This Wasn’t in the Manual is a comedy podcast about adult life — because somehow we’re all expected to know what we’re doing without instructions. Hosted by Callow, it’s full of awkward moments, everyday chaos, parenting, work life, and stories that probably should’ve stayed in the group chat. Honest, relatable, and proof we’re all figuring it out as we go. If you think everyone else got a handbook you missed… this is the place for you.

    A fight with an umbrella. Carpark system betrayal and a jar that launches itself. What a week!

    That’s Not My Number

    A freezer drawer wouldn’t close, a Paddle Pop betrayed me, and suddenly I’m questioning if that order is mine. This wasn’t in the manual.

    This should be simple…Right?

    Not an overly crazy week. But the simple normal things in life felt a bit like I was on stage!

    You Chose the Pain

    Two massages. Two mistakes. Apparently there are rules to shopping centre massage etiquette… and Callow doesn’t know any of them.

    Wait… So We’re Just Meant to Know How to Do Life?

    In the first episode of This Wasn’t in the Manual, Callow realises adulthood mostly involves pretending you know what you’re doing. From a fly-in-the-ear disaster to the chaos of building flat-pack furniture, it’s proof that life doesn’t come with instructions — and we’re all just figuring it out as we go.
