Where are the chavvy ghosts?
Episode 7
Friday, 19 September, 2025
September’s flying and so are our moods: cooler days, a harvest-moon reset, candles, incense and a little sage to clear the cobwebs. We dive into spirituality—full-moon feelings, visits to a medium, and those goosebump moments when loved ones seem to break through with oddly specific messages. That leads us to ghosts (why are they always Victorian?), belief vs. scepticism, and the strange comfort of the unknown.Then it’s trend talk and the collective ick: everything being called “viral,” matcha mania, novelty trinkets dangling from handbags, and band tees for bands you’ve never actually listened to. From there we segue into comfort > dress codes: hoodies, baggy jeans, breathable fabrics, why ties are on the decline, and a heartfelt ode to the confidence of wearing a kilt (plus some, erm, seasonal practicality).Public-space pet peeves get an airing—slow walkers, path-blockers, and tiny humans running the supermarket self-checkout like it’s Mission Control. We also debate pet cafés: cute in theory, but what about animal welfare and hygiene?On the culture front, we share what’s in our ears and on our screens: pure-pop that’s great for running, a face-melting metal collab, G Flip’s 80s-synth vibe, and Emarosa’s latest. TV chat ranges from Traitors Island and Australian renovation chaos (The Block) to Kim’s Convenience and a tour of Real Housewives (Potomac supremacy, Sydney drama, London launch). We also recommend the bite-size sci-fi gem Upload for easy, end-of-day watching. Reading corner: one of us is deep into a book that’s turned surprisingly mystical—in the best way.We close with cosy autumn plans—a seaside weekend, family (and Murray the dog) time—and a burst of good-news stories: progress on diabetes treatment, smarter waste-to-energy, ocean-safe plastics, a huge new koala park, a giraffe learning to use an inhaler, butterfly numbers ticking up, and even a “lost” shark species rediscovered.Expect laughs, a little woo-woo, a little rant, and a lot of comfy-season energy.
