The Looking for a Third Podcast

A local stand-up comedy legend is what you call a comedian that’s been around a while and managed to survive and thrive. This accurately describes our guest Kevin McCarron with more than 30 years under his belt. He’s done it all from one man shows, club comedian and numerous visits to the Edinburgh Fringe. In his chat with the duo he freely and openly talks to our hosts, both of whom have a vested interest in learning as much as they can from his experience. Both of whom are themselves budding stand ups.There’s the origin story, his arrival in the UK in the 70’s and early 80’s and his re-educating himself and becoming a philosophy professor. Also, his experience, and lived experiences with addiction a, subject he’s become quite an authority on, plus a load of jokes too. Kevin also talks about his association with legendary comedy promotor Laughing Horse comedy, which he had a hand in its creation. There’s no hiding the fascination and respect the hosts have for their guest, as they like you get to peak behind the curtain and see the inner workings of a fellow comedian.Even if you don’t know who Kevin McCarron or you’ve never heard of him. Trust us if you like clever smart intelligent comedy, you’ll like this interview. Even if you prefer dick, fart and arse jokes there’s plenty in this episode you’ll like to.https://www.chortle.co.uk/comics/k/2821/kevin_mccarron/reviewhttps://www.facebook.com/kevin.mccarron.334/https://www.instagram.com/kevin.mccarron12/?hl=en

Stephen Dixon In this episode our hosts talk to mild mannered financial adviser Stephen Dixon about his passion for growing chillies. He not only grows, cultivates and nurtures chillies, his passion for chillies goes much deeper than that. He’s also a bit of a Victor von Frankenstein, as he’s also had ago or two at cross pollinating different plants in order to create even hotter chillies. Stephen’s love of all things chilli doesn’t stop there, he also runs a chilli called sauce company called Hot Pods selling his hot sauce blends all over the world. It’s fair to say that chillies have become a bit of an obsession for him over the years. So much so that he also attends chilli festivals up and down the country, as well as running chilli eating competitions. Ironically, he’s a bid of a sadist when it comes to inflicting the hot heat flavours on unsuspecting hot sauces lovers. He will happily real you in, then hit you with a hot sauce that deadens the taste buds on the devils tongue. If you want to know anything and everything about chillies, this episode is going to leave you with a warm burning sensation in your mouth, that’s for sure. Oh, and you’ll also learn how best to put out the fire should you be foolish enough to indulge.  https://www.facebook.com/stephendixon1976https://www.instagram.com/hotpodschilliproducts/?hl=enhttps://www.hotpodschilliproducts.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=JJTPjHfy0mQ

Brighton and Hove Albion football club has spurned at least 8 different podcasts separate to the official podcast run by the club. Joe Sayers is the host of the ‘Albion Obsessed’ a fan lead podcast, for the fans by the fans. We talk about the obsession and fanatical nature of being a football fan, as well as fan dress sense and kit faux pas. We talk about the personal and generational link to the club, his reasons for supporting the club and also just how much he spends on it to pursue and support the club. As a fellow podcaster with more than 2.5 thousand followers, we also talk about the business, the construction and difficulties of podcasting. We discuss his reasoning behind entering such a niche and crowded podcast space, why he thought he could do something different, better and more uniquely than what was already out there, as well as his successes and ambitions for the podcast. We also learn a thing or two from him about podcasting. This is an intriguing episode if you have ever wondered what goes on in a football fans head. What drives them, what makes them take it so personally and what makes them so committed to watching an ever-changing and inter changing number of players perform each week. With no other real connection other than a win.https://www.instagram.com/albionobsessed/https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=albion%20obsessed  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/albion-obsessed/id1585157809https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_dooz2FnnxypRZZMFLCAhwhttps://x.com/AlbionObsessed?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

There’s no polite way to put it, but Laura is nut’s about rollercoasters. She’s on them in her lunch break and would ride them all weekend if she were able to. A season pass holder to the Palace Pier in her adopted hometown of Brighton, it’s fair to say she may have even moved there just to be close to the fun fair at the end of the pier. Either way she’s on first name terms with the operators of the rides, and often request for them to be made to go faster.On here bucket list is a world tour of rides and theme parks across the globe. Although the thing that sparked her fascination and interest, were last century steam powered rides mostly powered by traction engines. She has a date with the Blackpool’s Big One in her future and has already concurred Chessington World of Adventure and past her driving test at Lego Land. However arguably the countries most famous theme park Alton Towers is yet to have Laura cross its threshold, although by the time this episode is aired who knows. A serious fan of fun fair rides and an adrenalin junkie, she explains her fascination, what her favourite rides are, what she likes and get from going on the same rides again and again. She also mentions the ride she hates, which is a little surprising.Tanya and Rodney also have a couple of anecdotes they share about their own thrill-seeking adventures, as well as their own scary ride experiences. As always there are laughs a plenty in this entertaining episode of a subject not too often mentioned in everyday conversation. None the less it’s fascinating and revealing chat about the thrill seeking benefits of scaring the crap out of yourself.https://www.deltapublishing.co.uk/person/laura-broadbent-4128/?page_id=1https://www.prosperityeducation.net/news/meet-the-author-laura-broadbentwww.thelookingforathirdpodcast.com

