I've been unusually occupied with social and cultured events. Cinema and food with friends. Theatre with my lady. Lunch with another friend... Also some listener mail, and Americans quizzing my pub tastes. 

Exciting times for us here. Maybe not for you. But certainly for me. This is the first guest and conversation recorded for The Crack Podcast. Jamie Bissett was on to talk about his recent trip to Corsica, a French Island, where he went for a walking holiday. He talks about (literal) ups and downs, tells of his lessons learnt, and then briefly we mention the health of pets and a Colin Farrell film. I hope you enjoy. Cheers - Lewis 

I used to work at heights, but I was always harnessed in. Today I was up high and I was not harnessed in. I didn't like it. Went to McDonalds yesterday. That was nice. 

Tasty pasta sauce like The Sopranos. Not enough space in a car park. Never easy. 

Well its been over a fortnight. Oops. Was feeling a bit 'bruh, what you doing?' but all good now. Got my watch. Back on track and keeping time. 

Yo. Late... again. I went out for mini golf and got messed up after. I shopped in Marks and Spencers. Also I have a new certificate. Yay. 

Sorry for the delay between episodes. I have been sick. It wasn't fun. 

Been bowling, been having head pain, been winning money. Broke even. Don't take part in looting or riots, guys x 

I'm burning. Not with passion. Sunshine has done this to me. I saw three goats, and had a flashback to some aviary hotel trip. Be good !

Death is inevitable and generally perceived as a bad thing. Burgers, sadly, are not inevitable, and they're pretty good. As long as the cheese doesn't melt too much... but who's going to remember that when they look back ? 

Attended a lovely retirement celebration for a lovely co-worker. Speeches, poems... a buffet. Went to town (not on the food), and had a few drinks. All in all, a lovely time was had. Spent a bit of cash on books online and saw a film trailer that got my adrenaline going. Another week... another episode..!

Seagulls at Aldi's. Soon to be a badge for the blood. A pair of glasses becomes a non-pair. Get in touch and let me know how you're getting on!

It's been a couple of warm ones, guys. Too warm for my liking. Got some sweat on the brow there to wipe off. Saw 'Waitress' the musical, live... in the cinema. Prerecorded. It was good. Did someone mention politics?!

A fire alarm went off at the gym and no one batted an eyelid. A contact lens was absorbed into my eyeball. Election is coming up. And you better be having yourself. Enjoy !

Had a fantastic day fishing. Got a first draft of a different podcast released. And some birds outside thought they'd found a great dinner. Enjoy !

https://www.thecrackpodcast.co.uk/contact Hello. This is the first draft of a new podcast I'm hoping to start. If you do listen to it, please do leave feedback through the link above!    Thank you, Lewis 

A footpack, a dead bird, and reflecting on a multinational singing contest. Another week, another episode. Hope you're behaving yourself. 

The first one didnt meet a standard set by no one but me. So I did another. A clean room for a clean mind - but never clean language. 

Maybe yesterdays episode was a bit too sentimental for you? Maybe not. Who knows. It was for some. Hopefully this will amuse -  a retelling of my journey home from Mexico in January 2023. Enjoy!

A lovely week. Contacted lenses to give a clearer perception of the world, and a fantastic wedding was attended. Also, yes, I have a gherkin jar I've been putting ants in... 

Recording in the spare room presents its difficulties. Be it the clutter or the boiler in the cupboard whining like a spoilt child. Talking about how terrible I am at shopping, Amazons style of adapting books to series, and how I am not Dr Dolittle. 

Plenty to yammer about in this one. A haunted battlefield? A yappy dog? Fallout, Sugar, Ghostbusters? And the first time I've encountered a whole kitchen taking a break at once. All in this episode of The Crack Podcast. 

I made a friend with a stranger at a box junction. Strange. Also danced at a wedding ceilidh, in which I had a lovely time !

A blubbery hazard made for a stinky road near the flat. An ill-fitting takeaway cup lid gave my hoody some funky design. Memories of childhood have me counting my blessings. 

