From the other side

We'll be honest and say we didn't record an episode this week but nonetheless here's an episode from the backlog. And to be more honest this one's not a good episode so you can move past it if you want.

Please continue to support the motive otherwise :)

This week we discuss the woman that spent £36k on a gift for a man and how people get into those situations.

We look back on our first full year of doing this thing. We reminisce and call people to reminisce along with us and we attempted to call a listener also.

Have a listen and share.

We come back with a part two to our fandom discussion. The laptop is fully charged and we're ready to go.

We speak about fan culture and if we can see ourselves becoming fans or if we ever previously were.

This week we speak about halloween and our experience with it.

After a month hiatus we've got an exciting episode where we discuss our experiences surviving in our environments. And we actually ran away from drug dealers whilst recording this podcast.

It was exciting and as always introspective.

After 2 weeks we come back with a messy episode talking about our ambition, passions and rallying thousands of our fans to a non-existent Patreon page.
