    WOMEN PAYING ON VALENTINE’S: challenging traditional romance rules

    Valentine’s Day is under the microscope as we ask—is it true romance or just social pressure in disguise? We look at how it feels at every stage of life and why the smallest, intentional moments often matter more than grand gestures. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we uncover a story that challenges everything you thought you knew about love and heartbreak, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shows how love and care can quietly blossom in the most unexpected places, proving it’s never too late for connection.

    LUCID DREAMS: How reality and imagination blur in your sleep

    We step inside the curious world of dreams this week, exploring what they are, why we have them, and how your brain blurs the line between reality and imagination. We share our own recurring nightmares, wild scenarios, and the dreams that stick with you long after waking. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” a seemingly harmless habit takes an unexpectedly dangerous turn, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shows how old instruments can spark new opportunities, helping children learn, perform, and grow.

    DISTURBING MOVIES: The films that have stuck with us long after the credits

    We somehow found ourselves on a streak of the strangest films and TV shows imaginable, so we decided to lean in and unpack the ones that left us confused, unsettled, or quietly obsessed. From greasy serial killers and severed memories to awkward hockey romances and films that feel more like fever dreams than narratives, we talk about why certain stories stick with you long after the credits roll, and the most uncomfortable themes we’ve ever watched play out on screen. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a jaw-dropping feat that made our palms sweat just talking about it, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shines a light on the brilliant minds quietly reshaping the future of sustainability in a way that feels genuinely hopeful.

    MEDICAL GASLIGHTING: Stories of confusion and missed answers

    We unpack the unspoken GP problem this week, from the god-complex that never admits fault to appointments that somehow leave you more confused than when you walked in. Scott and Shelby share their own experiences with dismissive explanations, lost forms, missing results, and the frustration of being talked around instead of talked to, while we explore how conflicting medical advice and gatekeeping receptionists can quietly erode trust. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a story that raises uncomfortable questions about what really happens when things go wrong far from land, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” reminds us how thoughtful design and a bit of tech can open up entire worlds to people who have too often been left out.

    RACE ACROSS THE WORLD: Recapping 12 marathons in 12 months across seven countries

    We recap Scott’s year of running marathons across seven countries—12 races in 12 months—and share why he took on the challenge, how it felt on the road, the lessons he learned, and the moments that pushed him to the limit. From his most memorable runs to the toughest and even a few dangerously close calls. Scott also reveals the next big goal on the horizon, and it’s one that will push him further than ever before. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we dive into a story so absurd it proves truth is stranger than fiction, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” highlights a medical breakthrough that could change lives in ways you wouldn’t expect.

    FAMILY SECRETS: What we uncovered about our past in wales

    We catch up on December life, asking whether we managed any rest or just went full speed.  We share our first trip to Wales together — from Scott reconnecting with grandparents after 20 years to Shelby discovering her deep Welsh roots stretching back centuries. We share our favourite purchase of the year and discuss whether going on holiday with your parents as an adult is cool. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” a devoted hobbyist takes their strange pastime to viral heights — a reminder not to “yuck someone else’s yams”.

It's obviously a market for it there, there clearly is.”“A polar bear has adopted a cub that isn't her own. I love this wintry tale. It's actually been caught on camera, which I think is really cool. But in the Arctic, a wild polar bear was filmed adopting this cub, but that's actually unusual activity for polar bears 'cause they're quite solitary animals.”“And that was cervical correcting pillows… honestly, it's a life changer.”

    NEW YEAR PRIORITIES: Why your thirties feel so different

    We talk New Year’s Eve through the different chapters of life, from teenage wildness to twenties  wildness excess and the very different energy of your thirties, and what celebrating actually means as priorities shift. We look back at last year’s resolutions, whether we stuck to them, what this year’s intentions really are, and what’s about to land in Shelby’s annual letter. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” a viral moment involving a very intoxicated animal takes a turn nobody saw coming, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” reminds us how paying attention to the small routines and familiar faces around you can quite literally save a life.

    NOMADIC LIFE: The highs, lows, and strange realisations of travelling to 12 countries in 12 months

    We look back on our second full year of travelling the world, hopping through 12 countries, and reflect on what it’s really been like living out of a suitcase for this long. We talk about our favourite and least favourite places, what each country taught us, and the strange moment of self-awareness when you overhear someone else name-dropping their travels and realise how pretentious you probably sound too. It turns into a bigger conversation about people, connection, love, and why saying no to war should really be the easiest decision of all. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a story that somehow mixes dinner with disaster in the most surreal way, and in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we share a moment of community solidarity that genuinely restores a bit of faith in humanity.
