Diary of a Wannabe Human: Recent Episodes
Belle Fin
Every year I start a diary and every year I've given it up by the middle of February. For 2022 I've decided to record my activity/inactivity and I am challenging myself to complete the year and earn my place as a functioning human being. Join me as I showcase the people, events and sounds of my home town, London. Which is all in addition to my poorly thought though views and opinions. A real life soap opera.

Coming from a very chilly flat, I provide an update on Vera's health and impart an anecdote which I can't really remember but is loosely linked to Meatloaf and Ben Elton's recent stand up show.

Lamenting the value of spreadsheets and celebrating the latest changes to the UK Government's Covid-19 response, I discuss my need for some more creativity in my life.

Recorded live on location from my kitchen as I prepare my dinner and reflect on my day and some sound advice I was once given.

Fresh from my induction, I over enthusiastically embrace a new found American phrase as well as discussing Vera the plant's unfortunate mishap. The new addition to my household also gets a shout out.

It's day one of a two day induction at work and I am part way through listening to Matthew McConaughey's autobiography on Audible. I also discover and collect a great quote by Maya Angelou.

Feeling good about today because I worked out the ending to Scream. Don't worry, there are no spoilers but I should warn you there is a very bad pun instead. I discuss a food based discovery and the top ten boring things in life (according to a trashy newspaper article).

I say bon voyage to my new American chum and discuss my day of firsts which naturally, are mostly food based. I also seem to make reference to it being 2020. Of all the years to relive, that would be the worst! Anyway, pretend I said 2022 instead :)

Beginning with a confession but ending with a love story.

Some new voices to listen to today. Tam, the wonderful hostess of West End Wendies gives it a little plug and you can also hear the opening bar of my friend Matt singing his song. My new plant also gets a shout out.

Brief discussion of my night time plans and my new listener and comedy rival Mark. You'll be pleased to know the carpet is now dry and this will be the last ever mention of that topic!

In this episode I provide the next instalment of carpet gate as well as a discussion of my day lazing around a very soggy London with the American.

A great day! Apart from the smell of my newly cleaned carpet and an inebriated man on the bus. A very comedy based day but with a little bit of American adventure thrown in for good measure. This time the sound effect is all my own work (well recorded from the bus in which I was travelling).

Very short podcast following my return from a stand-up comedy competition in which you may pick up just a little excitement in my voice....

Mooning about on a raining day watching 1970's kids TV shows. I also ponder on the effectiveness of the gym's sales tactics and my latest podcast critiques.

I made it through the first week! In this episode I discuss my trips to the cinema and the hospital as well as a little bit of discussion about comedy about disabilities.

If there were evidence required that I am not yet a fully paid up member of the human race and this vanity project is indeed vital to my pursuit of normalcy, then this episode is it (so far). I did have a little play at adding a sound effect though.

Trying out my new mic for the first time and checking back in after my cinema visit last night & dentist visit today. I also channel my inner Italian...

Beginning with a wet and windy walk by the Thames, I go on to discuss my many purchases and how Keanu Reeves is a very nice chap.

After taking a walk down Memory Lane yesterday, today was all about the dangers of Quality Street. In today's episode I talk about a broken tooth and gag reflexes.
Another day another fur ball. Today I discuss learning how to speak proper and take a stroll down memory lane or to be more accurate, memory close.
My first ever podcast! It's very short because I genuinely underestimated how difficult it would be to talk out loud without an audience. In this episode I discuss the Golden Girls, shopping and fur balls but failed to introduce myself. Well, there's always tomorrow...
