Pleasure Explosion
Pleasure Explosion was the fun idea that kickstarted the Explosion Network — the original podcast that launched everything else. Hosted by Thomas Marshall and friends, each week brought conversations that swung from heartfelt to laugh-out-loud funny, giving listeners a chance to really get to know the crew.
The show ran for a total of 69 episodes (nice).
📅 First Episode: 01/03/2017
📅 Final Episode: 21/06/2018
Though Pleasure Explosion has now concluded, the archives remain as a time capsule of where the Explosion Network began — because every network needs an origin story, and this was ours.

This week, we unfortunately don't actually get drunk, but we do discuss some of our best/worst (delete as appropriate) drinking stories, memories and games. Turns out some of us are terrible people and others are exemplary citizens. Who'da guessed?

Jono leads part two of the hypothetical extravaganza started in episode six. Would you want to be smarter if it made everyone think you were dumber? Would you steal Hitler's wallet to ruin his day?

What are your pet hates? What grinds your gears?
This week we nip that conversation in the butt and the team talk over the things in life that just piss us off! Jono and Tom take people who butcher the English language to task, find out what Dylan won't touch if it's been in your mouth and Jack gives his best Coke sales spiel!

Is Bad Neighbours one of the best comedies of all-time? Why is Neighbours one of the most popular shows in Australia anyway? This week on Pleasure Explosion neither of those questions are answered, but we do talk about neighbours. Jack explains why his neighbour's dog is doing his head in; Jono tells a story about asking his neighbour for a lift in nothing but his jocks; Nick is scared to start an online war with his neighbour and Ashley explains how he ruined his neighbour's fence; Tom gives a shout out to an ex-neighbour who listens to the show! Dylan survives another episode this week.

Spoilers, the Explosion Crew is back, talking spoilers. Jack has very strong feelings on the subject and lets everyone know about it. The guys also discuss what they've had spoiled, what they've spoiled for others and spoiler etiquette (spoilers: it's to not be a C*#%). This episode contains spoilers for Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Sixth Sense, Game of Thrones, Infamous 2 and the life of Tupac. Also contains an awful rendition of Hit 'Em Up.

This week: Easter Special In homage to the original zombie, Jesus Christ. We discuss what we don't like about horror movies, literature and general culture. We talk about what deeply affected us and real world horror.

This week: what blows our minds! 5/6ths of the Explosion crew - plus Nato from 4 Yanks 1 Aussie - bring anecdotes of times their minds were blown. From the astronomically mind-bending, through the entirely inconsequential, it’s a practically a guarantee there’s been something stupid that has blown our small minds at one point or another.
