 is the Magic Number

By: Matt Hughes
  • Summary

  • Each week, we bring on a guest and ask them to pick their three favourite things. This can be anything; musician, album, film, director, graphic novel, Simpsons episodes, Star Wars characters, Theme Park thrill rides, beverages, ballerina, 70’s political figures, cities to live in ... anything! The sky is the limit on choices, but the choices are limited to just 3. At the end of the show, we’ll also be asking our guest for a recommendation for our Recommendations Corner.

  • Review of the Year 2023 (Part 2)
    Dec 18 2023

    Here we go

    Like all great things, we have a sequel! Part 2 of the 3 Is The Magic Number cultural review of 2023 is here for you to enjoy. Bathe in its chat and swim in its natter.

    In this 2nd part, Matt and Remfry talk about their final 5 ‘things’ which complete their Top 10’s of 2023. These wonderful bits and pieces vary from the most talked about TV show of the year to an incredible political podcast, from an album released in 2022 (naughty Matt) to a gig performed in a church. Magical stuff.

    If you haven’t already listened to Part 1, what on earth are you doing? Immediately stop reading this and go click below on that and THEN come back here, pick up from where you left off and get stuck into Part 2.

    As ever, if you agree, disagree, have opinions you need aired or just want to complain or praise, get in touch @3magicnumberpod. We shall see you all in early 2024 when Season 3 launches with a whole new set of guests. Watch this space, stay subscribed and see you on the other side. (Oh and Happy Jesus Birthday to all who celebrate)

  • Review of the Year 2023 (Part 1)
    Dec 11 2023

    Greetings, hello and welcome to of The Annual 3 Is The Magic Number end of season cultural review (Part 1).

    Matt and Remfry witter on about so many wonderful ‘things’ and delightful ‘stuff’, that we’ve had to split this up into two parts. Despite the name of the podcast, we gave ourselves to 10 (not 3) ‘things’ each (as well as a host of bubbling unders) which took in our hosts favourite films, TV shows, books, podcasts, albums, live shows etc etc of the year.

    What will be Remfry’s favourite ‘thing’? What ‘stuff’ will Matt harp on about? Can you tell we didn’t quite get to grips with the descriptive language for this one…? The pair wang on about indie dream pop hardcore, the biggest and pinkest film of the year, things to distract you from flying and why videos games usually make terrible movies.

    As ever, if you agree, disagree, have opinions you need aired or just want to complain or praise, get in touch @3magicnumberpod. We shall see you again next Monday (18th December) for part 2!

  • Matt and Remfry on their Top 3 Favourite Sequels (S2 - E10)
    May 8 2023

    And now, the end is near, and so we have, the final podcast (of this Season). Today's podcast, the finale to Season 2, is the Matt vs Remfry show and their Top 3 Movie Sequels. A lovely long and ramble-y chat filled with movie spoilers and sequel apologies chatter. Lovely.

    As this is the final podcast, there is no recommendation corner or Tuesday Top 3, just all out chat action. Magic.

    The pair head off into the sunset this summer to work on Season 3 (launching Autumn 2023), and appear at both 2000trees and Arctangent festivals as a live podcast. Please do come along if you are at either event.

    Until next season, a huge thanks to all who listen to this podcast, anyone that has shared it, rated it, left us a comment, streamed, downloaded, thank you to all who care. It means a lot.

    See you guys on the flip side.
