What Did You Do Yesterday? with Max Rushden & David O'Doherty
Keep It Light Media
SummaryWhat Did You Do Yesterday? is an endearingly obsessive deep dive into the most granular details of everyday life. Hosted by Max Rushden and David O’Doherty, the podcast operates on a brilliantly simple premise: they ask themselves—or a special guest—to recount exactly what they did yesterday, leaving no stone unturned. From the mundane logistics of grocery shopping and laundry drying racks to the existential weight of aging, sleep hygiene, and ill-fitting footwear, nothing is too trivial for analysis. Whether they are chatting with comedians like Kristen Schaal or Dan Tiernan, or simply checking in from their respective homes and travels, Max and David lean into the comedy of the everyday. The show thrives on their unique chemistry, characterized by playful bickering, surreal tangents, and a shared commitment to finding the humor in the unglamorous friction of modern living. You will frequently find them navigating recurring segments, such as their geopolitical guessing game They’re Just Normal Countries, or debating the aesthetic merits of household items. It is a warm, witty, and deeply relatable exploration of the human experience. If you enjoy conversations that veer from the deeply personal to the delightfully absurd, this show offers a front-row seat to the chaotic, hilarious, and often puzzling reality of just trying to get through the day.
