🎙 "Whisper Wednesday LMBYTS #1463 – Jason Newland – 15th October 2025"
🕒 Duration: 48 minutes, 17 seconds
🔗 View the full transcript here 📝 Summary: Jason Newland delivers a gentle, conversational, and whisper-toned monologue designed to soothe listeners into sleep or relaxation. This episode flows between personal reflections, humorous tangents, and quiet storytelling—punctuated by the consistent presence (and noises) of his co-host pup, Vinny.

🎧 Main Themes Covered: 1. Technical Frustrations with Video Production

• Jason discusses his recent attempt to record a video version of his podcast.
• The video was broken into multiple large files (10–18 GB each) and proved extremely difficult to upload to Google Drive or iCloud.
• After an entire night of failed uploads, he salvaged the project by extracting the audio and publishing it as a podcast.
• He expresses frustration over how time-consuming video editing is and resolves to stick with audio-only podcasting.

2. Behind-the-Scenes of Podcasting

• Jason walks listeners through his workflow: recording, editing, uploading, generating images, crafting descriptions and tags, and publishing.
• Emphasizes how much time it takes to properly prepare a podcast episode.
• Reflects on how sticking with audio is best for consistency and his workflow.

3. Life with Vinny the Dog

• Vinny frequently interrupts the recording with grooming, pacing, and making noise.
• Jason affectionately calls him his "co-host" and jokes about how Vinny seems to act up more when he’s whispering.
• Notes how Vinny reacts when it’s time to go for a walk (drinking tons of water first!) and how he interacts with another dog, Archie, whom Vinny adores.

4. Childhood & Random Memories

• Jason has a stream-of-consciousness moment about:
  • Getting called "slaphead" by a local dog-walker.
  • His brief attempts at fashion—especially in his teens and late 90s when he was very physically fit.
  • Being influenced by a fashionable friend named Justin as a teenager.
  • Working out, buying trendy clothes, and showing off muscles (with no photo proof because it was pre-smartphone era).
• Reminisces about junior school drawing sessions, cleaning jobs on the docks, and early friendships that started off rocky but grew strong.

5. TV Nostalgia

• Shares TV shows he remembers from his youth: Andy Pandy, Crossroads, Rent-A-Ghost, Tiswas, Swap Shop, The Muppets, Banana Splits, and Wacky Races.
• Explains how certain shows were tied to specific memories—like heading back to the children's home after a weekend visit.

6. Living Situation & Neighbors

• Mentions helping a neighbor move a sofa into her flat.
• Describes his enjoyment of a quiet building full of people he doesn’t have to interact with directly.
• Wonders whether one neighbor might have a cat on a leash (!), based on a mysterious sighting in the garden.

7. Reflections on Memory & Time

• Expresses a wish to have photos of his childhood rooms and past life experiences.
• Talks about the unreliability of memory and the power of storytelling as a way to preserve the past.
• Jokes about how his body “predicts” the weather (his back for rain, knee for sun, etc.) and pokes fun at the concept.

8. Closing Thoughts

• Realizes how fast time passed during the recording (50 minutes felt like 5).
• Leaves listeners with comforting reminders to:
  • Be kind to yourself.
  • You deserve to feel safe and be happy.
  • Ends with his signature: "Lots of love. Bye."

🧠 Tone & Style:

• Whispered, slow, and meditative, with a touch of Jason’s characteristic dry humor and storytelling.
• Feels like a cozy late-night chat with a friend who’s rambling in the most calming way possible.
• Ideal for bedtime listening or stress relief.

#1454 Whisper Let Me Bore You to Sleep – 4th October 2025
🕒 Duration: 52 minutes, 12 seconds
🔗 View Full Transcript

🛌 OVERVIEW: This episode is classic Jason Newland — a sleepy, humorous, stream-of-consciousness-style ramble designed to lull listeners into slumber. He reflects on small irritations, random anecdotes, and absurd musings, all delivered in a gentle, whispered tone. It’s full of quirky tangents, odd humor, and some surprisingly thoughtful reflections on identity, inclusion, and acceptance.

