About this listen

This is the podcast where two siblings delve into the life of their dad, one story at a time.


There's no doubt he's had an extremely wild life. From crossing eight international borders without a passport, to nearly falling off the edge of Victoria falls (and subsequently narrowly avoiding getting eaten by a crocodile). Then there's the time he was on an aeroplane and the engine blew-up on takeoff, or that occasion when he had breakfast with an American President.


Episode by episode we will be teasing out the details of his adventures during our childhood now that we're all full on grown-ups. New episode on the first Friday of each month.

    In which we hear about houses, houses and more houses! It's houses all the way down... and they go all the way to the top! Why is it spelled houses but pronounced howziz? Don't listen if you want to find out, we don't answer that question here. Enjoy!

    Guess who's back, back again? No, not him, but us! After an unplanned holiday, we return to discuss, well, holidays. We hear about childhood trips from the parents, the original spark (or lack thereof) of their international move, and when I had to make a nail biting choice between being cold and peaceful, or warm and disturbed.

    We delve deeper into Shtee's experience at the Presidential Prayer Breakfast, how simplicity is often the answer, and some genial chat about the early internet. No spoilers, but we discuss the dial up tone at one point and I promised to insert it at the end of the episode, which I did. The particular recording I yoinked was recorded by William Termini on his iMac G3, and I found the recording from this blog post by Oona Räisänen which breaks down the sound of dial up into it's component parts, displays them visually, and explains what each part is. Fantastic, ain't it?
