The Old Oilhouse

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

The Old Oilhouse is a UK-based fortnightly Podcast which started out as being only Transformers-orientated but has since broadened itself out to include almost everything relating to geekness. The Old Oilhouse went online on the 3rd of October 2009 with Episode 2, Episode 1 was never released after two very unsuccessful recording sessions, one filled with drunken offensive ramblings and one with nonsensical geeky ramblings regarding "The god-damned Batman". The podcast is hosted by Adam, aka "Grufflock" and his two co-hosts Stu, aka "Darkageis" and Rob, aka "khaosenvy". While the main feature is The Old Oilhouse podcast, the site offers more smaller shows, video game reviews and a webcomic.

Tropes used in The Old Oilhouse include:
  • Growing the Beard: The podcasts improve over time in terms of sound quality and show content.
  • Special Guest: Grufflock will often interview someone from the Transformers fan community, have a special guest from a different podcast or even both.
  • Geek Reference Pool: It's a geek podcast this is inevitable.
