• Episode 11 - I Lost My Job Weeks Before Christmas
    Dec 4 2025

    Losing my radio job three weeks before Christmas was not on the bingo card, but here we are. In this episode, we talk honestly about the timing, the stress, the house move, and how we’re trying to keep everything together while still, somehow, winging it.

    We also get into the practical stuff, the emotional stuff, and the slightly ridiculous stuff. From packing boxes and dodgy flooring to relationship fears, antidepressants, anxiety, and why the new mixer arrived at the worst possible moment.

    If you’re in the middle of your own life-chaos, pull up a chair. You’ll fit right in.

  • Episode 10 - Anniversary Road Trip to see Five
    Nov 17 2025

    We finally hit double figures, and to celebrate, we took the podcast on the road. Literally. This episode was recorded in the car as we headed up to Aberdeen for our anniversary weekend and to see Five in concert. So you’ll hear the odd rumble, indicator click and “sorry, hang on, I’m driving” moment. The chat is still the same chaos as always, just with seatbelts on.

    We get into everything from parenting and sleep battles to AI arguments, Naked Gun, long hair dreams, emotional landmines, and why our kids are master manipulators when it comes to bedtimes. There’s an Am I The Asshole story in there too, because of course there is.

    Thanks for sticking with us for ten episodes. If you’re new, buckle up. If you’re not, you already know better.

  • Episode 9 - Lisa Gives Chris "The Talk"
    Nov 10 2025

    When you’re a dad of three daughters, there are certain conversations you just can’t avoid… no matter how much you want to.

    In this week’s Winging It, Chris finds himself in over his head as Lisa decides it’s time for “The Talk.” What starts as a harmless chat quickly turns into a crash course in empathy, hormones, and everything they don’t teach you in parenting books.

    Expect plenty of laughs, some mild trauma for Chris, and a surprising amount of heart. Because sometimes, the funniest family moments are the ones that make you squirm a bit first.

    We also chat about growing up, how parents handle awkward topics differently, and why a bit of humour might be the best way to tackle the tough stuff.

    🎧 New episodes every week with real talk, ridiculous moments, and a reminder that none of us really know what we’re doing.

  • Episode 8 - I Threw Away My Childs Artwork…And They Found It
    Nov 4 2025

    This week on Winging It, Chris and Lisa share the story of what happened when a toddler’s artwork accidentally ended up in the bin. It leads to a real and funny chat about parenting guilt, money worries, and the pressure to always look like you’ve got it together.

    They also take on a Secret Santa dilemma, talk honestly about family expectations, and lighten things up with riddles and dad jokes. It’s honest, chaotic, and completely relatable for anyone just trying to make it through family life without losing their mind.

    Listen, laugh, and remember that nobody’s got it figured out we’re all just winging it.

  • Episode 7 - We Crashed the Car… and Learned This About Marriage
    Oct 27 2025

    We didn’t plan to talk about this one but it’s one of those moments you never forget.

    In this episode, we share the full story of our car crash: what happened, how we handled it, and what it taught us about staying calm, laughing through chaos, and learning together as a couple.

    You’ll also hear about ADHD, burnout, stress, and how “real life” doesn’t stop for podcasts, kids, or dogs. It’s raw, it’s funny, and it’s everything Winging It is about figuring it out as we go.

    Oct 12 2025

    This week on Winging It we talk about ADHD, music, and the chaos of figuring yourself out. Chris opens up about how his ADHD medication unlocked his creativity and led to what he calls the best song he’s ever written. Lisa shares her experience of starting antidepressants, why it first made her feel like a failure, and how she’s learning to give herself a break.

    It’s real, funny, emotional, and everything you’d expect from us.

  • Episode 5 – Death Threats, Rejection, and the Kettle in the Fridge
    Oct 6 2025

    Chris and Lisa are back with another very real, very chaotic episode of Winging It. This week, they talk about the dark side of reality TV after a contestant from Married at First Sight received death threats, and how online hate can spiral out of control. Lisa opens up about a rough mental health day, Chris talks about rejection in relationships, and somehow they still end up laughing about the time Lisa tried to put the kettle in the fridge.

    It is honest, funny, emotional, and exactly what Winging It is all about – real life, real talk, and a lot of coffee.

    Sep 30 2025

    Chris and Lisa are back with another very real, very chaotic episode of Winging It. This week we cover everything from late-night noisy neighbours and the 7AM Peppa Pig-fuelled revenge that followed, to honest talk about weight loss surgery, to Tesco tantrums and why bedtime can feel like a warzone.

    We also read a listener email about the nightly battle of getting three kids to sleep, and share our own wins and fails from the trenches. Expect laughter, honesty, a few moans, and even a dog singing Baby Shark.
