Shed Sessions

I'm thrilled to say that Warren is back for another season. In this very special episode, our host leaves a message for his Auntie Shanni and shares his ideas about season 7. There is also a lovely chat about Nick Cave's brand new album. I needed this, thank you Warren. 

Warren and Roger create a magical musical menagerie in the season finale. Roger weaves a fascinating story about a collection of 80s songs accompanied by the sounds of a keyboard, bass guitar and song. There are musical scores aplenty as the pair relax into an evening reminiscing about listening to Kim Wilde, Queen, Hazel O'Connor, Blondie and Ultravox. It's atmospheric and natural. I wish I could...

Warren never thought it could even be possible to talk about what is probably the best album ever made. This is where Matt comes to the rescue. With his love for Nirvana (as strong, if not stronger than Warren's) the pair do what no one has ever done before: they share memories of their grunge days guided by the band that changed their lives forever. They didn't even realise, until they met in the...

This is such an uplifting episode. Warren and Andrew soar above the clouds as Andrew shares his love for this collection of U2 songs from 1980 to 1990. We learn about the creative force that is the British Isles. We discover the geography and politics of a band that has gone bigger than big. I laughed until I cried. Thank you for listening.

This is the most open and honest episode yet. Marlon shares his personal journey and how it is entangled with the lyrics in this selection of Everclear's finest tracks. Warren guides the conversation into unchartered space. There's a song by Elton John and a duet of Tears in Heaven. Thank you for listening.

Surely it can't get any better than this?!Wow, what a fantastic episode. Emily and Warren are on it from start to finish. There are musical awakenings, sing alongs and a bunch of lafs. You’re going to love spending an hour or so in the shed with these two. There’s also a brief stint in the garden as Warren tries singing upside down! Thank you for listening.

Warren shares his love for Dinosaur Jr. and where it all began in this very special mid season episode. There's a brand new album release and a bundle of Dinosaur Jr bliss including a skateboard deck, t-shirt, water bottle and more. Warren shares the magic of a physical album with us and at the same time talks candidly about his feelings. He's low at one point but fortunately we join him as he tak...

Warren and Nick chat about Talking Heads' 1985 album Little Creatures. Hear how this album started Nick off on his musical journey of discovery. I love this episode and how it welcomed me in, even though I never knew much at all about Talking Heads (yeah, I know right!?). Join me and languish in the enthusiastic and relaxing vibes of another fantastic WIYS episode. Thank you for listening.

Oxford friends, Warren and Chris, chat about an album made by an Oxford band from a shed in Oxford. The magic trilogy! Yes, it’s Radiohead’s The Bends! Thank you for listening.

This is it! The first full episode of season 6. Warren is back from his break stronger than before. As always, I am struggling with the words that will do this beautiful pairing of Roger and Warren justice. What I can say is, I know your’e going to love it. They talk (and sing!) about Bob Dylan’s 1985 Empire Burlesque album. The discussion is delightful. It’s for everyone even if you are not a Dyl...

Warren is back for season 6 with his head full of ideas. Randomness, positivity, reflection, all delivered in the most natural and relaxed way. There is no other podcast like it. My face covering is on and my ears are out, I’m off to the Tesco Express for a some popcorn kernels and coconut oil to make my favourite treat for this teaser. I’ll then have some in the cupboard for all the podcast night...

Welcome to the season finale of the sensational What's in Your Shed? podcast. Warren treats himself and his listeners to another bizarre episode. It's amazing how doing a task can stimulate discussion that flows in every direction. The overall sensation is bliss. Warren makes a favourite South African delicacy known as biltong. He cycles to the butcher shop and prepares the strips of meat in his k...

Join Warren on his evening walk. A fox, illuminated by a street lamp, crosses his path. Warren contemplates maths, the stars, Carl Sagan, the binary code, badgers, cats and the galaxy. Another stellar episode where the conversation is enlightened by the full moon and the rhythm of walking. Thank you for listening.

Welcome to what was going to be the final episode of this season. Yes, I know it's a sad day when a season almost ends but Warren has created another episode which will leave you feeling lighter and freer. In it is a snap shot of his day as he prepares a very special Spaghetti Bolognese. Join Warren for his morning shave, shower and trip to the local butchers via the Saturday street market. As he...

Hello, and welcome to the bravest, boldest, bassiest episode ever. Warren invites you into his shed for his bass guitar practice. He plays, sings and laughs and once again takes us away for a while. Thank you for listening.

Warren sets up a tent in his back garden, sits by the chiminea and settles in for the night. It's a beautifully natural story that unfolds as the logs burn orange and red in the fire and the smoke drifts up into the freezing air. Warren's story telling is relaxing, meditative and brave. He dares to go where most could never imagine was ever an option. Yet our host does this with creativity and gra...

Warren and Jo paint pictures together and share their lovely evening with us for this episode that is full of the joys of creating. There’s relaxed conversation, joking, music and exploration. Hear the brush strokes against the canvas and escape again into another beautiful moment in time. They say a picture paints a thousand words, well painting the picture does too! Thank you for listening.

Join Warren for his workout session. He starts out with a warm up in the shed, then has a go on the chin up bar outside. As usual the stories flow and Warren finds himself  (and us) taken far away by the activity he is doing. This podcast swings doors open and takes us to places no one ever thought could even be possible.  Have a good workout. Thank you for listening.

Warren cleans, dusts and vacuums his sanctuary and shares stories as the cobwebs fall from the ceiling. Warren uses the activity to open the doors into another place, a place where you will find relaxation and comfort. Another beautiful episode. Thank you for listening.

I'm thrilled that each week I get to relax into another episode as Warren talks through another task. This time he's putting up a shelf in Ralf's room. He gets sidetracked with a shower fixing, then an impromptu sing song in the bathroom. This is the best podcast I have ever heard and it keeps getting better. There is literally nothing out there like this. Thank you for listening.

This is fantastic. More relaxing vibes as Warren talks us through cleaning his new fish tank for the first time. There's always more to it though as the chat meanders on into unexpected terrain. Warren discovers that the activity is a truly dynamic portal for storytelling. Sit back and enjoy another mind massaging, soothing episode, deep into an underwater world in Warren's shed. Thank you for lis...

Now this is special! Warren has come back after a break with a brand new episode. This is your chance to join him as he prepares his shed for a fabled shed night. You will genuinely feel like you are in there with him as he sets up the sleeper couch and pioneers through a technical computer and projector set up for a sleep over and film. It's an escape like no other. I enjoyed a relaxing shed nigh...

What a perfect way to end a season that is brave, generous, unpredictable and simply brilliant. I love this episode and show so much. Warren has developed his craft and his guests are sharing more and feeling at ease as they find themselves with Warren on a road trip riding in who knows what, to who knows where. All of this radiating from a shed treasure, from another time and place; handled with...

Gather round people and allow yourself to slip away into this feast of an episode. Rog and Warren share a drink and a heartwarming tale of a common love, Bob Dylan's 1978 Street Legal Album. Wetted hawthorn branches hold on to crystal clear water droplets like Christmas tree decorations. Every now and then a glassy droplet falls and explodes onto the leaf litter on the ground. The icy fog moves in...

It felt amazing listening to Warren and Salvador having a conversation about a dysfunctional family that has touched all of our lives. Yep, the pair are truly unleashed and free together. There’s a meeting with Michael Stipe, stage diving at a Green Day concert, prank calls, tears for Tom Petty and an unexpected therapy session. Tune in to unbelievable chat conjured up from Warren’s array of Simps...
