Leave Me Alone

Have you ever tried to watch the Red Arrows without actually buying tickets to an air show? This week on Leave Me Alone, we set out to see the Red Arrows flying back from Ragley Hall and returning to East Midlands Airport. What should have been a simple day quickly turned into a chaotic adventure involving random fields, missed opportunities, aviation enthusiasts, traffic, confusion, and some very...

This podcast is about everyday life, family chaos, awkward social interactions, and the general experience of wondering how everyone else seems so confident at being a person. It’s not inspirational, not motivational, and definitely not about morning routines or “becoming your best self.” It’s stories from normal life that somehow turn into chaos neighbours, family situations, random encounters, a...

This week I accidentally left my wife and toddler trapped in the garden… thanks to a yoyo, a locked door, and a neighbour aggressively jet washing at the worst possible time. What followed was a full-blown domestic hostage-style situation… while I sat inside in complete peace, completely unaware, drinking tea like nothing was happening. Also… I think my three-year-old has started training for the...

A chaotic life update episode covering two very different kinds of survival: a long-awaited hospital appointment through the lens of anxiety, and a weekend of parenting chaos at Badminton Horse Trials involving expensive hot dogs, lost pushchair regrets, and accidental public collisions.

We talk toddler behaviour, “tornado threes,” park disasters, and why leaving the house is alwa...

Everything this week has been loud. Not just sound… life. Constantly, unnecessarily, aggressively loud. In this episode of Leave Me Alone: The Antisocial Podcast , I talk through a week that completely broke my ability to function in peace from Rugby Tots chaos and dramatic toddler injuries that somehow become full emotional story arcs… to Argos delivery drivers who move like silent ninjas… to a f...

This week’s episode is… completely pointless. And that’s exactly the point. No structure, no big topic—just pure chaos, random thoughts, and the weird little moments that make up everyday life. Because let’s be honest… life doesn’t always make sense, so why should this episode? BUT… this one’s also a bit of a glow-up. I’ve been working on the podcast behind the scenes, and this episode is the firs...

This week on Leave Me Alone , I’m facing a crisis of epic proportions: my recycling bin has been stolen again. Who’s behind this brazen bin heist, and why me? Meanwhile, life at home is equally chaotic thanks to my toddler, who treats every snack and snack-related decision like a full-blown trial. From empty bins disappearing into the night to tiny humans living their truth in tantrum form, we exp...

Three months ago I downloaded TikTok to promote this podcast. This seemed like a reasonable decision at the time. What followed was an unexpected behavioural study in attention, identity, comparison, and the quiet pressure to become a more consumable version of yourself. In this episode I talk about social media addiction that doesn’t feel like enjoyment, the strange psychology of scrolling, why s...

For ten years, I lived in the noise. Late nights. Hospitality. After-shift drinks. Always “on.” It looked fun from the outside. And sometimes it was. But somewhere along the way, drinking stopped being social and started being survival. The chaos became normal. The burnout became invisible. Then everything changed. In this episode, I’m sharing how I went from nightlife and constant stimulation to...

Valentine’s Day is over… the roses are dead, the balloons are deflating, and the real relationships have returned to arguing about bins. In this episode of Leave Me Alone , I’m unpacking the full Valentine’s aftermath including the moment my wife bought us matching Valentine’s tops from Temu… and nearly tested the strength of our marriage. We’re talking: • The reality of discount romance • Fast-fa...

In this episode, I’m talking all about overthinking before things have even happened from health anxiety and long-awaited hospital appointments to hormone crashes and the very real urge to panic clean your entire house at 10pm. If you’ve ever spiralled over an upcoming appointment, mentally attended it 47 times before the actual day, or convinced yourself hoovering aggressively will fix your life...

I left the house. That was the first mistake. This week, what was meant to be a wholesome family walk turned into a muddy survival challenge involving aggressive rain, a feral toddler, and the realisation that “just a little loop” is a lie. Add rugby tots, social anxiety, being called “sir” by a stranger, and the crushing knowledge that parents do not get Sundays — and you’ve got Episode 6. We’re...

Nothing big happened this week. Which somehow made it worse. In Season 2, Episode 3 of Leave Me Alone: The Antisocial Podcast , I walk through a painfully normal week full of small, relentless annoyances — the kind that don’t ruin your life, just your mood.
