The Enthusiasts

Functional headwear or fashion adornment?

Only for the ladies, Peaky Blinders or Victorians?

From Top, to Bowler, to Flat Cap and Pork Pie in the male section. Then a load of floppy, mesmerising stuff in the ladies

Cathy from the Climber's Shop joins in on this one, and please do check out her new modelling shots on their website. Her and Lisa are definitely two peas popped from the same pod

Cheese, fromage, queso, käse. Whichever language you say it in, it's full of glorious dairy goodness (except the vegan ones)

But what do you put it on? Does it need accompaniment? What's your fave?

Is a sliver enough (no, obvs), is it a starter?

Lisa and Wayne are let loose so there's no Elephant this week ;)

Don't forget to tune in to our Facebook page to see what the next subject will be that we'll be recording - either Wednesday or Friday at around 11:55am GMT

From SuperClubs to super clubs. Intimate to Indie. This episode we talk about some of our nightclub experience.

Does the perfect club need gourmet food?

How do YOU dance to Lionel Ritchie (Lisa will blow your mind with this one)

Have you got a glitterball and a rotating dancefloor in your home? No? Why Not?!

Sorry about the big intro on this one, it isn't Episode 20, Wayne....

Culture, cuisine, canals!  Wigan is one of the gems in the Northern crown, but we barely scratched the surface of the  butter pie in this episode

'Is that vegetarian chilli?', asks a young Lisa in her staff canteen, but what is the response?

Where did the singer from Starsailor actually come from? Where did he work?

Find out the truth about Wigan pier*

If you're Wiganese, this is a must-listen (please don't hurt us though), if you're not, it's an education

*noting we don't verify any facts at all, and we've been proven wrong before

Pronunciation, meaning, innuendo, etymology, homophones, is there no end to our knowledge? (Turns out there is, obvs)

Who would have known a subject could cause such rage in Lisa?

Frolic and gambol with us as we talk... Words

"Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?", so said Nick Hornby in his book High Fidelity. This week, thanks to The Great Enthused member Ginty, we discuss musical dirge - is it actually good? Or music to listen to when you've had a relationship break up?

Listen as Lisa expresses her distaste at people who wang on about music... then starts to wang on about music.

Listen as Neil tells of the break up mix tape he made for his lime green Vauxhall Chevette 1.6GL, when he broke up with Sinitta (no, not the one that sang So Macho in the '80's)

And of course, what is The Elephant In The Room this week?

Keep an eye on Spotify for our break up playlist coming soon. It'll be tragic...

Are you a weirdo that loves fish on your pizza, or a genius that loves a bit of sweet pineappley goodness?

What's your favourite topping for a jacket spud? Microwaved or oven baked? Hot or cold toppings? Side salad anyone?

Listen in as Lisa (unusually) struggles to get a word in

We LOVE a good list at The Enthusiasts... well to be honest, we love a bad list as well, any old list will do...

But listen this week as Neil and Wayne are truly schooled in what Lists really need by GrandListMaster Lisa

Everyone loves a bit of sausage don't they? And what says Happy Valentine's Day more than a sausage-related podcast?

From saveloy and hot dogs via bratwurst to Cumberland Sausage, we'll discuss the porky goodness of sausage. That's right, sausage. Snigger
