Episode 4, Dulux Marine Splash

Today's episode is a special episode (My birthday special) it features one of the best paints I know. Dulux Marine splash. This is longer than usual as I kept applying more and more paint. It was too good to stop. This has been recorded with new equipment so leave your opinions on our Instagram. 

Paint related joke of the week:

I don't know why my painting career never took off

Doctors always told me I was on the artistic spectrum.

Episode 3, Rape Yellow

Episode 3, Rape Yellow

In this episode I listen to the famous Aldi paint, rape yellow. Which is an abbreviation of rapeseed yellow. The paint was discontinued because of its name. 

Paint related joke of the week:

I used to date someone with a twin, and I was often asked how I could tell them apart. It was easy really Michelle used to paint her nails yellow, and Simon had a penis.

Listening to Paint dry, Episode 1, Dulux Pepper Red

This is the first episode of my new relaxing podcast, where I share some of my favourite noises that calm me when I am stressed. Today I chose Red Paint, this is because it has a softer sound when it dries than other paints. Some people prefer green paint as it has a slightly sharper drying sound, which I respect. We can all agree the orange drying paint fans are just childish and should be re-educated in the sport of paint listening.
