Hello You Podcast

From working at home and being nosey about people's backgrounds, to adding new words to the English language and connecting with others - it can only be the latest Hello You Podcast episode!

Nature and wonder feature heavily in this hour of frequently random chat. Men fall in ponds, cicadas sleep for a prime number of years and we talk about how a practice rooted in Aikido can enrich our worklives.

Shownotes and links are available (https://shownotes.helloyoupodcast.com) - so please pull up a comfy chair because the Salon is open!

Yes, dear listeners, it is indeed episode 30! While other podcasts may go back into their archives for moments of deep reflection, Louise & Neil shamelessly pitch for research funding to lick Glacier Mice to see if they taste like Glacier Mints, or to support the academic corpus with investigations into alcohol, music and synchrony.

It does make sense (in the madcap way that HYP always makes sense). And things that we deep dive into (when we're not finding ways to invest research grant funding) include:

• Playlists, musical mediation of experience and moral values
• Audience synchrony during classical music concerts
• The mystery of Glacier Mice (the mystery isn't whether they taste of mint, but that is also an unknown)
• Mice wearing VR headsets
• And much, much more!

So, please, pull up a chair, pour something warming and join us on a laughter filled exploration of all that's interesting!

And don't forget - shownotes are available, with links, for your further HYP-ing pleasure - shownotes.helloyoupidcast.com!

In the brand shiny 29th episode, we start exactly how we end up going on: dancing joyfully between individual context and the bigger context, with an audio tour of Neil's 'biography shelf' which introduces the cat that came with a washing machine.

We'd love to share Episode 29 of Hello You Podcast with you. Come in, the Salon is open and you're very, very welcome! If you'd like a sneak peak, or want to explore the inspirations for this month's meanderings, we invite you to cast your eyes over the show notes here: https://helloyoupodcast.wordpress.com/2023/11/03/episode-29-system-level-levers-and-the-individual-shimmy/

Welcome to HYP 25 (the quarter century being a milestone that we completely miss talking about...) - the Salon is open!

We dive into the cinematic marvel that is Everything, Everywhere All At Once, hurtling into language and the joys of untranslatable words. Louise drops a book recommendation, before we nuzzle up to linguistic taxonomy and its influence on reality, Algospeak and how violence is done to words. And yet, we revel in the changing nature of the words we use, whether as tools to create clarity or evade surveillance while in plain sight...

As is that wasn't enough, the conversation takes a turn into emotion at work, psychological safety and how clarity is both necessary and exposing for true leaders.

To round off, we sidle into RSS. Neil loves it, Louise thinks it's dark magic. But what say you, dear listeners?

75 minutes of pure Hello You Podcast joy await - so please, draw in your nearest & dearest, pour something nourishing and join us in a Salon of exploration in the unfurling experiment that is HYP!

It's the last episode of the year!  Louise & Neil get somewhat meta by diving into perceptions of reality, Anil Seth, Ruth Ozeki and psychogeographic place names.

Well hello! Pull up a comfy chair for Episode 17 of Hello You Podcast ...

This month we talk a lot about disruption in one form or another. Disrupting the dominant narrative, disrupting how we experience the world by (re)naming, disrupting our own ideas of what inclusion means and what it implies. And, of course, something about wolves and bananas ... (hint, it's Eurovision related).

Come on in - the Salon is open and we'd love you to join us. For links & resources mentioned in the episode have a look at the shownotes here: https://helloyoupodcast.wordpress.com/2022/06/01/episode-17-disrupting-wolves-with-bananas/ 

Welcome to Episode 16 of Hello You Podcast! Come in, sit down and get comfy all in the name of exploring discomfort.

Come on in - the Salon is open and we'd love you to join us. See the shownotes at the link below to give you a flavour of what you'll be dipping into ...

Welcome to Episode 14 of Hello You Podcast! As always, the Salon doors are thrown open and you're invited in! This time, Louise & Neil dive into the ebbs and flows of language, dig into a fabulous poem and explore issues of equality and inclusion. We'd also love to hear from you - what words or phrases have you collected over your lifetime which no one else has ever heard of?  Let us know!

HELLO, YOU! Ready for an explosive welcome? Neil delivers ...  

We starting with a poem that plays with surreal, yet specific, imagery "I want to write about an Orange" and so it goes on from there

Well, Hello You! It’s been a minute since Louise & Neil last got behind the microphone (apparently). Louise has been on holiday and there’s a super sense of discombobulation as she picks up the threads again. From birdsong to happiness, we explore awe and dive into what positive stroke ratios are (and why they matter). We also throw out some listener questions (we would LOVE your feedback) and discover something that sounds like the start of an academic joke at the University of Sussex: A Life Scientist walks into a tea room… Shownotes available here:  http://shownotes.helloyoupodcast.com

Well, Hello You! Since the last time we last recorded Neil has been offering customer service consultancy for free to a well known rail company, in other words attempting to resolve a troubling ticket issue and being led a merry dance ... and so it goes on from there.
