The PickMaster General threw the panel a curve ball this week and asked them to rank their top 3 childhood fears. Will this episode explain something about Andy's obsession with ghosts, Gareth's fear of the fog and Martin's dislike of hospitals. As ever there is much debate and some derision about the choices but at the end of the day we all know what scared us as kids. Interact with the podcast via X or BlueSky and keep sending us your choices and opinions. There are no wrong choices, just poor opinions.…

The Pick 3 panel tackle the wide and varied topic "documentaries" on this weeks episode. As has become apparent over the course of the show, the age differential plays a significant role in choices, but as usual everyone finds something to spark debate.

The panel take a trip into the past and visit a prehistoric location to record with a listener, Victoria, who became "Pickmaster for a day" and who set the challenge to select our top three choices of historical events that we would like to have witnessed in person.

An episode that cannot possibly be predicted but hopefully an interesting selection to enjoy. Please continue to forward topic suggestions via our social media platforms on BlueSky and X, who knows maybe you will get to join us on the show!…

An early episode of the Pick 3 Show detailed our best purchases for under £100. It also led to a fierce argument over what constituted a purchase and what was in fact a subscription! Today's episode set the panel the challenge to identify the worst purchases that they had ever made. It is safe to say that there is almost no predictability in the panel's choices and, to be honest, there are a couple of fairly surprising admissions. Join us for what might be our most character revealing episode to date.…

Everyone has their favourites but it is interesting to see the age dynamic at work in this particular genre. All of the panel grew up in a different era and this is clearly reflected in their choices this week. Sitcoms used to be a family staple geared towards everyone, but more recently there are a wide range of niche options to suit a variety of tastes. As usual, there is plenty of spirited discussion as Martin, Gareth and Andy debate their personal choices.…

As Martin, Gareth and Andy meet to discuss their top 3 favourite phone apps, the generational differences become more obvious. For some practicality and essential services are the key considerations, for others it's about analysing product ingredients and collecting useful voice notes. As we say on the Pick 3 Show, there are no wrong answers but there can be some very dubious choices!…

With Pick 3 panellist Andy declaring his YouTube subscription as his top purchase under £100 (which earned him a yellow card warning from the Pickmaster General's office), the team decided to list their top 3 YouTube channels.

Interact with the podcast via Instagram or Bluesky and let your opinions feature on future episodes.…

The Pick 3 team meet to discuss the top 3 sporting moments that they have either witnessed live in venue or live on TV. Naturally our listeners will have their own personalised lists but a fascinating discussion which highlights how many different sports capture the panel's interest.

This weeks discussion revolves around top three items required to assist the panellists survive on a desert island. The brief appears remarkably simple but whilst some addressed survival concepts, others seemed to view it more light heartedly. Definitely an episode where the 3 decades of separation comes to the fore and one of the presenters definitely loses the plot.
