  • Litter

    Oh delight! This week Lisa is re-joined by the amaaaazing Vicky, and new Enthusiast Toni

    What's your view on people littering? Is there ever a legitimate reason for littering? Have you ever had a life or death situation which has prompted you to litter?

    Engage your inner Womble, and listen in to these three talking litter. There's a hundred quid on offer if you do not cry with laughter*

    *there isn't a hundred quid on offer, but you MUST be crying at some point....

  • Tattoos

    Have you had one in Benidorm? Is it the Japanese symbol for 'courage'? Do you think they're body art, or the sort of thing that doesn't look great on a pasty lass from Preston?

    Why is Lisa unusually diplomatic on this subject? Will we ever know...

    Thanks to Enthusiast Neil (not our Neil, another one) for the suggestion, we'd be really interested in your feedback ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Manflu

    To a woman, it is but the 'common cold', to a man, it's a life threatening illness. But it isn't all bad is it? Even, lying bravely in his deathbed, Wayne was pondering the positives of manflu, and how to be Enthusiastic about a subject that threatens the very existence of the males of the species.

    Right, think that'll have caused enough rage to encourage more listeners now. Listen in as Lisa and Wayne talk about the many benefits of having a cold. We'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this one as always!

    Oh, and if you've a few quid to spare, fancy buying us a coffee? We don't actually use it for coffee, more for feeding and clothing our children, although we'll probably just spend it on boosted posts to spread the word - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheEnthusiasts

  • Passengers

    Unusually we keep on subject. Mostly as Lisa & Wayne had an appointment with a strange man from Bolton in a cold, dark lake. Anyway....

    What's your strategy for avoiding talk to a stranger while travelling? Do you reassure fellow travellers by lying that plummeting towards the earth is perfectly normal? In this episode we reassure ourselves that humanity is 99.9% beautiful and travelling is the best thing ever!

  • Recycling

    From Household Waste Centres we talk all things recycling in this episode.... what sort of waistcoat do you have? I don't like Paisley it's like eyes looking at me. Ah, but what about the small ones?

    Yes... it's 'that' sort of episode. Soz. But we do talk about recycling a little bit, including why a member of Lisa's family keeps buying her donated stuff from the charity shops...

  • Humour

    Is there anything funnier than a fart joke, the Whoopee cushion, or the beans scene in Blazing Saddles?ย 

    What's your favourite comedy film, show, book, podcast (Enthusiasts, obvs). Lisa and Wayne take a whistle-stop tour around the world of comedy. Expect a bit of chortling, guffawing, and will Lisa snort like a pig?

    We know, we know, we made it to Season 2. Nobody's more surprised than we are. Feels like we've gone all Netflix! Thanks for all your support during Season 1, let us know if there's anything you want us to Enthuse about!

  • Gossip

    Ooh, you'll never guess what Wendy's been up to now... and I can't even begin to START on what Vicky was up to last night...

    Fabrication. Obvs. (although it was Wendy's birthday last week, so we can assume much). This week though, Wayne and Lisa gossip about Gossip. Do you catch up with it while making a brew? Or are you more American, and catch up over the water cooler?

    Whatever your view, are you a gossip fan, or do you just enjoy nattering. Lisa comes out with some amazing prehistoric FACT to explain why it is that the fairer sex may gossip more than the gruff blokes

  • Sweets

    Another EXCITING episode - Bownie is too busy with work, Lisa was off gadding about, so Wayne got in touch with Vicky on Instagram (chortle) for a natter. Despite Wayne's best efforts, Vicky refused to have 'Lisa' as the episode title, so we launch into sugary goodness...

    There's a LOT of common ground here, and we'll definitely have another two or three episodes to come, but what's your favourite sweet? Give us your childhood sweety stories!

    There's more heartbreak here from Vicky though, it'll really tug your heart strings on a number of levels

  • Youth

    VERY excitingly we are joined by a new Enthusiast this week - long term fan of the chat, and friend of Lisa - the amazing Wendy!

    We talk about Youth - what is it? How is it defined? Are we, at 28 years old, still youths (yoofs?)?ย  Wendy wears her coolest t-shirt - with Stationery on!ย  This leads us on to Wendy's collections, and what happened to them - prepare for highs and lows in this chat

    Wayne also uses all his journalistic skills to interrogate Wendy for stories about Lisa - but what juicy gossip will she disclose?

  • Salted Caramel

    It's Salty, it's Caramely, it's salty sweet goodness. Or is it? Mixed emotions here, and we always struggle with the two-worded episodes. Is it just another hipster fad or is it something we can eat with celebrity acquaintances in a brownie?

    Lisa is UnEnthusiastic. Yeah, we know, we never thought it'd happen....

    Does anyone else do 'double d' as their holiday treat? You'll have to tune in to understand what that means.
