🎙 "Whisper Wednesday LMBYTS #1463 – Jason Newland – 15th October 2025"
🕒 Duration: 48 minutes, 17 seconds
🔗 View the full transcript here 📝 Summary: Jason Newland delivers a gentle, conversational, and whisper-toned monologue designed to soothe listeners into sleep or relaxation. This episode flows between personal reflections, humorous tangents, and quiet storytelling—punctuated by the consistent presence (and noises) of his co-host pup, Vinny.
🎧 Main Themes Covered: 1. Technical Frustrations with Video Production
Jason discusses his recent attempt to record a video version of his podcast.
The video was broken into multiple large files (10–18 GB each) and proved extremely difficult to upload to Google Drive or iCloud.
After an entire night of failed uploads, he salvaged the project by extracting the audio and publishing it as a podcast.
He expresses frustration over how time-consuming video editing is and resolves to stick with audio-only podcasting.
2. Behind-the-Scenes of Podcasting
Jason walks listeners through his workflow: recording, editing, uploading, generating images, crafting descriptions and tags, and publishing.
Emphasizes how much time it takes to properly prepare a podcast episode.
Reflects on how sticking with audio is best for consistency and his workflow.
3. Life with Vinny the Dog
Vinny frequently interrupts the recording with grooming, pacing, and making noise.
Jason affectionately calls him his "co-host" and jokes about how Vinny seems to act up more when he’s whispering.
Notes how Vinny reacts when it’s time to go for a walk (drinking tons of water first!) and how he interacts with another dog, Archie, whom Vinny adores.
4. Childhood & Random Memories
Jason has a stream-of-consciousness moment about:
Getting called "slaphead" by a local dog-walker.
His brief attempts at fashion—especially in his teens and late 90s when he was very physically fit.
Being influenced by a fashionable friend named Justin as a teenager.
Working out, buying trendy clothes, and showing off muscles (with no photo proof because it was pre-smartphone era).
Reminisces about junior school drawing sessions, cleaning jobs on the docks, and early friendships that started off rocky but grew strong.
5. TV Nostalgia
Shares TV shows he remembers from his youth: Andy Pandy, Crossroads, Rent-A-Ghost, Tiswas, Swap Shop, The Muppets, Banana Splits, and Wacky Races.
Explains how certain shows were tied to specific memories—like heading back to the children's home after a weekend visit.
6. Living Situation & Neighbors
Mentions helping a neighbor move a sofa into her flat.
Describes his enjoyment of a quiet building full of people he doesn’t have to interact with directly.
Wonders whether one neighbor might have a cat on a leash (!), based on a mysterious sighting in the garden.
7. Reflections on Memory & Time
Expresses a wish to have photos of his childhood rooms and past life experiences.
Talks about the unreliability of memory and the power of storytelling as a way to preserve the past.
Jokes about how his body “predicts” the weather (his back for rain, knee for sun, etc.) and pokes fun at the concept.
8. Closing Thoughts
Realizes how fast time passed during the recording (50 minutes felt like 5).
Leaves listeners with comforting reminders to:
Be kind to yourself.
You deserve to feel safe and be happy.
Ends with his signature: "Lots of love. Bye."
🧠 Tone & Style:
Whispered, slow, and meditative, with a touch of Jason’s characteristic dry humor and storytelling.
Feels like a cozy late-night chat with a friend who’s rambling in the most calming way possible.
Ideal for bedtime listening or stress relief.

eBay Gone Wild | Trivia Tuesday | LMBYTS #1462 | Jason Newland | 14th October 2025
Jason’s back with another wonderfully odd Trivia Tuesday, diving into the strangest things people have tried to sell online. From a grilled cheese said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary, to haunted rubber duckies, celebrity leftovers, and even armour made for guinea pigs — it’s one of the funniest, sleepiest deep dives yet. He also chats about filming again, experimenting with lighting, why video editing takes so long, and the strange charm of his old YouTube archives. There’s a warm tangent about William Shatner, George Foreman, Henry Winkler, and the show Better Late Than Never, plus a loving nod to Winkler’s performance in Barry. As always, Vinnie the Jack Russell makes his presence known under the desk, adding to the cozy chaos. It’s a gently funny, meandering episode full of calm conversation, random trivia, and Jason’s trademark sleepy humour — the perfect thing to unwind to before bed.
