  • Two Voices Radio - Visit to Scotland EP 204
    This time we discuss our recent trip to Scotland. It's a fabulous country and only an hour away from Luton Airport. We stay in Glasgow, jaunt over to the coast at Largs. Plus we take the train to Stirling and Edinburgh.

    You tell us how you enjoy hearing about places to visit in the UK so we hope this will inspire your next tripette.

  • Communications, moving trains, recycling, weather, Wilkos, awful sandwiches, Neighbours. EP 203
    This time… Andy has a moan about unnecessary communications from companies… Nick cannot walk through a moving train. Why are the recycling systems so different across the country?

    Two further questions… why are the British never prepared for the weather and why our trains are so expensive? As predicted Wilkos has finally gone bust. Andy reminds us of the bargain food mixer he bought from there. We talk fitness, walking and poor supermarket sandwiches when you do decide to go out for the day. That leads us onto poor bread!

    Finally… Andy tells us how Neighbours has returned to TV. He tells us what he thinks of it. It’s all here… get in touch via the website: twovoices.co.uk

  • Brighton, Fire, Dawlish, Wilko, Greggs, Temu, Project Bakeover EP202
    We’re back after a summer break. We went to Brighton on the weekend of the big hotel fire (we had nothing to do with it!). We talk about Brighton’s faded grandeur but we can recommend a decent fish and chip shop.

    Andy talks about Dawlish… another fine place to visit and how the railway runs right along the seafront but advises you don’t drive to Devon. We talk about our old friend the train day ranger.

    In retail roundup Wilko a major 400 store chain in the UK looks like it’s going bust. Andy tells us Greggs bakeries are going to go into Sainsburys Supermarkets. We think that’s a bit tacky!

    We are probably contributing to the demise of the High Street as we have started shopping on Temu… and find it surprisingly good.

    Finally… we talk about a series we have found based in Canada called Project Bakeover. Series 1 was great but series 2 has some rather strange quirks. Have you seen it? Get in touch: [email protected]

  • Heritage brands, Biggins, Ice-creams, E-numbers, weather, weed killer! EP 201

    This time… we are looking at heritage brands. Why are old brands popular again? Nick is drinking Slush Puppie fizzie and it’s delicious (and cheap). Do you remember from the 70s orange “juice” in a packet? Andy remembers his mum throwing away things with E-numbers in as Plymouth Sound Radio told her to!

    With a heritage theme we talk about actors from our childhood coming back including Christopher Biggins with a podcast interviewing his friends.

    We look at the hefty price of ice-creams from ice-cream vans and discuss buying an ice-cream maker…. then ask why is the weather in the UK tropical? We have four seasons of weather in one day. It didn’t used to be like this! Plus… Andy has weed-killer woes.

    Finally… we ask if we are in the wrong job… should we become the seagull scarer of Whitby? that’s where the money is.

  • Two Voices Radio Podcast. Our 200th EPISODE!
    We've reached Episode 200! We talk about our first ever episode that came from our Radio LaB 97.1FM radio show. We look at the Eurovision Song Contest… why so much fuss this year? TV licence fees… We find that it's not just the UK that has one. Who pays for all these subscription channels? Andy tries to find a way to learn foreign languages via TV channels. Other countries are much better at languages than the British. Why is that? Plus...Nick unusually does some binge watching of Welsh TV drama.… Our recommended watch is: Banjo Beale - Designing the Hebrides. Thank you for supporting us for 200 episodes.

    This time... we discuss using webcams and choosing backgrounds. Andy is suffering but bored at being home watching daytime TV. Loose Woman and Carol McGiffin. Heir Hunters... The only programme with no reveal. We talk about the drama "Nolly" based on Crossroads actress Noele Gordon that leads us on to talk about the BBC in Birmingham and their big plans. Plus... the drive thru bakery and the whole drive thru concept. John Lewis word salad. Sports Direct is using face scanning software. Messing around with hot cross buns... and wash it down with an olive oil coffee blah!

  • Weak paper bags, tills, yellow circle, Strongest coffee. Psychology of buying. Retail Roundup. EP 197
    Andy has a rant about a paper bag. We discuss the Lidl vs Tesco fight over a yellow circle. More deli counters are closing and Paperchase is going. We discuss the Greggs Bakery Outlets and find out which retailer provides the strongest coffee on the High Street. We remember buying ground coffee in the 80s. Finally… Nick and Andy have an interesting big discussion about the psychology of buying and how our perception of value varies depending upon where you are and what you’re buying!
