The Curiosity Project

We have spoken about the role that social media companies have in shaping children, influencing the interactions the people have with one another and their relationships with products and services. However with the release of The Social Dilemma the attention of data collection and targeted marketing has now been thrusted back in to the limelight.  Join us as we discuss Facebooks ability to se...

 A true cinematic experience that you can't miss! 

We have always been huge propogators of physical therapy and really making sure that your bones and muscle is positioned in the correct fashion. Without that, unfortunately any training or sports will end up having a negative affect on your long term health. Of course, seeing a professional would be the ideal course of action for physical therapy but now there are numerous ways to treat yourself.&...

Unfortunately, regardless of the rise in popularity of yoga it seems as though (particularly amongst my fellow men) that yoga is severely misunderstood. Since we are both regular practitioners of yoga we wanted to discuss our experiences, what yoga means to us and what purpose it serves in our lives.  Pull a shot and join us for a chat!  If you guys are interested in any fitness equipmen...

CBD is not something that either of us have ever been exposed to as neither of us have ever been marijuana smokers. However, after a friend of mine exposed me to the wonders that CBD has performed for him I became curious. It was not until Access CBD reached out to us for a collaboration where we decided to take a deep dive in to this industry and what we found was pleasantly surprising.  In...

We have received many messages asking why we haven't been posting any new episodes, well unfortunately I tested positive for Covid-19 and have been self isolating.  We decided to record this episode where I explain the symptoms and feelings I experienced during this ordeal. We implore you to accept the fact that this is far more then a 'bad flu'. This is a virus that can make you extremely un...

As we have discussed in our previous episodes we are huge believers in unleashing your creativity and always exploring what helps you do that, whether its blogging, building, painting, videography or photography, we encourage you to try it all! However in this episode we talk about a hobby we have been practicing for several years and that is photography.  We talk about the beauty of photogra...

As avid home cooks and self proclaimed foodies we found ourselves discussing the ethics or certain farmed produce and naturally Foie Gras came up! Due to the prohibitive price point of Foie Gras it seems that this mysterious food has managed to travel under many peoples radar, however, it is not so much the food itself that we shall be discussing but the farming techniques. There is great debate o...

As podcast hosts we value great quality conversation, however, what does great conversation mean? The "what is your favourite" question seems to be a hallmark of conversation and relationship building. In fact I would use the question myself to strike points of interest and further a conversation but why do we use that question so profusely? Is there a secret meaning behind that question? Are we a...

On a more serious note, time travel has always been something that fascinates me, in fact, when I was 15 the first speech I made was on stellar mathematics! However today we are playing doctor who, if we had a time machine where would we travel to and why?  We would love to know what you guys would do so feel free to let us know!  Pull a shot and join us for a chat! 

As you are well aware we are both practicing minimalist, we only keep things in our life if they suit a certain criteria and conclusively provide happiness and value to our lives. Of course this applies to everything, however, clothing is easily something many can get carried away with, owning clothes that still have the tags on months later is a common occurrence!  In this episode we discuss...

Movies have been a big part of our episodes from day 1. Both being movie buffs means that we tend to see many movies together, one in particular seemed to stand out to us and we of course we reserved discussion until we got to the studio!  We discuss the socio-economic ideas that are explored in this movie and tackle the question whether or not the ideas were portrayed effectively and enterta...

Constructing a great CV is easier said then done, some spend a lifetime without perfecting the nuances of what makes a CV stand out. As the job environment changes like never before and the arena becomes more competitive there has never been a better time to jazz up your CV. Having been on both sides of creating and reviewing CV's we have decided to create the second part to our 'interview' episod...

Welcome to our new format of episodes! Point of discussion or P.O.D for short, where we discuss interesting topics and matters in around 15 minutes.  Diets have always been a rather divisive topic, are they unhealthy? Should we all eat a 'balanced diet'? Having both been in competitive sports we both believe that diets are completely dependent on your lifestyle. Join us as we discuss what die...

Exploration and curiosity go hand in hand. The recent success of the Space X ISS mission has of course triggered new interest, people are no talking once again about what is beyond the stars, whether we can live on mars and if one they 'they' can also visit other planets. However, a continuous stigma that has been attached to space campaigns is "is it worth it?" Why should we continue to fund spac...

I don't believe this episode needs much of a description. With the recent events following George Floyd's murder the world has now started to recognise the overt and covert discrimination of people of colour. This started off in the US but the message has now reverberated across the world causing action and conversations to happen around this subject.  As two people of colour and from 2 diffe...

The heat in the UK seems to have finally gotten us, far too hot and bothered to actually be satirical about something we decided to put each others survival instincts to the test and grill each other on how we would fare in a cast away situation. What would we do? What would our priorities be? Since the entire pretence of this episode was primarily to poke fun at each other we want you to to think...

From the success of the previous mineral water episode we were requested to explore a particular water we mentioned called Svalbardi, this is a glacial water that retails for £100! In this episode we give our feedback and opinions of that particular water and explore whether or not this luxury water is actually worth it. We also delve in to other luxury waters that go up to £100,000 a bottle, this...

Music has always been something important for both of us and to have a great HIFI system thoroughly improves the entire experience. But where do you start? The speakers? The amp? The cables? The source? Where on earth do you start? There seems to be lots of opinions on the internet about how to start off building your HIFI but we are going to do our best to simply that process for you! We will be...

As hard as we try to avoid political discussion, every now and again there comes an event that is even too juicy for us to resist. The matter of Dominic Cummings is indeed a strange one. The master mind behind Brexit and the conservative election campaign clearly breaking lockdown rules and getting away with it.  Apologies for being late to this one, it was scheduled to be uploaded last Wedne...

Welcome to The Curiosity Project!  We are both very excited to announce to both our current listeners and future listeners that we are no longer Coffee and Conversations. With our amazing growth - all thanks to you guys - we have now rebranded to The Curiosity Project with we find to be far more befitting and encompassing of our episodes! 

Black lives matter, say no to racism.  https://www.naacp.org/campaigns/we-are-done-dying/

The word procrastinator tends to immediately conjure up prejudices of negativity. This is not your fault but yet something that has been ingrained in your brain since childhood. "Focus! concentrate! Stop slacking!" these are common phrases that people who procrastinate would encounter on a daily basis, so of course the entire idea behind procrastination seems like a terrible idea, but is it? We be...

As we have seen the government relax the lockdown rules we found it hilarious that they seem to be providing very literally instructions and specificity as to how business and people need to operate their day to day lives. Are we expected to set the guidelines ourselves and play the whole situation by ear? Of course in classic mind espresso fashion we decided the best way to tackle this is to poke...

Music and audio has always been a big part of our lives and as self proclaimed 'music first audiophiles' we felt compelled to do a series on HiFi, starting off with why we use vinyl and why it is fantastic.  Vinyl records on the surface seem like too much hassle for what its worth and on paper, that is true. However owning, collecting and listening to a vinyl can't be defined by a list or dat...
