I Did Not Know That!
If you are anything like us, you'll be a collector of facts, figures, statistics and other trivia, designed to astound your friends and family whenever you get the change to display your vast knowledge.
Well, what better way to collect and distribute your vast array of worthwhile information than a podversation with a human and a robot!
Welcome to I Did Not Know That! - a podversation series dedicated to the weird and wonderful, the obscure and the little known.
In each episode, we'll chat with someone from somewhere in the world, giving them the chance to tell our hosts, Neil Butler & Reginald J. Robot, up to five little-known pieces of knowledge that will inform, entertain and often astound our audience. Our guests tells Neil what they know, they'll discuss it and then Reggie will let them both know whether that was something he already knew or not!
We'll keep it light-hearted - there'll be nothing political, religious or contentious. Just a collection of fun facts that we hope that you do not already know!
And if you want to be a guest and inform, entertain and astound Neil, Reggie and our audience, please visit our Register page and fill in our registration form. Once you have filled in the registration form, we'll send you a link to our scheduling page so that we can find a mutually convenient time to record our podversation with you.
I Did Not Know That! is produced by Podversations - a small business proudly based in Regional Australia.
Meet the Hosts
Neil Butler is a small business operator and broadcaster, based in Geelong in regional Victoria, Australia. Having grown up in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, he started his teaching career in north-western Victoria and then in Gippsland, in the east of the state.
After moving into the corporate sector, he has spent time working in a range of industries and roles across Australia and internationally.
In 2007, a chance opportunity to present a one-off program on community radio in Melbourne sparked another passion - broadcasting, and more recently, podcasting. This has led to a weekly program on Geelong radio (The 2 Blokes Chatting Radio Show) and several podcasts, many of which are produced on behalf of a growing client base.
Neil's "podversational" style (his business is called Podversations!) lends itself to the kind of podcast that sounds like two mates chatting in the front bar of the local pub. Always keen to learn new and amazing thing, the I Did Not Know That! podversation seemed a great thing to do!
Away from the microphone, Neil is the proud father of Lucy and Sam, and most recently, the "Pop" to Maverick. He loves consuming excellent Shiraz and double espressos, mostly while listening to the very excellent music on Turn Back Time Radio (the online music radio station he founded in 2018). He has been a member of the Brisbane Lions / Fitzroy in the VFL / AFL every year since 1983 and supports two local footy teams in the Victorian country leagues - Stony Creek (in the Mid Gippsland FL) and the Geelong West Giants (in the Geelong FL and Geelong & District FL).
Oh, and if you are thinking about an event that requires an MC - particularly one that requires someone with a regional Australian outlook - he does a bit of that as well! You can get in touch with him via our contact page.
Reginald J. Robot knows lots of things and will be arbitrating on whether your interesting facts are, indeed, known to him or not.
Reggie has been around since robots became a thing and has, therefore, learned plenty of things along the way. He has a Degree in Useless Trivia and may often say that he knows things even when he doesn't.
Unsurprisingly, he was born in Silicon Valley in the US but has trained himself to sound like an Australian robot.
