  • Episode 41: Seven Deadly Tins

    Welcome to episode 41 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode Andre again headed to Mastodon to ask a question of the fediverse.

    'What seven things would you absolutely *not* want to eat from a tin?'
    A lot of answers came in and we also add our own.

    If you live in a place that adds nasty things to tins you think we should know about, we'd love to know more.

  • Episode 40: See How You Do!

    Welcome to episode 40 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode we ask a few questions of one another that your partner should know about you.

    can you answer these about your partner or friends? How much do you really know?
    We also talk about the difference in heat between places like the UK and the Caribbean, and the fact that UK houses don't often have AC, so are harder to cool down during hot spells such as the one we're currently under.

  • Episode 39: Is It Just Us?

    Welcome to episode 39 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode we discuss how difficult it is for Kirsten and Andre to call each other by name when addressing one another directly. Apparently it isn't just us either, but we haven't found a name for this particular phenomenon. When on the phone to friends or family, it seems perfectly normal to do so. We only realised we had this strange problem almost 18 years into our relationship, so we started to research it.

    We also try to work out why both our TikTok accounts have seemingly been banned from the platform permanently, which is a discovery we made when we woke up this morning.

  • Episode 34: We Don't Care To Swear

    Welcome to episode 34 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode we discuss a youtube comment that we received on the previous episode, complaining that our lack of bad language made the podcast essentially unlistenable, and that 'there's no such thing as bad language' so swearing is a must. Naturally, we're here to refute this.
