So here it is, three and a half years in the making and we've finally reached 50 episodes. So on that note, I figure it's the perfect time to wave goodbye. This is the final episode of Ramble On and it's a two-parter rolled into one episode. Here I say goodbye to England and hello to my new life in America.

Ramble On

Ramble On - Episode 50: The End / The Beginning

In the hectic buildup to my departure for America, I embark on the great marketplace hustle, selling a catalogue of items like nobodies business. Spinning bikes, games consoles, dumbells out the back of a car, you name it I'm selling it (apparently). But it's not all business, there's also plenty of fun to be had as I take my mum into Glasgow city centre for a day of cats, coffee, art and Christmas markets.

Ramble On - Episode 49: Everything Must Go

In the spirit of challenging myself, I recently decided to try my hand at stand up comedy. But rather than ease myself into this new venture, I opted for a baptism by fire. This episode chronicles my preparation for and entry into the King Gong competition at The Comedy Store in Manchester.

Ramble On - Episode 48: Stand Up Comedy

In my second trip to London, I get an early start to battle the elements and navigate the underground in an effort to reach the US embassy for my visa interview.

Ramble On - Episode 47: London Calling Pt II

The first half of a two-parter sees me head down to London town in order to complete a medical examination. Along the way, I visit a musical monument of epic proportions, contemplate bicycles, meet a guy making a music video and ramble on through the streets of Marylebone. 

Ramble On - Episode 46: London Calling Pt I

We're wrapping up warm and heading outside to sample Penrith's annual Winter Droving festival. A mish-mash of activities, sights, sounds, smells and experiences. In ye old-timey town there be fancy dress competitions for dogs, trolls playing Nordic folk rock, brass bands, shabby chic cafes and so much more.

Ramble On - Episode 45: Winter Is Coming

It's that time of year once more when ghouls and goblins walk the earth in search of terror. To celebrate Halloween I head to a museum at night to engage in Fright Night, an interactive escape room, crystal maze type thing. Complete with puzzles and amateur dramatics galore. 

Ramble On - Episode 44: Fright Night

E-commerce debacles, bent arms, oversized purchases and numerous international days are present in this particular mixed bag.

Ramble On - Episode 43: Botched Arm and Big Gloves

In this episode, I'm talking about the balance of now and later, the importance of looking after your teefies and the power that emanates from random acts of kindness. 

Ramble On - Episode 42: Random Acts of Kindness

Three years on from the implosion of my American adventure I take a look or rather listen to the final episode that followed my travels. I re-examine the good, the bad and the emotional ugly that poured out into a KFC car park one Summer's night in San Francisco.

Ramble On - Episode 41: Meta SanFran Theatre 3000

For this milestone episode we're live streaming a game of 20 questions using (what should be) some fascinating, introspective Q's from Kalina Silverman's social experiment turned card game #BigTalk

Ramble On - Episode 40: Big Talk

Amidst a recent heatwave, Birdy came to visit and the following is a seasonal sit down we had, in which we talk about everything from animated Penguins to Ancestry.

Episode 39 - Birdy's Summer Vacation

In our second trip to Huddersfield, I return to the town for the first time in almost ten years. Surprise finds, familiar sights and a whole lotta reminiscing awaits.

Ramble On - Episode 38: Huddersfield (Part II)

A retrospective look at a formative time in my life. First love, real friendships, self-imposed destruction, failed education and cringe-worthy displays of emotion. Four years of significance are compacted into this, the first of two trips to Huddersfield.

Ramble On - Episode 37: Huddersfield (Part I)

Imagine a world in which distance running, space cats, petty vengeance and moments of honest reflection combine in a somewhat scattered fashion.

Ramble On - Episode 36: The Pizza and Piano Ballad

Ramble On is a podcast of nonsensical proportions, one mans journey of uncertainty and a mass collection of ideas, thoughts and experiences sewn together.
