(Dancia  - Board Games)   In this episode, I had the honour of having Dancia as my guest. They shared with me their interest in board games as their hobby.   Definition: Board games are tabletop games that typically use pieces. These pieces are moved or placed on a pre-marked board (playing surface) and often include elements of table, card, role-playing, and miniatures games as well. Many board games feature a competition between two or more players. To show a few examples: in checkers (British English name 'draughts'), a player wins by capturing all opposing pieces, while Eurogames often end with a calculation of final scores. Pandemic is a cooperative game where players all win or lose as a team, and peg solitaire is a puzzle for one person.Wikipedia contributors. (2024, May 14). Board game.

(Connor - Oil Painting)   In this episode, I had the honour of having Connor as my guest. He shared with me his interest in oil painting as his hobby.   Definition: Oil painting is a painting method involving the procedure of painting with pigments with a medium of drying oil as the binder. It has been the most common technique for artistic painting on canvas, wood panel or copper for several centuries, spreading from Europe to the rest of the world. The advantages of oil for painting images include "greater flexibility, richer and denser colour, the use of layers, and a wider range from light to dark". But the process is slower, especially when one layer of paint needs to be allowed to dry before another is applied. Wikipedia contributors. (2024, February 13). Oil painting.

(Javier - Poetry)   In this episode, I had the honour to have Javier as my guest. He shared with me his interest in poetry as his hobby.   Definition: Poetry (derived from the Greek poiesis, "making"), also called verse, is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language − such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre − to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, a prosaic ostensible meaning. A poem is a literary composition, written by a poet, using this principle.Wikipedia contributors. (2023, June 6). Poetry. In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.

Felix has done geocaching in many different countries around the world and enjoys the thrill of finding clues to discover the newest hidden location. Furthermore, this hobby has allowed Felix to do some good for the planet earth by picking up some trash along the way because he understands the importance of keeping the earth clean for the current generation and future generations.    Believe it or not but there a high probability that there’s a geocaching adventure in the city you currently live in.

(Megan - Dice Stacking)   In this episode, I had the honour to have Megan as my guest. She shared with me her interest in dice stacking as her hobby.   Dice aren’t only used for board games or gambling, there’s a relatively new way to use dice, and that’s stacking them. It’s more challenging than it looks. Before the interview, I gave it a try and couldn’t even get one die in the cup. Megan continuously challenges her self by trying new tricks to stack these dice. At this point, she can even stack dice with both hands at the same time and even blindfolded. The cool thing about dice stacking is that you can challenge yourself and stack it on almost anything. As Megan and I discussed, it might not be a good idea to stack the dice on the family dog.   Time For Your Hobby links: Website: Time For Your Hobby website (click to find Apple, Spotify, Google and more) Merch: TFYHpodcast  Instagram: @timeforyourhobby Twitter: @tfyhpodcast Podchaser: Time For Your Hobby  Patreon: Timeforyourhobby  Email: timeforyourhobby@gmail.com     If you like this episode and think it can be helpful to someone you are more than welcome to share it and leave a review.

(Deshawn - Bowling)   In this episode, I had the honour to have Deshawn as my guest. He shared with me his interest in bowling as his hobby.   Physics is your friend, your body is the only challenger to make the laws of physics work out for you. In this case, I’m talking about how the laws of physics apply to bowl. If done right, you can strikes a perfect game if everything was done to perfection. My guest Deshawn, almost achieve this by getting all strikes except for the first one. I have no doubt that he will soon get a perfect game, maybe even a few! Interestingly enough the bowling gen runs in Deshawn’s family. According to Deshawn, it’s only a few years after he picked up the hobby that he learned that his father also enjoys the activity. Now his new challenge is to beat his father in a bowling game.   Time For Your Hobby links: Website: Time For Your Hobby website (click to find Apple, Spotify, Google and more) Merch: TFYHpodcast  Instagram: @timeforyourhobby Twitter: @tfyhpodcast Podchaser: Time For Your Hobby  Patreon: Timeforyourhobby  Email: timeforyourhobby@gmail.com     If you like this episode and think it can be helpful to someone you are more than welcome to share it and leave a review.

