Welcome to the one hundred and fiftieth edition of The Chronicles of Podcast, Tom and Jamie are back with another entertaining episode full of laughs and quirky conversations!
Kicking things off, Tom shares why he’s rocking sunglasses indoors, we dive into an offbeat topic about using dried cereal and porridge as construction materials—because it might be the hardest substance ever? We touch on the recent US elections in our own light-hearted style. Plus, a conversation about online shopping orders turns in a discussion about one of TikTok strangest hacks, Tampons in cooking oil? The boys also catch up on their weeks including going to see The Story So Far together, Tom's weekly NFL update, Jamie's adventure at a Ship Graveyard and seeing Wednesday 13 live in concert.
As always, we have our regular segments: Callum’s Teachings, where Callum leaves us speechless with his first mind-bender; Tom’s Journal, where he reads out the funniest things he’s found online; and Jamie’s Audience Participation Challenge, where we ask this week’s burning question: if you could combine any two sports to make a unique one, what would they be?

Welcome to the One Hundred & Forty-Ninth Edition of The Chronicles Of Podcast, These are The Chronicles of Dave McPherson
Join us as we dive deep into Dave's early journey in music, his path to early success with InMe, and the creative process that drives both his band and solo projects. We explore his song writing approach and the distinctions between writing for InMe versus his solo records, and we uncover the reasons behind his decision to pursue a solo career.
We talk all things InMe, from the band's breakthrough debut album Overgrown Eden and its vinyl re-release—raising the burning question: "Is the vinyl edible?"—to the pressures and experiences of gaining success at a young age. Plus, we discuss the band's future, their upcoming album Demons, and the plans for a mini UK jaunt. Is three dates really a tour?
We also discuss the end of an era with Simpsons Tapped Out shutting down after 12 years and being removed from app stores, and we ask a vital question: are cats actually bipolar? Then, in our latest hybrid sport segment, we explore Chess Boxing, the unique combination of brain and brawn. Things get even funnier as Tom manages to make anything sound a little risqué with his “after dark XXX” commentary. Plus, we’re catching up on our week as Jamie shares his Halloween horror movie marathon, while Tom updates us on his NFL fantasy football streak.
As always, we have our regular segments – the return of Callum’s Teachings, Tom’s Journal with this week's funniest internet finds, and Jamie’s Audience Participation Challenge, where we ask: what movies would be better if all characters spoke with a Scottish accent?

We also dive into the weird and wonderful topics that we all somehow relate to! Why did we think hiding in clothing rails as kids was a brilliant idea? Pigeons being scared of buses? We ask 'is there a child out there named Daffodil?' We also ponder the eternal mystery: why is Pingu’s dad always ironing? Jamie shares his experience at the Birmingham Horror Film Festival, supporting friend of the show Braden Barrie, while Tom gives an update on his NFL fantasy football streak.
