Enlightenment and Laughter: The Podcast

Elliot is back on the pod for the first time in ages and through a long raw conversation with Aidan, they both begin to realise the magic of the podcast. Their bond thrives despite not talking in a while due to college and secondary school. They discuss a plethora of topics including Christmas plans (this was filmed at the beginning of December), how Elliot is copying with GCSE year as well as their shared love of books/reading.

Merry Christmas From Everyone Here At Enlightenment and Laughter!

Aidan and Sharkey sit down to discuss their favourite day of the year! They'll discuss Christmas movies, and songs alongside their own Christmas day plans. However, it is not only the present they look into, as they reminisce on past Christmases, their traditions and memories.

In this episode, Aidan and Sharkey help catch you up on how Elliot, Rook and Sky are dealing with GCSE year! And you'll quickly find out that there are more negatives than positives

In this episode, Aidan takes the hot seat, which turns into a hilarious moment when Sharkey becomes our solo host. Aidan opens up about the intensity of MT College, his body issues, and dealing with his ASD during the change. But in true Aidan and Sharkey style, we get lost in multiple hilarious tangents!

In this episode, Sharkey is in the hot seat when it comes to how their life has changed since starting college. They discuss new teachers, making new friends and how college differs from high school. But Aidan and Sharkey are involved so... YES! Of course, there will be tangents!!

In this episode, Aidan is flying solo in our first attempt at a solo podcast. He gets to talk about the inspiring winners of the 'The Pride Of Britain Awards' 2024 and what they have been recognised for. The awards stand for the same values as E&L and the incredible winners showcase the pure joy people need in their lives. Aidan also has the opportunity to discuss the inspiring work of the 'Remember Rufus' charity run by Ceri Amphlett and Billy Key who lost their son tragically but were lucky enough to have a couple of days with him to create memories as a family thanks to CuddleCots so their aim now is to try and supply as many hospitals as they can with CuddleCots to enable other grieving parents to have that healing experience.

In the newest episode, it's an episode from the archives in the form of the duologue that Aidan and Sharkey performed on Zoom back at the beginning of the podcast. It's a scene from the 2005 revival of Doctor Who with The Doctor (Christopher Eccleson) and Rose (Billie Piper) but Aidan was able to re-edit the audio clip and remove the zoom delay! So now the scene flows better!

This is the beginning of a new idea being brought to the podcast through the use of the acting passion shared by a couple of the podcast members, so some of the episodes will display monologues, duologues and group scenes performed by our team.
