    Welcome to episode 28 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode we discuss all sorts of strange jobs from years gone by such as 'Wool Fuller,' 'Panda Cuddler' and even a Gong Farmer' which Andre was saddened to find out is not growing giant metal gongs and ringing them.

  • Episode 27: What's In A Name?

    Welcome to episode 27 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode we discuss all sorts of names. Our names, the names of other people, unusual place-names and the difficulty people often have pronouncing names correctly.

    If you have a name that you find people often mispronounce or even misspell, let us know so we can attempt to get it right.

  • Episode 26: Our Way To Holiday

    Welcome to episode 26 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode we discuss the fact that for the most part, we holiday separately as a couple, and why we choose to do so.

    Kirsten takes the children on holidays geared towards long walks with the dogs, farm visits and plenty of outdoor spaces, whilst Andre often stays home to make music in the piece and quiet, or sometimes has a gig of his own which clashes with the week away.

  • Episode 25: Phone Or No Phone?

    Welcome to episode 25 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode we discuss the idea of banning phones in schools, what it means for communicating with parents, and some of the measures schools have taken to curb the use of phones both on and off school grounds.

    This will likely be quite a polarising episode and we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments, whether you're a parent or not.

  • Episode 23: Our Tech Of Yesteryear

    Welcome to episode 23 of StroongeCast.

    In this episode we discuss our thoughts on the tech of yesteryear, what sorts of computers, games consoles and phones we used, the usefulness of Ceefax and also the fact that our modern washing machine is leaking after only a year in-service.

    We complain about the fact that newer items just aren't made as well as their older counterparts, and realise that this definitely makes us seem old.
    What technology and/or other electronics do you remember liking when you were younger? did you have a favourite toy, game console or music player? Let us know.
