Don't Be A Stranger - The Jak Bowler Podcast

Jak Bowler

I'm Jak Bowler and in this podcast I sit down with people from life and have a good ol' natter! People past and present, friends and family and everything in between! I explore my relationship with my guests and how and why we came to know one another and get to know them better along the way. Ultimately I attempt to answer the big question - How well do you really know someone and how often do you actually talk about it?

    Episode 10 - Louise 'Weeze' Grieve

    Episode 10 - Louise 'Weeze' Grieve Weeze is one of the gang from high school and someone who I deem as the 'First'. She was the first one of us to get into a relationship, settle down, get married and get her shit together really! We hadn't seen each other since her wedding and since then she's now become a mum and had gallstones (not at the same time!) and we discuss Latvian dogs, memories from our youth and the challenges of being a mum and how that affects her identity. All in all she's still the Weeze we all know and love - she just has the added alias of being a cool mum now!

    Episode 9 - Niki & Ian Bowler (Mum & Dad)

    Episode 9 - Niki & Ian Bowler (Mum & Dad) Quite simply put, Niki & Ian Bowler are my Mum & Dad and the people that raised me to be the person I am today. They emigrated to America over 6 years ago and I fly out to visit them once a year and during my most recent trip I thought it would be stupid to miss out on the opportunity to get to know them more than I do already! We discuss their move to states and how that came about, likes and dislikes of their surroundings and what they miss from the UK. We then roll back the years and find out more about how they met and even unearth some things from my childhood as well!