Annabel Dunston is a swimming nut, and is part fish. As the title suggests she is in the sea - the English channel to be exact - all year round, unlike Rodney who only swims in the summer. Tanya however, doesn't float and has had Green Peace intercept Japanese whaling vessels on her behalf before now. In this opening episode the dingbats talk to Annabel Dunstan. Annabel’s a wild swimmer that got tired of swimming in rivers, mostly because she’d swam in them all. Then did a bunch of lakes and thought, “stuff it I’m off to Brighton to swim in the sea all year round.” And we don’t just mean a paddle for ten minutes and then a drip dry on the pebbles in the sun. This lady is part fish. She swims at the very least three times a week, and a minimum distance of 2.5km a session, weather and water conditions permitting.Annabel talks us through her very personal reasons for getting into swimming in the first place. The myriad of health benefits she believes is gained from it, and the cold-water emersion therapy that happens as a by-product of regularly swimming in the sea every week. We also talk about the do’s and don’ts of swimming, as well as what she thinks about when distance swimming, of which she’s a veteran.It's a great first guest for series two and yet another enlightening episode, for the return of “the best podcast to come out of Brighton and Hove and Woking.” Someone will say it about the show at some point… if we pay them enough. The dynamic dumbo’s are back, just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.https://www.instagram.com/runninghigh1/https://www.iswimbrighton.org.uk/https://www.surfline.com/

A great giggle from the get go, the final episode of series one joins the non-geniuses back to where it all started, as they revisit Gary Grant and his bees. Things are very different in the height of the honey making season. The bees are active, and their numbers have grown. Dressed in fabulous, all in one white numbers for protection, the pair finally get close to these hard working little honey makers. Gary - as always - is on great form and shows Rodney and Tanya around his ever-growing bee estate portfolio. He now has a couple of new hives, and a bee hotel he created from an old wooden table leg. They get up close and personal, as Gary literally reveals a hive of activity. He also talks the intrepid idiots through his honey collection and bees wax making process. We say intrepid, because one of the hosts is a big wuss when it comes to flying black and yellow insects. Apparently, just the mention of ‘Sting’ can make him break out in a sweat.They say “you should never go back,” particularly if you dinned and dashed. But that doesn’t apply here, as we learn even more about these fascinating creatures in the company of this hilarious host and his growing bee empire. They said they’d come back and they did, plus they got to play dress up. The second visit was as good as the first, that’s for sure. The question is, will there ‘bee’ a trilogy? Did you get that? Did you see what I did there?There are several pictures of the visit on the podcasts instagram page, if you'd like to see just how close they got.@ggranted@hon-ey_imhome_uk@britishbeekeepershttps://www.instagram.com/thelookingforathirdpodcast/Support the showThe title music is Tropicalia do Norte by El Equipo Del Norte.

In this episode, our guest has appeared in more than 30 films and television series’, alongside such Hollywood luminaries as Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren. He’s been in numerous commercials ranging from sci-fi, action and adventure to costume dramas and has even made it into the Harry Potter movies! And yet, many of the A listers wouldn't know his name or even remember him. Chris Hemmings is what they call in the business, a Supporting Artist, or to give it its more commonly used title, a film extra. Chris gives us the low down on the SA world within the UK and tell us what it’s like to be on set with big name actors and movie stars. He’s a great storyteller, and will keep you hooked with amusing anecdotes of miss steps and mayhem caused by other 'over enthusiastic' supporting artists. He also talks about his experience starring in a Belgium TV commercial. Oh, and did we mention he’s got a fantastic voice over voice and a moustache that makes him look like Lord Kitchener? No?… Well we just did. TV advert https://vimeo.com/794955812https://player.vimeo.com/video/747067021https://vimeo.com/794955900https://vimeo.com/794955849Support the showThe title music is Tropicalia do Norte by El Equipo Do Norte.
