The 'Something Different' Podcast - episode 1: 30 October 2025: *Wizards, Wires and Wheelchairs: The Stuntman Tales of David Holmes - Join us for a fun filled episode as Aria chats with David Holmes, the real life stunt wizard from the Harry Potter Movies! David shares behind the scenes stories, how he became a stuntman and details of his life as a wheelchair user following an accident on set. / Get ready for sneak peaks, laughs, amazing advice and of course, some stuntman jokes! [I will admit that I listened to this, and the other episode mentioned later, because I was recording an episode of Pods Like Us with them as guests on the Saturday. I loved this so much. Aria, the host, is so good at getting some great information from the guests. I actually think that as a kid, she is able to get people more comfortable, and there are some fantastic questions that would otherwise likely not be asked. A great show!] 


Sounds Profitable - 20 November 2025: Two Different Kinds of Podcasting, Industry 2026 Predictions, & More - Today in the business of podcasting: the Podscape deadline is fast approaching, a look at Happy Dad seltzer and what it means for podcast branding, is video creating two different types of podcasting, podcasts are a highlight of Defector's annual income report, and what to do when a podcast reaches critical advertising mass.



Santa Confidential - Trailer: 4 November 2025: *Santa Claus goes full detective to uncover the truth behind a string of festive crimes from missing mince pies to full-blown Christmas conspiracies. Told in true-crime style with a dash of tinsel noir, this brand-new comedy podcast invites families to join Santa's top-secret investigations.

It's a refuge for the clumsy and the awkward. / If you have questions about anything - from buying the right shirt to hiding at parties, please send us a voice note via Instagram @illadvisedbybillnighy



The 'Something Different' Podcast - Episode 2:  13 November 2025: *Spins, Slides and Sumo Suits - Kristen's Cool Career on Ice - Episode Two involves chats about all things cold and sparkly with BBC Freeze's and GB Women's Ice Skater Kristen Spours (Reeds) / A fab episode discussing Olympic dreams, skating across the world and a fun tongue twisters game for you to try at home! [Another great episode. The fact that Aria is training as an ice skater means that you can hear that interest in the guest and discussion, which pulls you in as a listener!]

A Passage of Time

  Sunday August 10th 2025 -  I got in from the Saturday night shift at twenty past five, and drifted to sleep a little after six in the morning.  A minute or so after ten in the morning, I woke up for the toilet and looked at my phone. I noticed that I had missed phone calls and messages from my aunties Carol and Ann, as well as a fairly recent message from my younger brother James. They were all asking me to contact them.  I had a feeling that I knew what it was, but I didn’t want to believe it. I messaged my younger brother James, who then rang to tell me that Mum had passed away sometime around 7:30 in the morning.  I messaged someone at work about it, who let a Director know. I misunderstood a message telling me to talk to Wayne in the office on the Monday morning, so got ready for work at the usual time, and showed up at the office at 4:40pm for the five o’clock start, to find that Andy had come in to cover for me, and was told that I was also covered for t...

People point skyward, initially with hope - assuming Superman has arrived to save the day from whatever danger approaches. But their expressions quickly shift to confusion, then horror. / The figure descending from the clouds resembles Superman, but something is terribly wrong. His face is chalky white and cracked like dried mud. His costume is a backward, disheveled version of the iconic suit, the S-shield reversed and distorted. His movements are jerky and unpredictable, like a marionette with tangled strings. / This isn't the Man of Steel - it's his twisted doppelgänger, Bizarro. / "Me am Bizarro! Me here to save day by destroying everything!" he announces in...

Did You Kiss? Part 1 -  At The Guardian newspaper, there's a person who has to find two complete strangers to send on a blind date every week. /  In our next episode, we hear about how things really went from the blind daters themselves. [this was suggested to me by Arielle Nisenblatt of the Earbuds Podcast Collective. It was interesting to hear the story of the Guardian newspaper personal section, and stories of different outcomes from the said personal column.]  Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day - 24 April 2025: ostensible  Sounds Profitable -  23 April 2025: * Podcasting's  Income, Chrome Cancels Pop-Up, & More -  How Big is the Global Podcast Economy? ...
