    Listener Question: Books, Language & The Silmarillion

    In this bonus episode, Dad and I answer another listener question and, as always, one question somehow turns into several completely different conversations. 😂 We chat about our favourite books as children compared with the books we love as adults, how language has evolved, and whether people even talk properly anymore! Dad also tells me about one of his favourite books he’s currently reading… although getting him to actually pronounce the title is a whole different story. 😂📚 There are a few laughs, a few differences between our generations, and plenty of opinions along the way. Just two generations, one question, and absolutely no guarantee we’ll stay on topic. ☕️🎙️ Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/arbour-season/rubatosisLicense code: W3AGP3VZIALQRRSP

    Episode 6: The Curious & The Unexplained - Part Two - Where Did This Conversation Go?

    We were supposed to be continuing our conversation about the unexplained… And we did. Sort of. 😂 In this episode, Dad and I find ourselves wandering down a few more mysterious rabbit holes, from Stonehenge to the fascinating power of trees and whether there really is something healing about being amongst them. We briefly venture into the world of the Illuminati, before somehow ending up in much more personal territory, including Dad revealing that he started smoking surprisingly young… something that genuinely shocked me! And then, because apparently no conversation between us is stays on topic for very long... we somehow end up discussing tequila, questionable decisions and (little warning) vomit. 🤢😂 So, no… this isn’t a perfectly structured exploration of the unexplained. It’s two generations, one conversation, a lot of curiosity, a few rabbit holes and absolutely no idea where we’re going to end up next. Grab a cup of tea and come and get curious with us. ☕️🎙️ Because honestly… one thing really does lead to another.

    Episode Five: The Curious & The Unexplained - Part One

    The Curious & the Unexplained — Part One Important tea related information.. You may notice, at various points throughout this episode, the unmistakable sound of dad putting his cup of tea down. it is simply dad contributing to the sounds effects department.. over a cup of tea... quite literally What happens when a conversation over a cup of tea takes a few unexpected turns… and suddenly you’re talking about numbers, coincidences, myths, legends, folklore and the things we just can’t quite explain? In this episode, we dive into the curious, the strange and the unexplained, exploring some of the stories, patterns and ideas that have fascinated people for generations. From the meaning we give to numbers and repeated patterns, to ancient myths, folklore and those wonderfully weird moments that make you stop and think, “Okay… what are the chances of that?” Is it coincidence? Is there something more to it? Or are our brains simply very good at finding patterns and meaning? There are no scripts and definitely no expert answers here... just a genuine conversation between a dad and daughter, following the rabbit holes wherever they lead. And there were a LOT of rabbit holes. 😂 So many, in fact, that we couldn’t fit everything into one episode… This is Part One — and Part Two is coming soon. 🐇 ☕ Grab a cuppa, settle in and come get curious with us. In this episode: ✨ Numbers & patterns ✨ Coincidences and synchronicities ✨ Myths & legends ✨ Folklore ✨ Strange and unexplained ideas ✨ The stories we tell ourselves about the unknown ✨ And plenty of completely unplanned tangents! As always, thanks for listening and joining us for another chat. Monkey & Me Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/arbour-season/rubatosisLicense code: W3AGP3VZIALQRRSP

    Episode Four: Music, a surprisingly lengthly conversation about Cheese & New Chapters

    This episode we have Summer, my little sister and Dad's third daughter, joining us for a chat. As Dad puts it Summer has the attention span of a Goldfish, so naturally the conversation goes off on a few… tangents. We chat about a bit of everything, music, parenting, starting a new chapter as Summer gets ready to move on to secondary school, and, of course, a surprisingly lengthy conversation about cheese. It’s one of those episodes where we didn’t really know where the conversation was going to go, but that’s kind of the point of Monkey & Me. Just three of us, a cup of tea (Juice for Summer) and a chat that somehow manages to covers a bit of everything! Enjoy.

    Episode Two: Confessions, Climbs and Classroom Crimes

    This week we’re back with another father-and-daughter chat, and this one goes in all sorts of unexpected directions! Dad shares the story of climbing Ben Nevis, we look back at how different school discipline was compared with today (including a horrific yet somehow humorous headteacher story), swap a few light hearted confessions, and reminisce about Dad getting up to mischief, It’s another cosy conversation full of laughter, nostalgia, and the kind of stories that somehow get funnier every time they’re told.

    Welcome to Monkey & Me

    Welcome to the very first episode of Monkey & Me! In this introductory episode, we introduce ourselves, explain why we decided to start the podcast, and chat about what you can expect from future episodes. Monkey & Me is all about honest conversations across generations. As a daughter and her dad, we'll be sharing stories, discussing modern life, reminiscing about the past, and exploring the topics that get people talking. We won't always agree, but we'll always listen, and hopefully have a few laughs along the way. Thanks so much for listening. If you enjoyed this episode, please follow the podcast, leave a rating or review if your app allows it, and share it with someone who you think would enjoy the conversation. We'd love to hear from you too! If there's a topic you'd like us to discuss or a question you'd like us to answer, get in touch, we might feature it in a future episode. Oops! during this episode 2025 was referenced instead of 2026! Chalk it up to one of those moments! Thanks for bearing with us!
