Tip Tap Tip is an audio podcast from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. For over 450 episodes, Eric & Rachelle, have covered odd news items and current events with their own special brand of degenerate humor. Few subjects are off-limits, including the detailed (and at times, juicy) specifics of their lives.
TTT 553: Buddy
It turns out that AI isn’t quite ready to take over writing duties yet when it comes to writing the show outline. Robots: you either get us or you don’t. We make the most of it and try to get through the stories the robots suggested – even when they are just dumb. Tip Tap […]

It’s Eurovision time so that means it’s Tip Tap Tip time. Eric and Rachelle and back in Studio A to bring you more of what you want.

TTT 545: Barbarism Begins At Home
Still recording on an old mic as our studio setup is blocked by boxes and junk. Deal with it. In this episode, the children join us, then leave, then come back, then fight each other.

TTT 539: Mixed Bag
Sometimes intentions and execution don’t line up. This was supposed to be a summer recap / 1990s episode and it kind of is – but not really. It looks like we have a new co-host with the youngest child. At least, until he becomes a moody teenager. Call us! Seriously, we only mention it like […]

TTT 535: Free To Choose
In the episode, we test out a new piece of studio equipment and are dazzled (also confused) by what it exactly does other than make sound effects and record our voices and clips.

TTT 526: Slow To Learn
Yes. The audio quality is garbage. We know!
