The BEARD MAIL Podcast

Space, what is it? That's a question that has puzzled philosophers and scientists for centuries. And it's still a bit of a mystery. We know that space is the void that exists between matter, but beyond that, it's hard to say exactly what space is.

As for what space smells like, that's another mystery. Some people say it smells like nothing at all. Others say it smells faintly of roses or something sweet. But the truth is, we don't really know. astronauts who have been to space say it has a special smell, but they can't quite describe it. So for now, the jury is still out on what space smells like. But one day, perhaps we'll find out.

If you're looking for a blast from the past, look no further than 90s fashion. From shell suits to fila trainers, this decade was all about making a statement. And what statement could be bolder than a pair of reebok pumps?

What could be more retro than the humble Freddo? In recent years, the price of Freddos has soared, with some stores charging as much as 50p for a single frog. This price hike has caused outrage among many fans.

No matter what your opinion on the matter, there's no denying that Retro sweets provide the window to our childhood memories. 

Is the humble selection box over-rated?

Are sweets better now than they were in the 80s/90s?

Dieting is a multi-billion dollar industry, and there's always a new fad diet on the market promising quick and easy results. However, the truth is that most diets are ineffective at best, and many can actually be harmful to your health. The key to maintaining a healthy weight is to eat a balanced diet and get regular exercise. Fad diets typically involve cutting out entire food groups or eating ridiculously large amounts of one particular food. This can lead to unhealthy weight loss, as well as nutrient deficiencies. In addition, fad diets are often unrealistic and difficult to maintain over the long term. 

We talk about the diets we've tried and which ones we have found that helped us.

There's nothing quite like the atmosphere of a festival. Whether it's a music festival, a food festival, or a festive celebration of culture, festivals provide a unique and memorable experience. I've had the opportunity to attend several festivals over the years, and each one has left me with some amazing memories. From the sights and sounds of the different stalls and attractions to the delicious food and drink on offer, festivals are truly a sensory feast. I've also loved getting to meet new people from all walks of life at festivals. 

Damo has never been to a music festival!! Whaaat?! A Beardmail road trip may have to be on the cards...

Who knows, you might just find your new favourite thing!

A podcast about social media. Argued that social media is addictive. The dopamine hit we get from social media contributes to our addiction. 

When we get a notification or like on social media, our brain gets a dopamine hit. This encourages us to come back for more. They use features such as notifications, infinite scrolls, and autoplay to keep us engaged. 

Is social media addictive? It appears that it might be.

The inaugural Opies Beard and Moustache Championships was held back in May, and Beard Mail went to check it out. The event was a huge success and an awesome day out. Beard Mail is a podcast all about the beard community, so we were interested to see how Jamie Cox, founder of Opies Beard Co and Opies Beard and Moustache Championships, felt the event went. He told us that he was really pleased with how the event went and that it was great to see so many people coming together to celebrate the bearding community. 

The event was raising money for Daisy's Dream, a local charity in Reading that helps support children that have suffered bereavement in the family or have a family member with life threatening illness. 

We'll be sure to enter again next year!
