    3. Booze, bellies and bloody long voice notes

    At one point in this episode, Emilie makes me laugh so much I forget to breathe and am instead reduced to making high-pitched squeaks. Which was nice. Boomer did it loads; us Gen Xers were no slouches; Gen Z far less into it. Boozing. Emilie and I both used to knock it back at almost professional levels back in the day, so we chat about that and also how that impacts our lives today.  We also talk about how Sniper's Alley is very much a two-way street/alley/you know what I mean. It's early days, but the plan is to feature as much input from you as possible, and in this episode we basically beg you to send us voice notes. We also discuss why we seem to be in the minority who actually love them. Our WhatsApp number is below (and when they launch the functionality soon, you'll be able to just WhatsApp us @snipersalley and not worry about the stupid mobile number).

    2. Prostate cancer from discovery to recovery

    If you're a bloke, or you love one, listening to this episode could save your life. I know that sounds super clickbaity, but after you've heard it, I hope you'll agree it's justified. Emilie and I talk to 55-year-old James Richardson about his prostate cancer journey. He's a lovely bloke, and he talks openly and matter-of-factly about everything from discovery to recovery. As you'll hear, it's a series of "sliding doors" moments that all started with a chance conversation with his plumber. If you only listen to one episode of Sniper's Alley, I'd love it to be this one. And if you can, please share it.

  3. 1. What is Sniper's Alley?

    1. What is Sniper's Alley?

    Does anyone actually read these things? I have no idea. I bet most people just bosh them out with AI these days. But let's not go down that scummy route. Instead, I'm just going to dictate this into my computer and paste it in. But hey, it's the personal touch that matters, isn't it? So, welcome to our new podcast. My name's Rob, and each week me and my co-host, Emilie, sometimes with cool guests, have conversations about the time of life known as Sniper's Alley. Why is it called Sniper's Alley? Well, if you listen to episode one, you'll find out. And *that's* what's known in the podcast world as a tease. We're so bloody profesh. Some important topics get covered in this first episode. We discuss which part of my anatomy is abnormally large. Emilie compares eating food at the wrong time of day to a drug habit. And we look at the signs that you could be getting old before your time.
