  • The Toaster Story
    Aug 20 2025

    What if the most complicated machine on earth came with no manual?


    In this episode, Andy takes a detour through a one-star review, a shiny new toaster, and the chaos of becoming a dad - only to land on a much bigger question… who actually taught you how to think?


    It’s a wild ride from hospital wards to hot bread, but the point is simple. Whilst our education is crammed full of maths, French, and media studies, nobody ever sits us down and explains thinking itself. Most of what’s in your head? Hand-me-downs from parents, teachers, and generations past.


    Tune in for toast, tiny toes, and a mental software upgrade that might just rewire how you see yourself - and the world around you.

  • A Brainy SOS
    Aug 13 2025

    What if your brain could send you a desperate late-night email?


    This episode is short, sharp, and straight from the grey matter itself - literally. Andy reads a cheeky, slightly gross, and surprisingly heartfelt letter from “your brain” to “your body,” pleading for a better night’s sleep.


    You’ll learn why slow-wave snoozing is basically brain housekeeping, why screen time is the arch-nemesis of cranial cleanliness, and how skipping rest leaves you clogged up with… well, “brain poop.”


    It’s a playful reminder that beauty sleep isn’t just a saying - it’s a nightly detox for your mind, mood, and health. Switch off, sleep in, and let your head do the washing up.

  • Be Inspired
    Aug 6 2025

    What if rocking the boat was the most responsible thing you could do?


    This week, Andy wades into the murky waters of leadership clichés - everything from “change starts at the top” to “a leader’s job is to inspire their team” - and gives them a good shake. Spoiler alert… not all boats need steadying… some need sinking.


    Along the way, you’ll meet mood hoovers (who might secretly be your best problem-solvers), psychedelic sheep, and a surprising case for why you should stop trying to inspire everyone else and focus on staying inspired yourself.


    It’s leadership advice without the jargon, a little rebellion without the chaos, and a gentle nudge that change doesn’t have to wait for permission - it can start with you, today.
