Today’s episode is the first one we’ve ever filmed. We’ll release the video on YouTube One week after the audio podcast, on the 17th of June 2022. We have a slightly slower, more awkward start because this is the first for us. Please bear with us; we relax into it after a while.

We don’t often ask for things from you, but we’d appreciate as many subscriptions to our YouTube channel as we can manage. It’ll let us know if this colossal effort is worth it in the future.

In our first ‘in-person-pod’, we discuss learning as a mature student. Dan has accepted a place for a BA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography. We talk about Dan’s motives and feelings about the move and whether going to university as a mature student is worth the time and money. And, of course, we wander off-topic more times than we realise.

In today’s over caffeinated episode, Dan and Paul consider why we create, tease episode 037 will be on YouTube, and announce our competition to win a copy of Lewis Quail’s ‘Big Brother’. Simply post about The Idle Hands Society on Instagram before the 10th June 2022 to be in with a chance of winning. Don’t forget to tag us so we see it! Full details at the end of the episode and on our show page.
