Hello! Welcome to Yes or BS – the podcast where everything is true. Except the parts that aren’t.

If you’ve never heard of Yes or BS, firstly, you don’t know how lucky you are. Secondly, we are Ant and Paul, two long-suffering best mates from Newcastle in the northeast of England. We make a podcast series in which we try to outdo one another with bizarre stories and ridiculous trivia, but there’s a twist: some of the facts are entirely made up, and it’s up to the opposite player to decide whether what they’re hearing is genuine, or total BS. Head over to our website yesorbs.com to listen, or to play the game yourself.

If you are already familiar with Yes or BS, firstly, we can only apologise. Secondly, you’ll no doubt know that subjects sometimes crop up in the podcast that require a little bit more research, explanation or context than we’re able to give it in a regular one-hour episode – and that’s where this Patreon page comes in.

Help support Yes or BS here on Patreon and in return you’ll have access to an ever-growing library of bonus follow-up material: a series of mini podcasts in which we go into more detail on some of the topics we mention in the normal Yes or BS episodes – from Florence Nightingale’s pet owl to Oliver Cromwell’s exhumed head and Tony the Tiger’s extended family. We’ll keep adding to this bonus library over time, with plans already afoot for some full-length bonus episodes, outtakes, and behind-the-scenes videos available only to our lovely patrons.

Frankly, just listening, sharing, enjoying and commenting Yes or BS is massively appreciated; these podcasts are a lot of fun to put together, and we’d like to think that at least some of that enjoyment comes across to our listeners (in between the terrible jokes and our shoddy grasp of science). So we’re keeping things simple: $1 a month gets you access to everything.

Any support you’d like to give us here – to help keep Yes or BS online and ad-free! – would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
