(Brendan - Public Speaking)
In this episode, I had the honour to have Brendan as my guest. He shared with me his interest in public speaking as his hobby.
You don’t have to overthink public speaking. You can do it in front of a crowd of 1,000,000 people or you can do it in front of 1 person, you can even do it in front of a mirror to get some more practice. Brendan mentioned that it is important you find a topic that you find interesting because it will be more interesting and you have a better chance at feeling more comfortable to talk about it. He also mentioned that public speaking is not a 1 size fits all, everyone one has their own style of public speak. I for one use my hands more than a normal human should (I do it for every podcast episode). It’s up to you to find what works best for your speaking style. (Source: Wikipedia contributors.

(Ian - Collecting Typewriters)
In this episode, I had the honour to have Ian as my guest. He shared with me his interest in collecting typewriters as his hobby.
A typewriter is a mechanical or electromechanical machine for typing characters. Typically, a typewriter has an array of keys, and each one causes a different single character to be produced on paper by striking an inked ribbon selectively against the paper with a type element. At the end of the nineteenth century, the term 'typewriter' was also applied to a person who used a typing machine. (Source: Wikipedia contributors. (2021, June 6). Typewriter.

(Syahirah - Stargazing)
In this episode, I had the honour to have Syahirah as my guest. She shared with me her interest in stargazing as her hobby.
Definition: Amateur astronomy is a hobby where participants enjoy observing or imaging celestial objects in the sky using the unaided eye, binoculars, or telescopes. Even though scientific research may not be their primary goal, some amateur astronomers make contributions in doing citizen science, such as by monitoring variable stars, double stars, sunspots, or occultations of stars by the Moon or asteroids, or by discovering transient astronomical events, such as comets, galactic novae or supernovae in other galaxies.

(Justin - Juggling)
In this episode, I had the honour to have Justin as my guest. He shared with me his interest in Juggling as his hobby.
You know what they say? What goes up, must come down. With that being said, if you see a piano go up, you better make sure you get out of the wait when it comes down. Justin might not be able to juggle pianos yet but he is able to juggle many other things and he always enjoys challenging himself to push his juggling skills to the next level.

(Bridget - Costuming)
In this episode, I had the honour to have Bridget as my guest. She shared with me her interest in costuming as her hobby.
Inspiration can come literally anywhere when it comes to costuming, whether it’s from a TV show, a movie, someone you know, or even something you created in a dream! Bridget has been costuming for a while now and when she watches some of her favorite tv shows she recreates identical outfits. However, some shows don’t always show the correct angles to see the whole outfit so Bridget puts on her creative hat improvises some new parts which brings the whole outfit together.

(Sar - Poi)
In this episode, I had the honour to have Sar as my guest. She shared with me her interest in doing poi as her hobby.
Doing circles isn’t your only limits with poi, once you understand the physics of it you can do a whole bunch of moves to create some awesome patterns and tricks. However, poi is much more than a simple ball on a string, there’s a deep and rich history attached to it. Sar goes into great detail explaining the importance of taking in all the poi has to offer.

(Mayette - Epoxy Resin Keychain Maker)
In this episode, I had the honour to have Mayette as my guest. She shared with me her interest in being an epoxy resin key chain maker as her hobby.
Epoxy resin if a fun way to add a little personality to your key chains or pretty much anything else you want to jazz up. Mayette enjoys challenging herself by coming up with a new design. Where does she pull her inspiration from, you may ask? Pretty much anywhere and everywhere, her imagination is her only limit. From what she shared with me, she has a lot of imagination and it doesn’t seem to be running out any time soon.

(Chris - Collecting Stamps /Airmail)
In this episode, I had the honour to have Chris as my guest. He shared with me his interest in collecting stamps /airmail as his hobby.
Before looking it up online, did you know the term airmail? It’s as simple as it sounds, mail that is carried by air, so in other words planes. However, many years ago mail was mostly delivered by land or sea, it’s only once the world started using planes more and more that people have decided to try a new method of delivery of mail. Technically speaking all physical mail delivered these days are delivered by planes.
For Chris, collecting stamps and airmail allows him to learn more about our history as humans and learn how people back in the days said to each other and shared. To make this interesting, for this episode Chris shared what people shared in the past with their airmail and stamps.

(Jason - Surfing)
In this episode, I had the honour to have Jason as my guest. He shared with me his interest in surfing as his hobby.
Mother nature can be your friend and also not your friend all at the same time. The important thing to remember is that you must always be aware of what nature can do. This is especially true when it comes to people who choose to surf. Jason fully understands that he must follow the flow of the wave and not try to fight it.
According to Jason, one of the key things that make surfing fun is not sharing your surfing location with everyone since it might make it overcrowded. Having company is always good but you don’t need the whole city’s population to be there.
