Hello and welcome to I Remember My First Podcast. My name is Aidan and as you've probably guessed this is my very first podcast. This will be a conversation based podcast where I'll talk to friends and cover what makes them unique and what makes them them. Every day is a school day and this will be ever-evolving project but essentially I hope you have as much fun listening to this podcast as I will have making it.

    Flippin' the Switch with Aidan Griffin

    Well well well here we are, episode number twenty, it feels a bit special so I did something a bit special. I handed over hosting duties to ep. 19 guest Megan McCormack and she gave me the I Remember My First Podcast treatment or at least her version of it. With this episode I've decided to put things on pause for a while and we'll call this the end of series one for this podcast. In part one of this episode I reflect on the podcast and some of the other creative work that has come with it, childhood, friendships and therapy amongst other things. In part two we do the usual album, film and drink and Megan adds her own questions in and asks me the one person I'd go for a meal with and whether I'm a night owl or a day walker. I really enjoyed being on the other side of the mic and I hope you enjoy it as well and thank you for listening. With that I'll wrap on series one with the words of the Stone Roses Ian Brown: "Don't be sad its over. Be happy that it happened."

    Especial Português com Alexandre, Eduardo, Leonor e Filipa

    Olà! I'm very happy to say that this Portuguese themed episode is now live! For this episode I sat down with Alexandre Saraiva, Eduardo Parreira, Leonor Costa and Filipa Crisóstomo to talk about all things Portugal! This was a big old chat so its been split up into three parts: Part one (04:04 - 52:50) is all about where my guests are from, family life, hobbies, school lives and their move over to the UK as well as the adjustments they have had to make as well.  Part two (53:53 - 1:11:21) covers Portuguese culture, specifically music, food and sport ,well, football. Part three (1:12:26 - 1:26:38) gets a bit festive as we discuss birthdays as well as Christmas traditions such as meals and things.  Each break features a song from a Portuguese artist mentioned in the episode so if there are any that took your fancy they are listed below: Richie Campbell- Do You No Wrong BISPO- Essa Saia Tiago Bettencourt- Morena Wet Bed Gang- Bairro Aurea- Volta This was a pleasure to record and I'd like to thank my guests again for their time and thoughts.  Please go and enjoy the episode, obrigado!

    Fine, I'll Do It Myself: Old Firm, New PM Lizzo, Elvis Presley and Tom Eckles.

    I'm back and in the words of Lizzo, its about damn time. In my second solo podcast I cover the Old Firm, the UK's new PM Liz, take some questions and recommend the Elvis Presley biopic. There is also a short tribute to my dear friend Tom Eckles who passed away seven years ago this week and how his friendship was so pivotal to me and so many others. Tom is actually the handsome fella next to me in the cover for this episode if that helps you all.  As it goes this podcast is attributed to him, I know he is someone who would have loved this format and certainly would have been a great guest so I hope somewhere, someehow you're listening to this and telling me how great they are and also how I can make them better or funnier or whatever.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy this episode and thank you for listening!

    Fine, I'll Do It Myself: Arctic Monkeys, All or Nothing and Q&A.

    They say if you want something doing right you're better off doing it yourself. In my debut solo episode I cover my love for the Arctic Monkeys and my excitement about their return to the world. I recommend the All or Nothing documentary series on Amazon Prime and field a variety of questions in the Q&A section.  I hope you find this episode enjoyable as it's definitely helped me build that bit more confidence in front of the mic! Oh and THOSE glasses are featured in the cover photo of this episode.  All the best.

    Popping My Podcast Cherry with Alexandre Saraiva

    They say you never forget your first and I won't forget this one any time soon.  This is my very first podcast and I was lucky enough have good friend and experienced podcaster Alexandre Saraiva as my first guest.  A proud Portuguese native, Alex was gracious enough to allow me to be the first English guest on his podcast, Uni Verso. On there we discussed his podcast, his motives behind it and what he's learned along the way. So please go and listen to that as well! Uni Verse. #1 first podcast in english, an interview with Aidan Griffin On this podcast, I sat down with Alexandre and in part one we cover him coming over to England from Portugal, his university experiences and his recent graduation. Part two see's Alexandre discuss his favourite album, film and his beverage of choice and his birthday song.  This was a really fun and interesting first conversation and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did recording it.  There were mistakes made in this process and this podcast is by no means perfect but I believe making said mistakes is the best way of learning. This will also be an evolving project and your patience is very much appreciated.
