Adult Content - Puppy Play
In this week's episode we explore and aim to demystify the world of adult Puppy Play.
A relatively modern off shoot of the BDSM (bondage, discipline (or domination), sadism, and masochism) scene.
Since the mid 1990's people have been dressing up as Puppy Dogs and exploring a world of consensual, adult role-play made popular in the gay leather community, where people dress up and embody the characteristics of a dog (and or their handlers).
I met three Pups (Lucky, Happy and Anansi) and they told me what being a Pup was to them and what it is all about. They meet in Newcastle Upon Tyne in there homes and at a couple of various social events, Howl 2.0 and Pawz Owt

A chance encounter in the chicken shed at Chickenstock festival over a downward facing dog led me to chat with a nice chap. Drawn in by his Santiago De Compestella t-shirt I hastened to ask 'Peregrino?' to which the answer was, look at this tatoo. I may have embelished slightly but sometimes chance encounters happen for a reason. David had great vibes and I had to ask him to tell me all about the Camino Inglese. I thouroughly enjoyed this chat and I hope you do too. Follow the way and eventually you will make it home.Buen Camino

Today we caught up via zoom for the first time properly since we parted with tears in our eyes at the Fisterre bus station. We had the best of time and made friends for life.

In this weeks episode we meet Colm for the first time and hopefully not the last because he was an utter delight to have on the show.
Colm is a believer that everyone can do the Camino and he due to time restrictions at home, he decides to do one section for 5 - 10 days depending on how much time he can be away and then picks it up at a later date.
It's a beautiful and different way of walking the way.
A family man with a very understanding family, Colm talks abut his take on what the Camino means to him.
He also has his very own Youtube channel where he sometimes talks about his adventures on the Camino

In this weeks episode I meet someone completely new. Wendy and I have never met in real life but we have a Camino angel in common. The wonderful Dan Jarvis (see previous episodes and check out his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@Caminohacks he's great. Dan put me in touch with Wendy and she told me all about her experience on The Camino Portugese, it sounds a bit different to life on the Camino Frances. We compare blister stories, food, famiy (camino family) and friendships. The Camino brings strangers together and we all become friends, it's a beautiful thing.

I met Tessa Gooch at the (Free) wine fountain which featured in the film The Way, I didn't say anything at first because I just loved the energy coming from her, but I didn't know that she would be one of the pilgrims who would keep popping up into my journey time and time again. The Camino provides what you need, I think I must have needed Tessa, she was there at some very pivotal moments on my journey and we shared some amazing times. Listen to our wonderful reminiscing of events that took part on what might be the most important journey of my life so far. Tessa was brought up in the UK but has been living Australia for a few years now. Such a beautiful human and so many great stories.

We turn the tables on Stew and we ask Dan (Stew's first Camino Angel) all about his journey on the Camino De Santiago while taking the route of Camino De Frances.
Over the next season we will be interviewing members of my Camino family, but today I talk about a few of them here.
The ups, the downs, the highs and lows. Dan interviews very well, I might be out of a job, or perhaps found a future collaborator.

Fangle Dooble dozer
S.J.Simpson
It’s a fangle dooble dozer
Said Lilly to Rosa
The Stephens they did not agree
I think it’s a thaw ump
Or a digeree dee thump
But it comes right up to my knee
The one in the middle
Said the boy with the fiddle
Away in a world of his own
He played with such glee
Until quarter past three
It’s a shame you can’t bow a trombone!
My cousin Paul’s not my cousin at all
He’s a friend I met at a wake
We giggle at death and poor Uncle Geoff
Who like a stripper, popped out of the cake!
And old Bobby’s like Dobby
He surfs for a hobby
Spends hours just looking for porn
He’s got the best package
Which included a snackage
He’s a veggie so it’s probably just quorn
If he eats the whole thing he might end up in Tring
But he ended his days down in France.
Oh no he’s not dead
He’s with Sister Fred
A nun who wears men’s underpants.
She got up to pray at seven today
She worships a God made of cheese,
She used to be catholic
I think she’s allergic,
The smell of incense makes her sneeze.
In the name of the Gowder
The stinking bishop has power
The big cheddar, the edam, the brie.
She went to confession to atone of her sinning
Because she loved a pirate called Smee.
But Father Mcsharry
Was dreaming of Barry
When poor Sister Fred
Spilled the beans.
Just pick up the can
It’s a Heinz 56 !
You’re missing a flavour it seems!
I’m in love with a man
With a bright orange tan
And a moustache he paints on with ink
He’s not got much of a brain
He might be insane
He calls himself Ethel I think?
He smells like a bakery
He loves buns and pastries
His favourites are pasties from Greggs
But I’d prefer a nice truffle
Or a cocktail with Russel
But I might lose control of my legs.
There’s my new friend called James
Who’s taken the blame
For my lack of decorum on trains
I swear it’s tourettes
But I break into sweats
I think that I’ve broken my brain
But the moral of the tale
Is that nothings for sale
When your friends are as nuts as a scrotum
And I think you’re the best
But I’ll be better with rest
I’m like a bear who’s missing his Totum
POLE.

This is my first ever field recording of a podcast. In this episode I travelled to Leiscester to Turtle Lodge Healing with my friend Franz Hutcheson. We went with open hearts and minds not knowing what to expect for our first ever sweat lodge experience. A sweat lodge is a low profile hut, typically dome-shaped or oblong, and made with natural materials. The structure is the lodge, and the ceremony performed within the structure may be called by some cultures a purification ceremony or simply a sweat. Traditionally the structure is simple, constructed of saplings covered with blankets and sometimes animal skins.The ceremony was run by Jason Sewell of Turtle Lodge Healing.
I met an incredible group of beautiful people and we all gained something very significant by doing the ceremony. Please listen and enjoy the accounts of the events as the unfolded through the day.

The call of the Camino grows strong.
In a previous episode of the Stew Simpson Show we talked to my first member of my Camino family (Dan) and he has reignited the passion in me to follow the way.
Now that I have decided that I will be doing the Camino I need some advice, when should I go? What should I bring? What should I leave? Will I get lost?
Bradley has written about his trip to the end of the world
The book is called the only way is west
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Only-Way-West-Lifetime-Adventure-ebook/dp/B07Q1JKVJ8
he also has his own podcast about the Camino
