This rock can be quite hard to spot in the wild, and the only real way to know you’re holding one i...

28. Tristan | Bailey's Bespoke 20.03.2023

One hundred British pence.  The common pound coin. A quid. There’s not much you can do or buy for a quid now. You could rent a shopping trolley for a bit, pay for an hour's parking, or maybe get a cuppa somewhere. But do you think you could build a brand, a business, and a new lifestyle for the equivalent cost of four Freddos? The answer to this question, surprisingly is yes, but you’ll have...

24. Tom | Boyd's of Bedford 20.02.2023

Listener, I have been going to evening school to learn creative writing and poetry. Whilst I have your attention I would like to take this opportunity to share my progress via the medium of a poem wot I have wroted.

22. Justin | Lowlife League 06.02.2023

DISCLAIMER: The following episode information wasn’t written by Pav. In an effort to keep relevant, we have decided to hand over the reins to ChatGPT (the Artificial Intelligence engine). Let us know what you think, and if you can even tell it was written by a computer / machine. Podcasts are a wonderful way to learn and relax, and can be seen as multitasking by listening to one whilst doing somet...

21. Lewis | LA Customs 30.01.2023

Hi listener, it’s Pav here. I need to give you a heads up on the upcoming episode blurb you’re about to read. My reason for this fourth-wall break is because our guest this week has a brand which focuses on football, a subject on which I have little to no knowledge of. I have therefore had to do some research about football in order to not sound like a buffoon. I would appreciate it if you could j...
