• 20 - Irish Pub - "RUDE, RACIST + SEXIST"
    Jan 27 2025

    🍀 Pints & Chaos: The 5 Star Podcast Hits an Irish Bar in the Azores 🍀 This week, The 5 Star Podcast finds itself in an Irish bar in the middle of the Azores, where the pints are flowing, the facts are questionable, and the vibes... well, let’s just say they take a turn. Expect:

    Charlie serving up some Pele facts (because why not?). Breastfeeding anecdotes you never asked for.Genius podcast spin-off ideas. Goat’s milk, tax dodging, and, of course, pints of Guinness. Jon trying out even more accents—because he just can’t help himself. And to top it all off, an abusive and racist bar owner you won't believe is real (but sadly, he is).


    It’s all the craic you can handle—plus a bit of chaos, 5 Star Pod style.


    And remember: like, subscribe, and always check the vibe of the pub before ordering a pint.


    Peace, Love & Mother's Milk,

    Team 5 Star Pod 🍻

    🛁 Spa Day Shenanigans: The 5 Star Podcast 🛁

    This week, The 5 Star Podcast visits a Glasgow spa, where relaxation meets bad Scottish accents. Prepare for soothing treatments, Scottish anecdotes, and an unnecessary roast dinner chat.

    Jon and Charlie are giving The Rest is History a run for its money with some loose historical "facts", yet another problematic accent (Glasgow, we’re sorry) and a person screaming for no reason—think Begbie, but in a bathrobe.

    And remember: like, subscribe, and don’t throw pint glasses.

    Charlie has some controversial opinions on Amazon,

    Jon gets to carry out his favourite pastime of reading out American names,

    London Calling: The 5 Star Podcast Hits The Big Smoke! 🚍


    This week, The 5 Star Podcast takes a bumpy ride through the streets of London as Jon and Charlie go head-to-head with a tour bus company that’s as dodgy as its website.


    Expect:

    • Jon fuming at their website design (and maybe at all tour bus websites while he’s at it).
    • Charlie’s spot-on impression of Jon’s Nan.
    • A shameless and mildly desperate attempt to snag a paid sponsorship (hint, hint).


    Join Charlie & Jon for tantrums, tea, and tourist traps as we navigate the Big Smoke like true professionals... or not.


    And remember: like, subscribe, and support the chaos—because life’s too short for bad websites and unpaid podcast hosts.


    Peace, Love & Big Red Buses,

  • 16. Christmas Special - 5 stars - "Price Gouging"
    Dec 25 2024

    This week, The 5 Star Podcast brings you their Christmas Special!

    Jon and Charlie dive into their festive antics, featuring smelly jumpers, cute antlers, and a gift exchange that's more one-sided than playing Man City (this season).


    Brace yourself as they almost master the art of a two-sided conversation. Expect musings on religion, war, and dead parents.

    While Charlie stumbles into a few new words, and Jon reflects on the deeper (and darker) moments of the season.


    And remember: The 5 Star Podcast isn't just for Christmas.


    Peace, Love & Smelly Jumpers,

    Team 5 Star Pod 🎁
