The Stew
and the Pelican

Coming soon

A microphone, a few questionable opinions and the sort of conversations that really ought to have stayed off the record.

David Pelican and Brent Stuart at the microphones

Meet the voices

David Pelican

David Pelican brings many years of advanced sales experience to The Stew & The Pelican, developed primarily on the shop floor of IKEA Milton Keynes.

Never one to be restricted by IKEA's traditional approach of allowing customers to wander around and buy whatever they actually came in for, David developed his own methods. Why simply help someone find a futon when you could identify additional opportunities involving cushions, storage solutions and, where appropriate, meatballs?

Having mastered retail, David has since broadened his expertise to include business, finance, personal development and life advice. He now shares his success with the listeners.

Brent “Beefstew” Stuart

Brent Stuart — Beefstew to his friends and fellow truth seekers — brings a rather different set of skills to the programme.

A hard-hitting investigative journalist in everything except formal employment, training and conventional methodology, Brent tackles the questions other broadcasters are either unwilling or strangely uninterested in asking.

His investigations have included the scientific study of pigeons and the rise of government surveillance, inconsistencies surrounding the Moon-landing footage and, inevitably, the Great Australia Debate.

Brent remains unconvinced by both flat-Earth and round-Earth extremists, preferring his own fluctuating-Earth model in which the planet periodically deforms in a manner similar to a tennis ball hitting the ground.

Brent is a keen unicyclist.

William Backbench

An older gentleman with strong opinions, a newspaper and a remarkable talent for making matters worse.

First episodes coming soon. The podcast is in development. Episode announcements and listening links will appear here when they're ready.
