LOVE soundcloud? Then you’ll hate us! Because we completely forgot to update the podcast on there! We’re fixing it right now. You can find us here, where we’ve just uploaded last Christmas’s bonus episode… oops m.soundcloud.com/so-disappoin...

In part one of our two-parter about separating the art from the artist, WWE aficionado @chrisnelsonmmmmmm.bsky.social discusses some of the fallen heroes from that arena. It’s a grimly fascinating segment. audioboom.com/posts/895803...

Having to think about Hulk Hogan’s sex tape right now for PR reasons. Now *you’re* thinking about Hulk Hogan’s sex tape. Aren’t you?

And, on the night of the new moon, the deep dark, let’s start to revisit some of Terry’s best #plasticenehalloween costumes from last year. We’re still looking for new costume ideas for this year. The best one or two will be made and the ‘winner’ will receive a very limited edition Terry badge:

Terry doesn’t have much time this year to dress up for Hallowe’en. Last year, one of Terry’s minders was incapacitated with a back injury and standing at a table making plasticine outfits was a great way to keep moving. We’ll recycle some of Terry’s greatest hits over the coming month.

COMING SOON Part two of our episode on separating the art from the artist, we’re calling it: ‘The elephant in the room’ As if we didn’t name a whole load of awful people in the first episode… we did! And we name even more in this one.

We won’t link to Chris Benoit, it’s too tragic, but here’s the rest. Major trigger warnings apply, this stuff is hard to read. Go gently Hulk Hogan: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Ho... Jeffrey Jones: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey... Matthew Broderick: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew...

It’s rabbit hole time again. We’re gathering some links so that those of you who want to learn even more facts about the subjects we’ve covered in the latest episode can do a deep dive. This one will come with a hefty trigger warning, none of this stuff is nice.

While we wait for the next episode to ‘drop’ (as the kids would say). Shall we play a game of ‘snippets of songs which promised the earth and delivered disappointment’? This was the teen’s face when I played ‘Spaceman’ by Babylon Zoo to them …

YES, it’s late, but it’s good! (This is the exact same excuse I used the whole way through my Film and Media degree when I handed in my essays after the deadline. ) Part 1 of So Disappointed, Separating the Art from the Artist will be landing in your podcast app overnight tonight!

Putting the finishing touches to the latest episode of So Disappointed. Question for you lovely people… Which celebrity has *never* given cause for disappointment? We namecheck Sir Michael Palin in the next episode, but, who else is a constant source of uncomplicated delight?

When you *love* the creation but can't stomach the creator anymore... It's a dilemma we all face at some point and it affects everything from wrestling to contemporary art. How do _you_ separate the art from the artist? Coming soon to Sodisappointedpod.com or wherever you get your podcasts

In our next episode we’ll be investigating the thorny subject of ‘separating the art from the artist’. Finding a way to still love astonishing creations made by terrible people. Something that legions of Ed Sheeran fans *would* be doing right now if he’d ever made any music worth listening to.

Talking to our Gen Z correspondent, Sprite, about the thorny subject of separating the art from the artist. Delighted to learn that all the geeks out there can enjoy Masters of the Universe without guilt because you can’t see Jared Leto’s face or recognise his voice in it.

Terry is busting out their 10th Doctor costume in support of every trans and cis person who feels disappointed by this. Like David Tennant and the creators of So Disappointed, all of whom WERE Proclaimers fans, if you want to come for trans people, you’ll have to go through Terry first!

When someone you respect does something that does not align with your strong beliefs, it can really hurt. Terry never got down to Pink’s poppy ballads, but they liked her approach to self acceptance. What about us, Pink?

So Disappointed @sodisappointed.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
When an artist you love does something that does not align with your values, how do *you* deal with the confusion and the disappointment? Which artist do you wish you could completely separate from their art, so you can enjoy it again without feeling a bit gross? Over to you…

We are SORRY! We hit a few brick walls this month in terms of finding a suitable guest* and Paul has been an exceptionally busy Arts Journalist this month. We will be back shortly with our next episode, it will be a little later than intended.

Our brilliant guest @justlewis70 reminded us that information rabbit holes are where the best podcasts are made and where the best podcasts take us. SoDisappointedPod.com is now on its second series and there's plenty of fascinating facts in every episode for the hungry mind.

Our latest episode is all about the disappointment we feel when people we admire accept honours from The Establishment. Here’s a teaser, featuring our returning guest @whenisbirths.bsky.social I wonder who he’s talking about…

Arise, Sir Terry! Why are we #SoDisappointed when public figures we like and admire accept knighthoods and trinkets from the ruling classes? We discuss this thorny issue, and so much more, in our latest episode, The Establishment Blues. Coming soon, to wherever you get your podcasts.

In 2001, we were supposed to be spinning in space, talking to psychopathic AI and hanging out with monoliths. 25 years later and only one of those things has happened. Are you #SoDisappointed? audioboom.com/posts/892394...

Terry is So Disappointed to discover that they can’t edit their own website on a phone on a moving train. And that means you’ll have to wait a few days to see our absolutely stunning new landing page image by @swansonian.bsky.social in situ. In the meantime, feast your eyes!!

We know we've only just released Episode 1 of Season 2, but you should know that Episode 2 is about The Establishment - in particular, the punks and the rebels who sold their souls for a KBE or an OBE. Which of YOUR heroes compromised their personal integrity and principles for money and power?

Terry *could* have used AI to imagine what they would have looked like as an ennui-ridden Jetson. But, Terry has some paper, a pen, an imagination and a deep love of scrappy creativity. Find out why we’re So Disappointed by AI (and other things) in our latest episode audioboom.com/posts/892394...

I always enjoy editing the podcast and I’ve loved every one of our guests so far. Tonight, I get pleasure of editing a fellow podcaster’s contribution. @outonbluesix.bsky.social is an absolute JOY to edit. This is a man who has made so many podcasts he knows how to make it easy for the editor.

Children of the 60s, 70s and 80s had a tinfoil wrapped vision of Utopia full of Acorn PCs, Sinclair C5s and laser discs. What happened? Did we never reach our potential or did we get there and discover we hated it?

It’s 2026. House prices are 8 times the average wage. Petrol is 158.95p per litre. Terry Ennui’s job has been replaced by AI. Cars don’t fly and we didn’t get to the Mars, in fact, we’ve only just been back to the moon. Terry tries not to think about the future too much.

So Disappointed @sodisappointed.bsky.social · 23/05/2026
It’s 1976. House prices are 4 times the average wage. Petrol is 17p per litre. Gerry Ennui, Terry’s dad, has a good job as a programmer. He’s in the union. He’s got a tidy little modern house and hope for the future. When his kid is his age, people will live on mars and cars will fly.

Terry asks: When was the last time someone offered up a utopian version of the future that felt reachable to you? Have we stopped believing?

So Disappointed @sodisappointed.bsky.social · 23/04/2026
Terry needs a futuristic look for the opening episode of season 2. But, Judith Hann isn’t about to tell them what tech they’ll be using in the future and Blue Peter haven’t done a futuristic fashion show in a while. What DOES the future look like?
