The Enthusiasts episodes

  • Hair

    We've all got it... Hair that is, and at present (in Lockdown 7003) it's quite difficult to get a professional cut isn't it?  Listen in as Lisa shares how her family's hair is subjected to her creative flair

    Dying, perming, shearing, all covered in depth as 'usual'. Apologies from Wayne to Lisa - it wasn't Margarita Prakatan he meant, turns out it was Carmen Miranda (slight difference)

  • Socks

    Waterproof? Walking? Novelty? What's your favourite sock? Is the sock one of the most under-rated, and often understated, pieces of the discerning Enthusiasts wardrobe?

    In a rare (so far) event, all three of the team talk about socks, but will Lisa's Enthusiasm drain all the bandwidth in South Lakeland....

  • Beards (2)

    So much involved, we had to do two instalments, that and we aren't all allowed in the same room together (it isn't a restraining order thing don't worry)

    Neil and Wayne talk about Beards here, including sea-faring gentlemen, wizards, and is hairlessness the next stage in evolution, or does being hirsute mean we are closer to our primate cousins? 

    Manscaping and grooming ahoy!

  • Jars

    This one is crammed full of flavoursome fillings. We chitter chat shape, style, textures, usage and of course what’s waiting inside!

    We talk emptying techniques and explore when something is really finished, like ‘Yorkshire finished’ 

    We discuss and debate some real marmite subjects here.....like actual real life marmite.

    Prepare yourself as we even touch on - or possibly retch over a chip shop favourite - pickled eggs   .... yum yum!

    Enjoy....share.... and please leave us a review!

  • Beards

    Fashionable, furry and friendly or short, smart and aerodynamic? We comb through the face wear favoured by Hipsters and Geography teachers. 

    From what’s hidden underneath to what’s lurking on top... and there’s even a bit of historical beardy facts too. 

    Home schooling starts here....

  • Stationery (2)

    Neil was well jealous of Lisa talking about Stationery, and he can spell it, so we had to revisit. There's definitely more to explore though....

    A subject too important, too deep and too wide to fold up into a ‘one episode’ envelope.

    This week our Enthusiasts Wayne and Neil flick through the back pages of the topic that keeps on giving. Fountain pens , pencils  erasers, (both stand alone and combined) papers and wait for it...a pencil sharpener machine. We get high tech this week and for good measure,  even throw in typewriters. 

    Immerse yourself in 26 minutes of stationery joy...

  • Tinsel

    Our festive podcast journeys through the glittering world of Tinsel and other sparkly foil based Christmas decorations.

    The magic of Christmas brought to life in a 1, 2 or 3 metre length

    But hold onto to your Santa hats - this weeks enthusiasts Wayne & Lisa don’t seem to agree on this particular subject... so enjoy this seasonal debate and exploration of a festive favourite ( or not?)in the Christmas box.

    And as it’s Christmas, feel free to leave us the gift of a 5 star review on your podcast service or here on our page!)

    Happy Christmas everyone and thanks for all your support and love!

  • Colour

    We love colour, of course we do! This weeks enthusiasts Wayne & Lisa take us on a technicoloured roller coaster, celebrating colour popping in nature, bursting out of paint pots and bobbing up and down in the lake.

    It’s a good ‘en! Let us know what you think, and why not leave us a review?*

    *if it’s nice.

  • Stationery

    Likely to be the first of two (at least) on the subject. Wayne starts ranting about spelling, then we enter Lisa's magical world of stationery. StationEry not StationAry....

  • Mugs

    Does the perfect brew depend on your mug?
    Do you use the same mug for every brew?
    Do you drink tea AND coffee, sometimes with milk, sometimes without?

    This week Wayne talks enthusiastically with Neil about Mugs
