    Episode 28 - Behind the Scenes of a Bad Idea

    Yesterday something slightly dangerous happened. I officially announced that my debut single “Why Are People Like This” will be released on April 1st. Which means this strange little podcast experiment has suddenly turned into something a bit bigger. So today we’re doing something different. Instead of analysing society, we’re stepping behind the scenes for a moment — the ideas, the excitement, and the small chaotic adventures that happen when someone with zero technical knowledge decides to start building a studio. Lighting kits that arrive without bulbs.Customer support calls about the wrong colour temperature.And the strange new feeling of posting something online… and actually waiting to see if people liked it. We’re also entering the final stretch of the season. Only five episodes left before the Unfiltered Outsider takes a short break while new ideas — and maybe a few surprises — are being prepared behind the scenes. So for today, welcome to the chaos.

    Episode 27 — The Adult Starter Pack

    Nobody warns you about it. When we’re young, adulthood sounds like freedom, independence and finally having control of our own lives. But when it actually arrives… it brings something else. Folders full of important documents.Passwords for everything.Boxes you refuse to throw away.And the strange moment when you realise people are having very serious conversations about vacuum cleaners. Somewhere along the way, we all receive the same invisible package. The Adult Starter Pack. In this episode, we explore the small, slightly ridiculous details that quietly appear when you become an adult — and the moment you realise that nobody really knows what they’re doing. Everyone is just improvising. Welcome to adulthood. Uninfluenced. Unpaid. Unfiltered.Hosted by Noah B Jackman

    Episode 26 — The Age Illusion

    Everyone talks about age like it’s a clear system. At 18 you’re suddenly an adult.At 30 you’re supposed to have everything figured out.At 40 people start inventing marketing slogans like “40 is the new 30.” Somewhere along the way, humanity decided the best way to deal with ageing was… creative arithmetic. In this episode, I look at the strange theatre of age: the midnight disappointment of turning 18, the emotional accounting of your thirties, mortgages that last until seventy, and the beautiful future where retirement homes will be full of tattooed centenarians. Because everyone says they want to live to 100. What they actually want… is to stay young a little longer. Uninfluenced.Unpaid.Unfiltered. Hosted By Noah B Jackman

    Episode 25 – The Phone Zombie Society

    When did the phone stop being a tool… and quietly become the centre of our attention? In this episode, Noah looks at the strange little behaviours we’ve all accepted as normal: people drifting through the streets with their eyes glued to a screen, entire tables of friends sitting together in silence, and the quiet panic that appears the moment boredom lasts more than ten seconds. From “phone walkers” crossing the road without looking up, to the bizarre ritual of refreshing the same apps over and over again hoping something new has happened in the last twenty seconds — this episode explores the small, absurd habits that turned modern life into what might be the most connected… and most distracted society we’ve ever built.

    Episode 24 — The Dictatorship of Happiness

    Before we start today’s episode… a small confession. I love doing this podcast. I really do.But sometimes I’m sitting here talking into a microphone, staring at two screens, in a completely silent room… and I realize I’m dangerously close to turning this thing into a TED Talk. And that was never the plan. So today we’re doing something slightly different. We’re talking about the strange pressure of modern life to always look happy. Always fine. Always thriving. Because apparently saying “I’m not great today” has become socially unacceptable. Somewhere along the way, happiness stopped being an emotion… and became a performance. Welcome to the Dictatorship of Happiness — where everyone is glowing online, protecting their peace, choosing positivity… and quietly losing their minds behind the scenes. Let’s talk about it.

    Episode 23 – The Apology Olympics

    Sorry in advance.For this description.For breathing.For existing. Actually… no. Welcome to the Apology Olympics — the global competition where gold goes to the person who can shrink themselves the fastest. Why do we apologise when someone walks into us?Why do we apologise in emails for doing our jobs?Why do we apologise to furniture? And on the other end of the podium — the Verbal Judo Masters. “I’m sorry if you felt that way.”That’s not an apology.That’s a courtroom strategy. This episode dissects the Serial Apologiser, the Ego Defender, and the status games we play with a five-letter word. Because “sorry” isn’t about guilt anymore. It’s about power. Uninfluenced. Unpaid.

    Episode 22 - The Pothole That Broke Me

    I didn’t plan this episode. I planned to walk home like a functioning adult. Instead, I was nearly swallowed by a council-sponsored crater with emotional depth and possible planning permission. The roads in the UK aren’t damaged anymore.They’re evolving. Driving has officially become interpretive dance.Zig-zag survival.Premium tax, third-world infrastructure.Temporary traffic lights (since 2016).And cones. Always cones. And if the asphalt doesn’t finish you off, the drivers will. The “Just Five Minutes” diplomat.The Indicator Historian.The Zebra Crossing Gambler.The Car Park Predator. This isn’t a commute.It’s high-stakes cardio for your nervous system. If you’ve survived UK roads this week without losing a tyre, your patience, or your faith in humanity — congratulations.

    Episode 21 - The Fear of Silence

    My Bluetooth disconnected. And I reacted like the car was about to explode. Why does five seconds of silence feel like a crisis? Car — music on.Kitchen — YouTube on.Shower — podcast on.Bed — something playing “in the background”. You don’t want noise. You want insulation. Because the moment it’s quiet… your brain starts talking. And that’s the part nobody likes. Silence isn’t empty. It’s honest. This one’s about the generation that can’t sit alone in a room without buffering its own existence. Uninfluenced.Unpaid.Unfiltered. Hosted by Noah B Jackman
