  • Episode 18 - Week 5: The Yakuza One

    Episode 18 - Week 5

    A walking episode. In this one I encounter many people carrying bags of rubbish, a Mum or two, some cicadas, and the memory of a time I met the local Yakuza boss.

  • Episode 15: Week 4 - Dead end bonanza

    Episode 15 - Week 4:

    Cycling today, so just a tiddler. Honestly, I've forgotten what I said, but I know I mentioned the perils of showering/sweating when hairy, got frustrated by dead ends, fought a bear, won a Pulitzer prize, and raised the titanic from the depths. Ah, nobody reads these bits anyway, do they?

  • Episode 14: Week 4 - The Entertainer

    Episde 14 - Week 4...Tuesday

    It was a long weekend, and we went to Tokyo. So most, if not all, of this week's episode is a review of the weekend. The main gist of it is me complaining, but honestly, I had a nice time. The first 5 minutes is a kind of tribute to a great man who died last night, Kevin Keegan. So if you're an NUFC fan tuning in to listen for the first time, yes, the rest of it is normally a bit like that. If you're not that into football, or the heroes therin, maybe skip the first 5 minutes...

  • Episode 13 - Week 3: Pouch or testicles?

    Episode 13 - Week 3: Pouch or testicles?

    No visuals, thankfully. Besides, it's all about the animals. I had a request not to drink, so far no request to stop breathing. I walked again, so it's long. Apologies to the makers of In the Night Garden for the inclusion of a bit of the theme music...

  • Episode 12 - Week 3: Think Locally, F**k Globally?

    Episode 12 - Week 3:

    Another slog of a walk, another sweaty boy, another litre of water. I briefly got deep, then remembered who I am (thanks laughing lady). There are cheeky/polite schoolchildren, a bowing old lady, a bit of a hug, and the rest, I've forgotten. You will too! So it can't do any harm to have a bit of a listen.

  • Episode 11 - Week 3 - Rock Hard Calves

    Episode 11 - Week 3: Tuesday

    It's a long one! There's some child's play to kick things off, a helpful man makes an appearance more than once, and a novel route is taken, as are photographs. Also featuring an aeroplane, lots of rubbish, rivers, banging, possible chamomile, irked schoolgirls, student gauntlets, a litre of water, and a Scot.

  • Episode 10 - Week 3 - Taco not Tako

    Episode 10 - Week 3;

    I made it to episode 10! So did you. We both deserve a medal. Today I'm tired from socialising. Fully whacked. It's a car episode, so tune on for a run-down of my weekend. #fatigue

  • Episode 9 - Week 2: Another Litre

    Week 2 - Episode 9

    It's Friday! I'm on the bike today. I've received parental advice, kind of, and there's some hot stripping action (unrelated). The peak, again, is me downing a litre of water. Stay tuned to witness that in audio form. There's some exciting new theme music too, courtesy of Suno...