(Slavicka - Hula Hoop Dancing)   In this episode, I had the honour to have Slavicka as my guest. She shared with me her interest in hula hoop dancing as her hobby.   Hula hoops may seem like a simple circle at first but it has the capability to get your body moving. For Slaicka, she enjoys combining hula hooping with dancing because it allows her to get a full-body workout and also groove to some awesome tunes. One of Slvicka’s biggest challenges with hula hooping was to work on her patience and trying to master a move right away. However like everything in life, the more you do it, the better you will become and you might even end up creating something completely different and make it your own.    Slavicka’s links: Instagram: @sla.vicka   Time For Your Hobby links: Website: Time For Your Hobby website (click to find Apple, Spotify, Google and more) Merch: TFYHpodcast  Instagram: @timeforyourhobby Twitter: @tfyhpodcast Podchaser: Time For Your Hobby  Patreon: Timeforyourhobby  Email: timeforyourhobby@gmail.com     If you like this episode and think it can be helpful to someone you are more than welcome to share it and leave a review.

(Curt - Painter)   In this episode, I had the honour to have Curt as my guest. He shared with me his interest in painting as his hobby.   Deep down inside there’s a Bob Ross in all of us, you just need a little spark of inspiration and maybe a happy tree. Curt pulls a lot of inspiration from Bob Ross’s work but likes to add his personal touch to it to make it more of his own taste and that pretty much the whole concept of being a passionate artist. If you want to get started with painting but don’t know where to start, you can do what Curt did and buy a Bob Ross kit on Amazon, because the first step is always giving it a try.   Curt’s links: Podcast: The Podcasters’ Tavern Twitter: @PodcastrsTavrn Facebook:The Podcasters' Tavern instagram: @hydensiek     Time For Your Hobby links: Website: Time For Your Hobby website (click to find Apple, Spotify, Google and more) Merch: TFYHpodcast  Instagram: @timeforyourhobby Twitter: @tfyhpodcast Podchaser: Time For Your Hobby  Patreon: Timeforyourhobby  Email: timeforyourhobby@gmail.com     If you like this episode and think it can be helpful to someone you are more than welcome to share it and leave a review.

(Justin - Disc Golf)   In this episode, I had the honour to have Justin as my guest. He shared with me his interest in disc golf as his hobby.   Why limit yourself to traditional golf when you can try new ways to get a hole in one? With that being said Justin enjoys to play golf with a disc, hence the name of disc golf. The cool part about this sport/ hobby is that you can pretty much play it anywhere outside, heck you can even play it indoors if you want to break a few things. Unlike traditional golf, the wind plays a more significant role on the movement of the disc so it's important to find the right time to throw or else you might lose your disc and find someone else while you’re searching for your own disc.   Justin’s links: Youtube:https://polyinnovator.space/JustDisc - JD Facebook: @JustDiscJD  Instagram: @justdiscjd Reddit: u/JustDiscJD     Time For Your Hobby links: Website: Time For Your Hobby website (click to find Apple, Spotify, Google and more) Merch: TFYHpodcast  Instagram: @timeforyourhobby Twitter: @tfyhpodcast Podchaser: Time For Your Hobby  Patreon: Timeforyourhobby  Email: timeforyourhobby@gmail.com     If you like this episode and think it can be helpful to someone you are more than welcome to share it and leave a review.

(Dustin - Video Game Sprite / Pixel Art)   In this episode, I had the honour to have Dustin as my guest. He shared with me his interest in video game sprite and pixel art as his hobby.   Remember that Italian plumber that jumps on turtles and absorbs the power of stars? Well he had a simple pixel beginning and Dustin enjoys video games that use pixel art. Dustin enjoys improving the look of pixel art to give it a new or enhanced look and energy. Now this isn't just restricted to simply characters, it also includes world maps. Anything can be made into pixel art, it’s up to you and your imagination to see what you create.   Dustin’s links: Website: https://polyinnovator.space/  Pixel Art: https://www.deviantart.com/zeemo71      Time For Your Hobby links: Website: Time For Your Hobby website (click to find Apple, Spotify, Google and more) Merch: TFYHpodcast  Instagram: @timeforyourhobby Twitter: @tfyhpodcast Podchaser: Time For Your Hobby  Patreon: Timeforyourhobby  Email: timeforyourhobby@gmail.com     If you like this episode and think it can be helpful to someone you are more than welcome to share it and leave a review.