Doorbells with no bells but cameras. Border Force have my post. Bought a Nerf gun too. Bleeding from balloons. 

Seagulls like cowboys in the car park, and a sudden stop on the roundabout. Also a little bit of paranoia about what species may just decide to overthrow us one day. 

Saw a lizard acting unlizardlike. Wondering if frogs have feet or paws. Another week, another episode!

Remembered for how I would ask for my food at an old place. Eerie place to live nearby. And a self inflicted injury. 

Yesterday was a leap year. So happy March. This episode delves into the fascinating subject of phlebotomy. What is believed to have started with using leeches to first extract... yeah, not really. I went for a donation and my vein didn't do too great. Do-nut lie to me about how much a box of twelve may cost. And how heavy do I look?

What upsets me most? Not being able to shower comfortably? Not having broadband? Or the Chinese takeaway being closed? Who knows. Another week - another episode !  

Watched the (adverts) for the SuperBowl. Received a letter in the post... got a patch for my efforts. Why air fry chicken wings but deep fry chicken in batter?

Would have needed one more monkey for Noahs Ark last week. Another week - another episode. Primate on the loose, heavens opened up, and a car needing a clean. 

Getting this episode in just in time to keep up to the goal of one a week. A big birthday was had... as were a few pancakes. And a misplaced credit card. 

Keeping the episodes going. 4/4 so far. Getting closer to February, watching Amazon Prime, 4 on Demand, and a taste of wine appeared. 2024 off to a... not quite roaring start. But it has started. 

Just home to the snow. Going over a recent trip away to Belgium. Managing to stay on track with an episode a week! 3/52. Yay. 

Another episode on track. That's 2 out of 52 so far. Gotta keep that going. A tired ramble about fog. Cars that have subscription features. Censorship in media... and that's about it. www.thecrackpodcast.co.uk for contact and social links. Cheers, guys. 

Happy New Year. We're back. And with all other good intentions lets try to get off to good habits. A more regular podcast uploading schedule. This first episode of 2024 talks about The Lion King, Wicked, and Back to the Future. Stage shows..! Check out the website to find all social links and contact method: thecrackpodcast.co.uk

Been to visit Rooster (the cat), and recently gave blood. The hangover from my worknight out was justified for how fun it had been..! Get in touch [email protected]

The cat has returned home. Welcome back Rooster.  The car doesnt have a service plan. And I went to the theatre tonight. A mobile phone went off. Lawrd have mercy. Excellent show though... especially in the second half when the energy picked up in the audience. 

Hello. So we're back. This is a small little what's going on explanation. Got a theme song. All is well. Hope you're all getting on fine. More to come. Thanks for listening!

Recorded about 18 seconds after I recorded my absence explanation, this is just a few wee stories that (I hope) fit the mood of Halloween. Thanks for listening! Happy Halloween.

Hello. Apologies for how long it's been silent. This is a very brief explanation as to what has been going on.  Thank you 

Hello, Happy Christmas! This is the 2021 Christmas Special episode of The CrackPodcast. It is my first attempt at audio drama. Skip ahead the first 2 minutes to skip the introduction.  It's about an old detective working the Christmas nightshift.  I hope you enjoy, and have a Happy Christmas!

It's been a year since the last Halloween special! (Makes sense... Halloween is usually around this time) TheCrackPodcast has some Halloween related stories for your spooky pleasure. Enjoy!

True Crime special episode. Shamsuddin Mahmood was murdered 27 years ago in the town of Kirkwall on the Scottish island Orkney.

Ben Macdui may be the second highest peak in Scotland... but it has something Ben Nevis doesn't have... an unexplained grey figure that strikes fear into the hearts of walkers and mountain climbers! Is it a ghost? A monster? Is there a simple, reasonable explanation? Have a listen and then get in touch with your thoughts. [email protected]

A true crime story from the Highlands of Scotland. Get in touch [email protected]

Special episode for the spooky season. 4 ghost stories to give you shivers. Enjoy !