🧵 MAIN TOPICS COVERED: 💤 Sleep Routine Disrupted

• Jason starts by sharing how his Friday night sleep routine — listening to Nick Abbott’s lighthearted LBC radio show — was interrupted by a serious news broadcast.
• He humorously vents his frustration with current events taking over his relaxation time.

🎯 Paralympics & Disabilities

• A lengthy and meandering reflection on sports, particularly the Special Olympics/Paralympics.
• Musings on whether certain sports (e.g., archery, javelin) are suitable for blind athletes, with a mix of admiration, confusion, and dark humor.
• Jason questions what "fairness" means in sports and explores the purpose of ability-based categories.

🧬 Ginger Identity & Personal Reflections

• A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to talking about gingers:
  • Childhood teasing and playground bullying around hair color.
  • Family history of redheads.
  • Dating history involving ginger women (he counts at least 7 past relationships!).
  • Reflections on ginger representation in society.
• He jokingly considers starting a charity for gingers, only to be told by a fictional charity rep that it’s not a great idea.
• Ends with musings on Ed Sheeran’s success despite societal biases against gingers — Jason praises him as an unlikely pop hero.

😂 Bizarre Tangents & Humor

• Considers starting a charity called “Nothing They Can’t Do” — mocked for being too optimistic.
• Imagines Ed Sheeran posters being put up “facing the wall” as a joke.
• Random, surreal thoughts like whether a powerlifter on a bus could lift the bus if it broke down.
• A fake argument with an imaginary woman about Ready Brek (a British hot cereal).

📉 Self-Deprecating & Meta Commentary

• Jason frequently breaks the fourth wall, joking about how boring the episode is.
• Acknowledges how many episodes he records and how it’s hard for listeners to keep up.
• Notes that some people may listen only once and forget the recording — but he still sees it as an expression of creativity and art.

💡 THEMES & TAKEAWAYS:

• Humor as Comfort: Even when topics turn bizarre or controversial, the tone remains playful and soothing.
• Inclusion & Identity: Jason uses humor to explore how society views differences — whether physical ability, hair color, or fame.
• Self-Awareness: There’s a charming blend of nonsense and honesty. He knows he’s rambling, and he leans into it.

📌 NOTABLE QUOTES: "If you've ever been attacked by a wheelchair... it's proper. They aim for your ankles." "I'm balder than my dad who's about 700 years old." "You can't even start a charity for ginger people. They don't allow it." "Do you think if Ed Sheeran dyed his hair, he would look human?" "Remember to be kind to yourself. You deserve to be happy and feel safe." 📦 BONUS MENTION:

• Mentions OpenAI and ChatGPT — saying if you’d invested in it in 2023, you’d have made 10x your money by 2025!
• Ends on a note about ordering Ready Brek from Amazon — and being slightly betrayed by someone eating it all.

#1452 Whisper – Let Me Bore You To Sleep (3rd October 2025)

Early-morning, soft-spoken ramble to lull you back to sleep. Jason wakes before dawn, checks stats and emails, and chats about Vinnie’s unexpectedly cuddly mood, late-night noises outside, and nostalgic detours—from John McEnroe’s fame to TV memories. There’s gentle background life stuff (sound-dampening curtains, a squeaky desk, chilly mornings), a light skim of entertainment chatter, and the usual soothing sign-off to be kind to yourself. Perfect for nodding off. Timestamps

• 00:00–01:00 Quiet intro; woke up early, Vinnie’s up too.
• 01:03–02:00 Vinnie sits at Jason’s feet (rare for this early).
• 07:51–10:10 Sweet moment: Vinnie naps with his chin on Jason’s thigh.
• 14:53–16:05 Woken in the night by shouting/banging outside.
• 16:05–21:07 John McEnroe memories and how his tantrums made tennis “exciting.”
• 22:06–23:02 Sound-dampening curtains & hoping for quieter winter nights.
• 34:49–38:34 Celebrity Big Brother 2024 chatter; Sharon Osbourne as “celebrity lodger.”
• 40:06–41:11 Light headline skimming; mentions a music-producer relationship item.
• 45:52–47:36 Today’s plan: breakfast, TV, possible nap, later Q&A Friday.
• 48:03–48:51 Sleepy, kind sign-off: “Be gentle with yourself… you deserve to be happy.”
