We have always been huge propogators of physical therapy and really making sure that your bones and muscle is positioned in the correct fashion.

P.O.D: Yoga

Unfortunately, regardless of the rise in popularity of yoga it seems as though (particularly amongst my fellow men) that yoga is severely misunderstood.

Learning about CBD: Repair, relief and recover

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/09/07

CBD is not something that either of us have ever been exposed to as neither of us have ever been marijuana smokers. However, after a friend of mine exposed me to the wonders that CBD has performed for him I became curious. It was not until Access CBD reached out to us for a collaboration where we decided to take a deep dive in to this industry and what we found was pleasantly surprising. In this episode we will be discussing some initial research and discoveries we have made on CBD, what it is, why

2020/09/02

We have received many messages asking why we haven't been posting any new episodes, well unfortunately I tested positive for Covid-19 and have been self isolating. We decided to record this episode where I explain the symptoms and feelings I experienced during this ordeal. We implore you to accept the fact that this is far more then a 'bad flu'. This is a virus that can make you extremely unwell and in some cases lead to death. We must come together to fight this and make sure that we don' subject

As we have discussed in our previous episodes we are huge believers in unleashing your creativity and always exploring what helps you do that, whether its blogging, building, painting, videography or photography, we encourage you to try it all! However in this episode we talk about a hobby we have been practicing for several years and that is photography.

P.O.D: Foie Gras

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/07/30

As avid home cooks and self proclaimed foodies we found ourselves discussing the ethics or certain farmed produce and naturally Foie Gras came up! Due to the prohibitive price point of Foie Gras it seems that this mysterious food has managed to travel under many peoples radar, however, it is not so much the food itself that we shall be discussing but the farming techniques. There is great debate on whether or not the farming of Foie Gras is ethical so here is our take on that subject. Pull a shot

Why do we ask the "your favourite" question?

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/07/27

As podcast hosts we value great quality conversation, however, what does great conversation mean? The "what is your favourite" question seems to be a hallmark of conversation and relationship building. In fact I would use the question myself to strike points of interest and further a conversation but why do we use that question so profusely? Is there a secret meaning behind that question? Are we asking it hide our true intentions? We discuss why this question is used and the numerous settings and

Mind espresso: Where would we time travel to?

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/07/22

On a more serious note, time travel has always been something that fascinates me, in fact, when I was 15 the first speech I made was on stellar mathematics! However today we are playing doctor who, if we had a time machine where would we travel to and why? We would love to know what you guys would do so feel free to let us know!

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/07/20

As you are well aware we are both practicing minimalist, we only keep things in our life if they suit a certain criteria and conclusively provide happiness and value to our lives. Of course this applies to everything, however, clothing is easily something many can get carried away with, owning clothes that still have the tags on months later is a common occurrence! In this episode we discuss what to look for in a pair of trousers/pants and what to avoid. How can you get the greatest bang for buck

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/07/15

Movies have been a big part of our episodes from day 1. Both being movie buffs means that we tend to see many movies together, one in particular seemed to stand out to us and we of course we reserved discussion until we got to the studio! We discuss the socio-economic ideas that are explored in this movie and tackle the question whether or not the ideas were portrayed effectively and entertainingly.

Constructing a great CV is easier said then done, some spend a lifetime without perfecting the nuances of what makes a CV stand out. As the job environment changes like never before and the arena becomes more competitive there has never been a better time to jazz up your CV. Having been on both sides of creating and reviewing CV's we have decided to create the second part to our 'interview' episode. We explore what makes a CV unique, what you can do to improve the content, format and layout of your

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/07/08

Welcome to our new format of episodes! Point of discussion or P.O.D for short, where we discuss interesting topics and matters in around 15 minutes. Diets have always been a rather divisive topic, are they unhealthy? Should we all eat a 'balanced diet'? Having both been in competitive sports we both believe that diets are completely dependent on your lifestyle. Join us as we discuss what diets we have tried and what our take is on the ever changing platform of fad diets.

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/07/06

Exploration and curiosity go hand in hand. The recent success of the Space X ISS mission has of course triggered new interest, people are no talking once again about what is beyond the stars, whether we can live on mars and if one they 'they' can also visit other planets. However, a continuous stigma that has been attached to space campaigns is "is it worth it?" Why should we continue to fund space exploration when we are problems here on earth. In this episode we discuss whether the previous

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/06/29

I don't believe this episode needs much of a description. With the recent events following George Floyd's murder the world has now started to recognise the overt and covert discrimination of people of colour. This started off in the US but the message has now reverberated across the world causing action and conversations to happen around this subject. As two people of colour and from 2 different generations we experience racism on a daily basis in the UK. It is now time to have this conversation,

2020/06/24

The heat in the UK seems to have finally gotten us, far too hot and bothered to actually be satirical about something we decided to put each others survival instincts to the test and grill each other on how we would fare in a cast away situation. What would we do? What would our priorities be? Since the entire pretence of this episode was primarily to poke fun at each other we want you to to think what you would do in a similar situation, would you be able to survive? Would you go mad?

From the success of the previous mineral water episode we were requested to explore a particular water we mentioned called Svalbardi, this is a glacial water that retails for £100! In this episode we give our feedback and opinions of that particular water and explore whether or not this luxury water is actually worth it. We also delve in to other luxury waters that go up to £100,000 a bottle, this is absolutely a world seldom talked about seriously but is extraordinarily interesting! Brew a cup and

Music has always been something important for both of us and to have a great HIFI system thoroughly improves the entire experience. But where do you start? The speakers? The amp? The cables? The source? Where on earth do you start? There seems to be lots of opinions on the internet about how to start off building your HIFI but we are going to do our best to simply that process for you!
