Podcast 246 – Who the hell parks like that?

No flashy intro on this one. No smartphone news. It’s all a bit serious I’m afraid. Cancer. It’s not a nice thing to talk about and it’s not something I’d ever imagine doing a podcast about, but since the last Coolsmartphone Podcast (in July!) I basically very nearly died. Here, then, is my story and how I went to a completely normal Sunday morning to being told, only a week later, that I had hours to live. Don’t worry though, because there’s a lot more to this – it’s a story of hope and the how the utterly amazing NHS The post Podcast 255 – The Cancer Edition is original content from Coolsmartphone.

“Sporadic” seems to be the word for these podcasts. If you’ve listened to some of them then you might be aware that they’re usually recorded in the car as it’s the only free time I have. However, these are not normal times. These are very strange times and that “podcast I recorded the other week” was actually nearly 3 months ago.

Normally I record these podcasts whilst driving to and from work. However, the world has turned upside down of late and I’m instead sitting at home eating far too many biscuits. It’s all a bit weird isn’t it? The coronavirus has changed things so much, and despite the fact that sitting at home is a lot better than being in a hospital bed, we’re all having an unexpected amount of time on our hands. This is why we started the “Home Active” feature, and in this special Lockdown Podcast, I’m sat in my kitchen looking at the various options available The post Podcast 252 – Coronavirus Lockdown Biscuit Special is original content from Coolsmartphone.

Yes, we’re back – the podcast has returned! We should have a big bumper news package after Mobile World Congress in Barcelona but, as you know, that went in the bin due to coronavirus outbreak. In this episode we cover that and the impact it’ll have on the people who were going to attend. What about all those who invested so much to get there? Also, I talk a bit more about leaving Sky, coming back and then leaving again.

It’s been a huge two months since the last podcast. What happened? Well, normally I record these podcasts whilst driving and, just recently I’ve had a distinct lack of car.
