  • Episode 51: Playground Collectibles

    Welcome to episode 51 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode we discuss the items we used to collect as kids back in the 90's, and some of the more modern trends such as Labubus and Jellycats.

    Kirsten remembers collecting Pogs and Spice Girl cards, whilst Andre didn't collect much of anything, though he remembers the old beep and bloop LCD games of the late 80's early 90's heard around the school playground.

    What did you collect as children? Do you collect anything now? Did your parents tell you about anything they collected as children?

  • Episode 48: Back To Reality

    Welcome to episode 48 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode we're home after our holiday, and it's a bit of a hard bump back to earth.

    Between the 31C heat on Tuesday, to the return to normality, it feels a little like it didn't happen at all.
    We do have all the videos, recordings, photos and memories to prove that it did however.
    We also have a wish for a much larger bed, since the ship bed spoilt us for how spacious it was.

  • Episode 44: Communication Is Key

    Welcome to episode 44 of StroongeCast with our first ever special guest.

    In this episode we discuss the merits of proper communication in a relationship and how stressful it can sometimes be to make your thoughts understood without offending your partner.

    Ed tells us about some of the holidays he's been on which caused him to feel claustrophobic and stifled when he'd just like to sit down with a good book and relax, whilst Andre and Kirsten explain the difficulties they had aboard a cruise ship for their tenth wedding anniversary, and how they failed to talk things out properly. Six years has allowed them to look back over that holiday and talk things out better for next time.

    We'd like to thank Ed Pourtahmasbi for being guest number one on the podcast and hope to have many more in future.

  • Episode 43: Why Are You So Jealous?

    Welcome to episode 43 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode Kirsten explains an article she found in which a woman suffers from severe jealousy due to a medical condition known as Othello Syndrome. We discuss what would cause us to be jealous in our relationship, explain reasons why it doesn't really apply, but also how it may become a problem if the right conditions were ever reached.

    Some information from the article:

    The idea of the lie detector test came after Steve made a passing comment about not having done anything wrong, and would "even take a lie detector to prove it," which spurred his wife to make a purchase. This happened right at the beginning of their relationship, when they lived very far away from each other.

    The source for this episode can be found here: 'World's most jealous woman' demanded husband take lie detector tests after going out https://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/sex-relationships/relationships/worlds-most-jealous-woman-demanded-32229531?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target

  • Episode 42: Don't Treat Me Like A Princess

    Welcome to episode 42 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode Kirsten delves into an article in which a woman expects princess treatment from her husband in restaurants or whenever they're out together as a couple.

    From ordering her food, to tying her shoelaces, nothing is seemingly off the table.
    Our opinion is that this behaviour somewhat infantalises a person, and allows them to avoid adult responsibilities in these situations.
    The couple have children as well, so if this is also continued in the home, it becomes normalised and thus the children may expect it from their partners when older.

    One of the sources mentioned can be found here
