Opinion is Divided
Opinion is Divided
OiD
A (loosely) weekly chat-based podcast where Steve and Dr. Lee (not that kind of doctor) talk freely about stuff and things. Opinion is not always divided but it is always open, frank and honest. If you would like to contact the show or any of its contributors, email [email protected] - all contact is welcome, especially if you are an African prince in exile who needs access to a UK bank account for your riches to ”rest”. Legal stuff: Any and all content remains the property of Opinion Is Divided and may not be rebroadcast or used in any way, in whole or in part, with specific prior consent. All opinions are that of the contributor. If you agree, disagree or are entirely indifferent to anything we say; good for you. Legal jurisdiction for any and all disputes is English Law. If you want to sue, drop us a line and we‘ll happily explain the overriding objective of English civil law and the meaning of the phrase ”man of straw”. Suing us would be the white collar equivalent of kicking a puppy. We mean you no harm, we‘re just having a laugh. Neither of us really want to go to jail, we‘re too pretty.
OiD - Episode 32 - Will Smith -v- Chris Rock
You may have noticed earlier this week that a man slapped another man for saying something about his wife which he didn't like. That in itself isn't especially newsworthy. But when the slapper is Hollywood star Will Smith, the slappee(?) is world-leading comedian Chris Rock and the slap was broadcast live to a global audience during the 94th Academy Awards ceremony, well, people are going to notice. Steve & Dr Lee noticed and have their own thoughts on the subject...

OiD - Episode 31 - General Chit-Chat
This week Steve and Dr Lee got ever so slightly carried away talking through their preamble that they actually didn't get around to talking about what they actually set out to talk about in the first place. Hey, whatareyagonado?? They diverse themselves through such topics as tipping, eyesight and anything else that popped into their heads while the mics were rolling. We enjoyed making it, we hope you enjoy listening. You may even laugh, titter or chortle.

OiD - Episode 30 - Mastermind (Part Two)
Strictly speaking, not so much Episode 30, but more Episode 29.5 which the numbering system of the hosting platform would not allow us to call it. So please listen to Episode 29 first... or not. Free country, innit. This episode also ends somewhat abruptly as Dr Lee had technical issues with his mic. "Technically" more an issue with Dr Lee than the mic, to be fair. Any suggestions for topics for future episodes warmly welcomed at [email protected]

OiD - Episode 29 - Mastermind (Part One)
Steve & Dr Lee make a triumphant return and say "hello" to 2022 with a quiz. Inspired by their recent trip to a pub when they discussed what their specialist subject on BBC television's Mastermind quiz would be, Dr Lee has a run at Harry Potter (surprisingly not Chemistry) while Steve is quizzed on all things Star Wars (unsurprisingly). This episode had to be split in 2 in order to be uploaded so don't forget to download or listen to Episode 30 to complete the set. Think of it as Episode 29.5.

OiD - Best Bits of 2021
Happy new year to you from Steve & Dr Lee. As a special end-of-year bonus, Steve has made an OiD Megamix or Now That's What I Call Opinion Is Divided 2021. 2 minutes 21 seconds of disjointed soundbites that will hopefully make you smile... at least once (not guaranteed). We hope you have enjoyed listening to us in 2021 and hope you will join us for more fun, frolics and sweary grumpiness in 2022. Don't forget you can tell us your thoughts at [email protected]

OiD - Episode 28 - Christmas
Steve and Dr Lee get in the festive spirit to chat about Christmas: including Christmas traditions, inappropriate places to be woken up on Christmas morning and how early is too early to put up a Christmas tree? 2 sentences in and the word "Christmas" has been used 4 times, 5 if you count that last one. It's beginning to look a lot like... well... you know. Merry Christmas, one and all.

OiD - Episode 27 - The Little Things That Make Us Happy
Steve & Dr Lee had 4 weeks to think of the little things that make them happy. Steve had a list, Dr Lee had to wing it. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Dr Lee's microphone which, sadly, passed away during the recording of this episode. We present the material we managed to save. It's what his mic would have wanted. Please enjoy this episode safe in the knowledge that, like Nikki Sixx, Dr Lee's mic has since made a full recovery from death and, like James Bond, will return...
