Shed Sessions

Warren is in Germany talking about his Smurf toys. As usual, he allows himself to be transported away with the objects he has brought along and he generously takes us with him. There's some crazy coincidences as he discovers that he is standing in the very place where Nirvana played their last ever show! The podcast keeps on growing and Warren stays true to the art of storytelling to deliver the most relaxing and entertaining chat I have heard in ages.

Warren keeps us close as he sets the scene for yet another incredible episode. We learn about how he prepares for a recording with a listen to a favourite album. This time it's Pink Floyd's Ummagumma. He has a wonderful way of sharing a story and by the time he gets to talking about these iconic 80s action figures, we are fully engaged and ready for anything as long as he keeps guiding us along with his clam positivity and enthusiasm. Warren played with MOTU when he was a kid in the 80s and in fact he still takes them out of the display cabinet every so often for a whirl. Right now is your lucky moment as our host is ready for you to play, reminisce, escape and look ahead with him. Thank for listening.

Warren is back for the final season of this podcast and he's off to a fantastic start. He's taken the show back to it's roots with toys and objects from his childhood in the 1980s. We get to hear a wonderful conversation with Warren and his very special guest, Hannah, about Silly Putty. There are are clues as to what the season has in store for us and there is so much to look forward to. I'm gutted he's told us that this is the final season, but have decided to relish each second and enjoy the ride. Thank you for listening.

Warren gets a head start on packing his suitcase and then does a quick 15 minute workout. He makes the most of his last day in South Africa by visiting an old school friend at Papuzzi's, then a quick browse in Microgram record shop before he heads home to catch the last rays of summer sun at his mom's place. He takes us along to the petrol station then misses a turn for the airport car rental drop off. The rain pours down and it's a long night on board the Boeing 737. The news upon arrival at Heathrow is that South Africa has let a new covid variant loose and must be red listed again. Warren arrives home and starts self isolating in the shed where he records this extraordinary penultimate episode of what has been the best season yet. Thank you for listening. 

Warren enjoys his last evening in South Africa with Ephimia. There's a wood fire, barking dogs, skidding cars and the neighbour's bath water rushing through the drains. Besides all of that, E talks with Warren about her family corner shop in the West Rand. We learn how the fish and chips were made and how this family business was run. There's a pinball and a Pac Man machine and the smells of freshly baked bread, Coca Cola burps and cigarette smoke. Warren and E are children of the eighties and the corner shop was a big part of their lives during this time. Take a nostalgic journey with the pair as they share their conversation with passion for a very special time gone by. Thank you for listening.

Warren shares his daily diary from the Blue Marlin Hotel in Scottburgh, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa. Another long beach walk, an inspection of the water slide and a swim with his Ma in the hotel pool. Together they visit the local shopping mall as well as a favourite wave pool. Vervet monkeys with babies keep a watch over the hotel carpark, Warren eats Bunny Chow for dinner and the stories continue to flow like the lagoon at the main beach. This episode takes us on another relaxing journey through a once in a lifetime visit. It keeps getting better! Thank you for listening. 

Join Warren and his Ma on a once in a lifetime road trip form the City of Gold to Scottburgh on the south coast of Natal. Warren records his daily audio diary from his room in the iconic Blue Marlin Hotel. You can hear the gentle hum of the warm Indian Ocean blended with the sounds of an otherworldly choir of crickets. Warren has a knack for discussing every day things that we would normally never expect to talk about or to hear. It's the filling in of the gaps, the words and ideas in the background, classic b side stuff that Warren so skilfully brings to the fore for us to all enjoy wherever and whenever we want. This episode is dedicated to Warren's lovely Ma. Thank you for listening.
