The Looking for a Third Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

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.

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.

 Jim Higham is a runner who came to running relatively late after spending time working abroad in Africa. By his own admission he's become a little addicted to it. He gets restless if he can’t get a tiny run in of at least 10k a day. Now, to normal people in a city, it's about a 20 minute car ride or a 30 minute bus journey, and around 6.2 miles too long a walk. He normally clocks up over 40 miles a week, gets through three pairs of running shoes a year, and an awful lot of vaseline… Stop! It’s for his nipples... Stop! That sounds way worse.  He wrestles with his addiction all whilst maintaining a full-time job and family life. But here’s the irony. Impressive as his stats are, he’s not even the best runner in the family. His wife regularly competes and wins regional distance races, and I’m sure - to Jim’s annoyance - wins just a little too regularly. In this revealing episode we discover his passion for rhinos, distance running and his most epic experience yet: running across Kenya. Oh, and we didn’t even mention, he’s not a bad photographer either.

 Edi Mandala is an amazing self-taught, ever evolving artist, with a remarkable back catalogue of mosaic art works and commissions. His home is adorned with some painstakingly intricate mosaic artwork that really deserve their own retrospective show at some point in the future. However, like all true artists, one medium isn’t enough, and he’s now moved on to create a mash up of spoken word poetry, artwork and social commentary, alongside his current multimedia project 99 Bigots, of which more in a moment. Edi is also working on a children’s book based on an old piece of driftwood he found washed up on a beach. He juggles all this whilst holding down a job with Brighton Buses as a driver. Oh, and he’s also given away all of his trousers and has become an avid kilt wearer.

99 Bigots is online activism, and is a mixed media project encompassing audio, artwork, poetry and literature. The goal is to take on the language of hate speech, bigotry, racism and discrimination; satirising the words most commonly used and the view points most often taken when people choose to discriminate. Edi Jay Mandala calls himself an ARTIVIST, an artist activist challenging both sides of the divide to come together somewhere in the middle.

The dynamic dunces are back to talk to the enlightening Miles Borman, a self-styled mens health fitness and wellbeing guru. An advocate of fasting he regularly goes without food for 24 and 48 hours. He talks us through the how, when, why and where of fasting. Plus his personal philosophy, approach and shed's light on the numerous benefits of going without food for set periods. Miles also talks about what it was like to fast for 7 days on a remote hill side in Portugal, his longest fast to date.

Always entertaining the conversation is engaging and illuminating with an individual who has unique insight into a subject they're passionate about. The idiots are their usual convivial selves, asking all the right questions between bouts of silliness, and never straying too far off topic.

In the very first episode of The Looking For A Third Podcast, the Mensa rejects talk to Gary Grant a long suffering friend of Tanya's about his passion for bee keeping. Gary talks about the how, when, where and why he got into bee keeping, but goes on to talk about the fascinating behaviours, the societal structure and the greater wider world of bee keeping. However, he is unable to do this without several puns, and despite Rodney's best efforts to avoid them, once Tanya gets going he's fighting a loosing battle. "Bee" prepared (see I just did it) to groan a bit once the two get going in the open episode of of series 1.

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.

Seasoned DJ and turn table aficionado Dumani Ncube, or Dustee Du as he’s know on the decks, has been flipping vinyl and seamlessly blending tracks together for over 25 years. One of the OG’s (old git's) of Brighton soul, funk, R&B and rare grove, he heads up the DJ collective Soul Casserole. They are responsible for some of the best R&B nights out available in the south east of the UK. Having partnered with the likes of Craig Charles and Norman Jay, two of the Godfathers and the purveyors of funk, soul and rare groove music.

Dustee talks about how he got into being a DJ, working alongside some of his idols, how he got his DJ name and even dub’s the podcast pair with their DJ names. He also talks about the obsession of collecting vinyl, the hours spent flicking through record shops, in the hope of finding a rare recording. Also, he highlights the change in technology, and the hours spent mastering and mixing, the stuff no one sees but is integral to being a great DJ. If you like soul funk and R&B music this is a revealing insight into the obsessive nature of the DJ’s who love it even more than you do.

As always with this pair of plums, it’s a fascinating and enlightening conversation with lashings of silliness and laughs a plenty.

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.
