  • Season 4, Episode 7: 2 Year Anniversary!

    Alright gang, this week we’re taking a moment to celebrate a milestone.

    This week, Dimed Out celebrates it’s 2nd anniversary and to commemorate such a suprising landmark I’ve put together a good old fashioned compilation episode.


    Whether you’ve been with Dimed Out for a while or you’re new to this strange little adventure, this is a great episode to dive into as it stitches together a variety of archived clips that take you you through the origins, guests, topics, and developments over the last 2 years.

    To everyone who’s listened, participated, shared, told their grandparents about the podcast or just generally been supportive, a great big stinking thank you, from the bottom of my usually non-plussed northern heart.

  • Season 4, Episode 6 - Bizarrism with Mercer Blackwell

    Alright gang, this week I’m joined by Bizarrist and TikTok personality Mercer Blackwell.

    Mercer was kind enough to give me a crash course on the world of Bizarrism and a little glimpse into his live show. From swallowing coat hangers and creating personal souvenirs inside his body, Mercer has been heavily invested in curating memorable experiences for people through his unique performances.


    Potentially gippy inducing stage tricks aside, we also dive into the educational side of his TikTok output. From space toilets to hostile architecture and beyond.

    If you’ve enjoyed this episode (which you most definitely have) then be sure to check out more of Mercer’s output via the link below.

  • Season 4, Episode 5 - Rage Room

    Alright gang, this week we’re letting it all out of our system.


    In the first (of hopefully more) experience episodes in Season 4, I smashed the bejesus out of some Christmas crockery.

    Rage Rooms or Smash Rooms as they’re also known, seem to have grown in popularity since and during the pandemic. Admittedly they do seem to be quite the cathartic release. To see if this is the case or if they’re simply just a gimmicky day out, I visited a local Rage Room and let rip upon a crate of glass bottles and other smash-able items.

  • Season 4, Episode 2 - Deep into the Internet (Video Edition)

    Alright gang, in an effort to create a silly, nonsensical palette cleanser of sorts, I decided to take a look at what is considered to be the weirdest websites of 2022.

    Within this random mix I found (to name but a few things) an AI that guesses what your doodles are. The hypothetical meat market of Amazon dating. A yodelling pickle. And a comprehensive guide that helps you talk to your cat about gun safety, satanism and so much more.

  • Season 4, Episode 1 - Recovering From Religion

    Alright Gang, it's the Season 4 premiere and to kick things off I'm joined by psychologist, author, and all round font of knowledge on many topics, Dr Darrel Ray.


    From the confines of an impromptu makeshift studio in my closet, I was fortunate enough to chat with Darrel about religious trauma, purity culture, and his work with Recovering from Religion. An international non-profit built to help those who have left, are in the process of, or are considering, leaving religion.

    I cannot stress just how valuable the insight, expertise, and resources are over at Recovering from Religion, so if you or somebody you know is in need of help, please don't hesitate to reach out.

  • Season 3, Episode 17 - Furries

    Alright gang, this week we're taking a look at the world of furries.  


    With the help of some willing furries, I learn about 'fursonas' and how they can be either be a mirror for somebodies personality or a sense of escapism.  

    What role a pursuit plays in all of this and whether being a furry is an identity, a lifestyle, a hobby or all of the above.   

    We also touch upon the possibilities of sinking too deep into an invented character and whether or not furry culture itself warrants the sexual reputation it has.
