9 OCT 2024 · This time Nick and Andy are together in the studio. They discuss a recent visit to the Watercress Line (Mid Hants Heritage Railway). The podcast leads on to the wider discussion on the popularity of heritage steam and diesel railways in the UK including the Great Central Railway in Loughborough & The Severn Valley Railway in Kidderminster.  There is a big reliance on volunteers. Nick and Andy discuss the advantages (and sometimes) disadvantages to organisations in having a volunteer base.
Plus... they ask what sort of people go to heritage railways and what are their expectations of a day out?Â
At the end they sample some Hampshire cheese and talk... as Waitrose fancily term it "terroir".
It's all here... get in touch with the podcast via our website: twovoices.co.uk

23 AUG 2024 · Andy asks what happens to the furniture in restaurants when they close down? Nick has some espresso cups courtesy of his aunty from a closed down Wimpy Bar. Â
We talk about gawping through the windows while people are working… it’s your BBC… except it isn’t! Andy talks about the quality of soap operas.  Nick reveals how he likes to pretend he’s presenting daytime TV from IKEA room sets.
We talk about supermarket loyalty cards, how very variable their rewards are, and the cost of shopping in the 80s. Plus…if you’re in Wales at any time… visit St Fagans National Museum of History... it’s fascinating.
Get in touch… we love hearing from you… via our website: twovoices.co.uk Â
20 JUL 2024 · You told us how much you enjoyed the last podcast... our London walk and talk. So we are doing something similar today. Join us as we walk from London Blackfriars Station via Unilever, Fleet Street, Hodge the Cat, and ending up at the Inns of Court. Plus the usual chatty twaddle along the way!
Please get in touch via the "Contact Us" button our website: twovoices.co.uk  We really love hearing from you.
4 JUN 2024 · This episode is different from the norm. Nick and Andy decided to go for a walk around London and are pleased to have you along to eavesdrop on their conversation!Â
Join us as we start on the Goswell Road near Farringdon Station in London, we go to Angel Islington, then end up in Nisbets. Central London is too busy so we jump on a bus that's hotter than the sun and end up touring via Limehouse via the Docklands Light Railway! We end up at Canary Wharf.  It's the usual rambling chat you know and love but with a bit of walking and a change of scenery. Â
Please get in touch via the "Contact Us" button our website: twovoices.co.uk and tell us if you'd like more of our podcasts in this style. We love to hear from you!

25 APR 2024 · This time we're limited to 40 minutes due to poor technology. Hello to Abigail! We talk about another narrowboat holiday via Atherstone and a visit to a good old fashioned bakery. Plus we visit Birmingham. Why is Birmingham always slated? We love it! Plus... Nick mentions a Two Voices Radio Presentation Skills course he's hosting for 5 weeks in Brentford and how it has some wonderful attendees. Finally... how often do you clean your toothbrush?
It's all here and as random as usual!

13 MAR 2024 · This time… we start with cereal for dinner… you won’t believe the suggestion of the USA Kellogg’s boss.Â
We look at the Crooked House Pub in Dudley, West Midlands… it’s an intriguing story. We talk about re-use of buildings and the surprising number of new buildings still appearing. Plus… the radio station currently off air… for a very strange reason.
We talk our perennial favourite topic… hotel stays… from chain hotels to a recent stay we have made at an old fashioned hotel in Bournemouth.   Andy tells us why he always feels a bit queasy in guest houses but how we loved our traditional bed, breakfast and evening meal bargain.  Don’t forget… if you are in the UK and travel by train… get a bolt-on PlusBus ticket for good value travel for silly money... that's what we do.Â
Please get in touch, we love to hear from you… tell us where you are. Send a message via the website: twovoices.co.uk
28 JAN 2024 · This time...we talk about old bank notes, the Bank of England and the Stock Exchange.
The UK appears to now be a coffee culture over tea.
We talk about moving to other countries and learning the language.
We love a stay in a "pub with rooms" but notice young people come down to hotel breakfasts with their bags and coats on. What's that all about?
Mixtapes and owning music... with the rise of online music... Nick realises that we don't actually own our own music anymore... its quite sad... but equally... quite efficient!
We talk the rent culture and how the UK is all about owning, whereas European cities are filled with renters. That gets us onto the annoyance of Brexit (something we've avoided discussing before!)
Finally... Andy makes a great recommendation that you tune in to a wonderful Youtuber "The Narrowboat Pirate". Heidi is fabulous. She has a filthy sense of humour and you'll love her... like we do!

20 DEC 2023 · Christmas cuddly toys linked with shops – from Venus flytraps to Caterpillars. There’s our usual Retail Roundup. Wilkos is back open in Luton. Smarter M&S stores. Local Radio…not so local. Shirts with pleats… avoid. The robotic café with GPS. Nick reveals potential Christmas death-traps around the house. He finds it difficult to keep a straight face… not because the issue isn’t serious but by the way the article was written. We think you may laugh along!
Please do us a Christmas favour… share our podcast or leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts. Speak soon in 2024. (Nick and Andy)
10 NOV 2023 · This time we discuss our recent trip to Scotland. It's a fabulous country and only an hour away from Luton Airport. We stay in Glasgow, jaunt over to the coast at Largs. Plus we take the train to Stirling and Edinburgh.
You tell us how you enjoy hearing about places to visit in the UK so we hope this will inspire your next tripette.
Get in touch.... email nick@twovoices.co.uk or leave us a lovely review wherever you listen to our podcast from. Thank you.
27 SEP 2023 · This time… Andy has a moan about unnecessary communications from companies… Nick cannot walk through a moving train. Why are the recycling systems so different across the country?
Two further questions… why are the British never prepared for the weather and why our trains are so expensive? As predicted Wilkos has finally gone bust. Andy reminds us of the bargain food mixer he bought from there. We talk fitness, walking and poor supermarket sandwiches when you do decide to go out for the day. That leads us onto poor bread!
Finally… Andy tells us how Neighbours has returned to TV. He tells us what he thinks of it. It’s all here… get in touch via the website: twovoices.co.uk
