1The official podcast of the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}, hosted by LetsPlay/LewisBrindley and LetsPlay/SimonLane. Featured on [[http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-yogpod/id304557271 iTunes]] it consists of episodes of Lewis and Simon talking about no specific topic, so unsurprisingly has the same general rambling chatter as their gaming content.

4!!This podcast contains examples of:
5* BlandNameProduct: Crunchy Fried Wings, with its mascot, the General, in [=YoGPoD=] 15.
6* BrickJoke
7** A letter from "Nick Fuckface": Lewis refuses to read it at first, letting Simon do it in a following episode. It turned out to include the immortal line: '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZA44gHANaU "I am Dave ! Yognaut and I have the balls."]]'''
8** In one episode, Warwick Davis [[spoiler:goes down the drain in Simon's sink]]. In the next [=YoGPoD=], one of the dividers is [[spoiler:"Hello, I'm Warwick Davis and I'm in a sewer."]]
9** The [[spoiler:crusty old molester]] from the first ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' special makes a hilarious comeback in the second campaign:
10-->'''Mulchie:''' Does Madewyn recognize the [[spoiler:old man]]?\
11'''[[LetsPlay/HannahRutherford Hannah]]:''' Oh, god.\
12'''Simon:''' Oh, ''god''.
13* CreepyChild: Lewis' impression of one of these during the second Halloween [=YoGPoD=] gave Simon "the opposite of an erection".
14%%* DarkerAndEdgier: The Halloween podcasts tend to be more scary than normal.
15* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Episode 40 is titled "Christmas Special Fun Packed 2011 Special".
16** Also, there's this segment in episode 22:
17-->'''Simon:''' That was Mulchie! With "[=YoG=] and [=PoD=]", a cover of the Katy Perry song, "Hot and Cold", especially and exclusively for the [=YoGPoD=]! If any of our other listeners out there would like to cover a popular song, especially for the [=YoGPoD=], adding their own special lyrics about the special [=YoGPoD=] special, ''special'' '''special!''' Special! Then please, send your [=MP3's=] to yogscast@gmail.com.\
18'''Lewis:''' Thank you. Yes...\
19'''Simon:''' Special! I don't know what happened there, [[LampshadeHanging I just went a little bit mad.]]\
20'''Lewis:''' Spazzed out. Yeah, you did.\
21'''Simon:''' Special!
22** In this last instance, the word special and any variations of it were mentioned [[OverlyLongGag ten times.]]
23** Interestingly enough, both cases of this trope involve the word special.
24* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In the first episode of the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' [=YoGPoD=], Lewis refers to a man in an inn as '[[InvokedTrope barkeep]]', to which the man replies that [[SubvertedTrope he isn't a barkeep]], he's an innkeeper. He then reveals that his name is [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep Jeremy Innkeeper]].
25* FelonyMisdemeanor: During Episode 42, Simon becomes enraged when LetsPlay/{{Sips}} only knows Creator/RichardAttenborough as "the guy from Jurassic Park who looks like Colonel Sanders."
26* GagPenis: In the first ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' playthrough, Dylan has a noticeable bulge in his pocket.
27* IfItsYouItsOkay: Despite being a heterosexual, the innkeeper in the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' playthrough can't help but look longingly at Dylan.
28* LighterAndSofter: The third Halloween podcast had one scary story, but the rest were just ridiculous... and a large portion of it focused on Lewis having his wisdom teeth removed, which was more painful-sounding than scary.
29* MermaidProblem: Discussed in [=YoGPoD=] 21. According to Simon, Mermaids ''do'' have vaginas, but scaly ones.
30* {{Nerdgasm}}: Simon has one over ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' in [=YoGPoD=] 36.
31* NoYouHangUpFirst: In [=YoGPoD=] 2, Simon does this ''to himself'' while hanging up a phone call.
32* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Lewis' voice for Fulgrim the ex-pirate half-orc in the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' podcasts.
33-->'''Mulchie:''' Can I walk away from the man with the strange Irish-Scottish-Welsh accent, please?
34* OrAreYouJustHappyToSeeMe: Lewis assumes that Simon's ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' character's bulge is from him storing his lute.
35-->''Do you have a lute in your pocket or are you happy to see me?''
36* {{Scandalgate}}: The second [=YoGPoD=], Sipsgate, in which Lewis randomly calls his internet friend LetsPlay/{{Sips}} (who said to never, ever call him in real life except in emergencies related to their website, which at that time he was keeping up) ''three'' times for no reason other than entertainment. Luckily, the potential scandal and defriending is averted, and Sips is cool with it... as long as they don't call him ''again''.
37** Sips later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iScd030uJ0 gets revenge]] for Sipsgate, by repeatedly interrupting the 2011 Christmas livestreams to ask about his mic volume.
38* SerialEscalation: The absolutely ridiculous lengths that Simon supposedly went to to protect his jam from Brian Blessed.
39%%* SeriousBusiness: Simon protecting his jam.
40* ShoutOut: In [=YoGPoD=] 36, Simon mentioned that it would take a parsec to find his lost jam, especially if he used the [[Film/ANewHope Kessel Run]].
41* AStormIsComing: The metaphorical version of this is mocked in their [=YoGPoD=] interview with [[Series/GameOfThrones Hodor's actor, Kristian Naire]]: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILPqnZ1ZN0E]]
42-->'''Simon, [[ManOfAThousandVoices as Sean Bean]]:''' Winter is coming. [[BrickJoke And so am I.]] [[{{Squick}} Urrggh]]. [[invoked]]
43* StronglyWordedLetter: Lewis recounts that his father is so un-tech savvy that he sends these to then-prime minister UsefulNotes/GordonBrown.
44%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Brian Blessed has jam sandwiches.
45* YourMom: In [=YoGPoD=] 17, Simon makes a ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''-themed one of these, realises that the mechanic was revamped, and makes ''another'' one related to ''World of Warcraft''.
