The Happy Chaps: Recent Episodes
The Happy Chaps
Adam, Alfie and James (The Happy Chaps) sit down to discuss a variety of relatable topics, with the aim to make at least one person happier each episode.
The Chaps sit down one last time to reflect and celebrate an amazing year of episodes but also an amazing time at university. With two thirds of The Happy Chaps flying south for new chapters, we talk about our memories behind the mics, at university and our stories that include many of you. This episode was a lot of fun to record, with absolutely everything you can imagine from embarrassing moments, quick-fire would you rathers, listener questions and a shout out to some of our no.1 fans - we appreciate you. Without a doubt, this podcast has been a huge part of our final year in Sheffield and we want to say a massive thank you to all those that have tuned in and supported the chaps. I think we've achieved our goal of 'making one person that bit happier' as we know we have made 3 of us 'that bit happier', so we hope that has extended to some of you. We hope this is just a 'see ya soon' but if not, #StayHappy!
The chaps sit down again after a lengthy leave of absence. Have you missed us? Well, nothing to worry about, some technical issues prevented our return sooner. We thought we'd give you some gossip about our lives lately, and oh my, is there some gossip. We talk new jobs, end of year balls, and just a life update on the Chaps. Hope you enjoy the new, but short, ep and we will be back again soon with all things footy... spoiler

The Chaps are back having a great debate discussing whether aliens are real, if humans are the most dangerous animal and most importantly should your sandwiches be cut into triangles or rectangles? Thank you all for all your support with the pod, keep it coming we really do appreciate all the support and feedback. What better way to start the weekend than with the chaps debating some of life's most frequently debated topics.
The Chaps (self proclaimed entrepreneurs) sit down to pitch their ground-breaking ideas to the Dragons.
In the episode, we improvise some interesting projects that should be breaking industries apart. With innovative ideas from sweeping spectacles, an active app with a monetary motive and a pioneering program, we feel we have the nous to attract investment from many suitors. We try our best to act as potential business owners that are trying to attract the Dragon's investment.
We should probably say if you steal these ideas, we want a 98% stake in your project. In all seriousness, let us know who you think had the best pitch and best idea! Our Instagram is @TheHappyChaps_

The Chaps sit down with Chesca, the President of the Feminist Society here at Sheffield University! We welcomed our first guest to the podcast and had a blast.
In the episode, Chesca discusses what the Feminist Society do here at university, initiatives that have been implemented to help women feel safer on nights out, university strikes, the issues still that are so prominent and how we can do our best to educate ourselves and each other to overcome these issues. Oh, and also who should pay on the first date? With Valentines Day just passing, Fish and Alf debate who will be paying for the other's dinner.
If you are interested in the Feminist Society here at university, have a look at their Instagram @sheffunifemsoc to get involved! Chesca and everyone there have done an amazing job and continue to welcome new members every week. As well, if you have been interested or affected by any issues that we talk about, then definitely message either us on our Instagram page or the Feminist Society on theirs.
As mentioned in the episode, the Feminist Society here at uni host meetings every week at 7pm on a Tuesday evening, please take a look at their Instagram page for news and information on where the meetings will take place, especially during the strikes this week.
We must disclaim that in the episode some comments may not be 100% correct (as we attempt to educate ourselves on certain topics) like when discussing maternity pay when Fish goes off on a tangent, which he does realise, but don't worry, he'll come prepared next time...
We loved having Chesca on and want to thank her massively for being such a great guest.

The Chaps sit down to talk cancel culture. What is it? Who have been the latest people on the end of cancel culture and why? We have a think about where to draw the line between fair and unfair 'cancelling'. In recent weeks, many public names have been involved in recent dramas, such as Kurt Zouma, Jimmy Carr, Joe Rogan and more. As 3 young happy chaps, we try to give an insight into one of the most notorious social media trends and why cancel culture is such a prominent concept today... Towards the end of episode, we go off on a tangent to discuss the Brits awards, along with our Valentines plans and give a teaser into our next big episode which we can confirm, is going to be very enlightening, so it may be our best episode yet... Oh, and #StayHappy

The Chaps sit down for the last time this season (don't worry - bigger and better things are yet to come in Season 2)! The three of us talk all things Christmas and reflect on what has been an amazing start to The Happy Chaps, maybe we should call this Happy Chapmas. Anyway... More importantly, in this episode we rate Christmas dinners, Christmas traditions and we throw some surprises in there for our top Christmas jingles. You'll have to sit down, relax and listen to this episode before the chaos of Christmas begins...
Lastly - from the three of us in the studio, wherever you may be, have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Enjoy your time with family and friends (maybe even mention our podcast when discussing what's brought you joy this year). And again, thank you for the incredible support you have all shown us this season, we can't wait to show you what we have planned for the New Year!

Is exploring the city a must do? What is our biggest tip to thriving at uni? Running through how we made the most of our university experience and how you can too, this is probably the best advice you'll ever hear on surviving and thriving through the great pressures university life throws at you. But in all seriousness, we want to give an insight into how other people may find it harder to thrive at uni, so we discuss the best ways to make the most out of your experience! From societies, going out or going home and meeting new people, us chaps have so far survived and thrived - we hope you will too :)
