Shaneanigans: Recent Episodes
Shaneanigans
An assortment of rambles, pop culture and lifestyle discussions with some random Aussie and occasional guests.
WARNING: this podcast may contain traces of nerd talk, musical theatre trivia and subtle (or overt) references to Kelly Clarkson! Listener discretion is advised...
Almost a year since the last episode, I jump straight into discussing the direction of this podcast - namely a centralised focus on pop culture and keeping things fun!
This episode kickstarts a roughly 10 episode mini-series of reviewing Masters of the Universe (MOTU) Revelation (available on Netflix) joined by an extra special guest, and equally massive MOTU superfan, Twitch streamer Curzel_Chat (https://www.twitch.tv/curzel_chat). We spend this particular podcast episode unpacking what the MOTU world is all about, including the histories of known heroes He-Man and She-Ra.
Strap in for a massive deep dive over the coming episodes!

Did the title get your attention? I promise there will be talk about a particular giant wang/dong/peen in a TV show at the later part of the episode.
Before I go on, a small trigger warning that one of the earlier segments will discuss some of my mental health journey and initials struggles this year. It's nothing too serious, but when you get to the point where I start talking, you can skip ahead to 26m06s if you want to avoid hearing about it.
I may have dropped the ball in updating the podcast regularly, but I am back and hopefully going to continue to keep it somewhat regular... but who am I kidding!?
I cover what has happened since Jan 22nd, good and not so good (but then better again). I discuss some of the TV I have been obsessed with and a lead-in to future episodes which are coming soon.

My dear listeners - it has been forever and a day!
I update you on what has been happening since August 2020 - and it's not all roses for me. I do manage to update on some cool stuff I have been doing, including a new business venture (Scentsy!) Check out the store at http://shaneanigans.scentsy.com.au/

Once again, unintended hiatus - but the podcast is back again.
I go through some of the updates of the last month, including where the pandemic is at.
I also touch on some of the events surrounding the show Glee, including the tragic passing of Naya Rivera. There's some insight into future episodes of the podcast as well.
Finally, I recommend some podcasts for you from amazing people in the indigenous community (as recommended by Em Rusciano on the Emsolation podcast).

I'm back!!!!
After an unintended hiatus, I am back with my fifth episode. Did you miss me? I talk about current events, including my wish to be a better ally to our Black communities around the world. I realise how uneducated I am about the world events surrounding Black Lives Matter and I want to be better.
This episode is about personality testing, specifically the Myers Briggs indicator. I run through a free test via www.16personalities.com to see how different my results are to 15 years ago when I last ran it.

Having exceeded my own expectations of getting to four episodes, I devote this episode to providing a brief dive into the world of ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). Firstly, what is ASMR? Then I discuss what actually constitutes ASMR with some examples for you to hear. Finally I give an idea of how ASMR has its share of weird and wacky elements to it also. Shoutouts to the ASMR channels I give a mention to in this episode:
@ASMRTheChew @Gibi ASMR @Gentle Whispering ASMR @Marno ASMR
A link to the notorious 'pickle eating' video mentioned also! Thank you again for all the support so far. Please get in touch and let me know what you would like to hear next, send me your ASMR experiences and just generally get in touch over the social platforms.

Back again! Surprised?
This time I wanted to add a new format to the regular content of reviewing a binge-worthy show and covering it from start to finish. I gained inspiration from Em Rusciano and Michael Lucas from the Emsolationpodcast (love them!) as they gave their own hot take on the show Normal People.
So here it is listeners, my honest review on the hot new show on Stan (Australia), Hulu (USA), or BBCThree (UK). It has so many dynamics that you just cannot stop watching all 12 episodes!! You will laugh, you will swoon, you will definitely cry and you'll likely want to throw any available projectile at the TV at least once or twice - but don't do it!
Before the review I recap the social media connections, ask you to send me submissions for addition to future episodes and ask you to share share share! Finally official on Google Podcasts, so we have the holy trinity of Apple, Google and Spotify hosting us!
Keep in touch and get the conversation going - how did you feel about Normal People? Are you also in love with Connell?

Would love to hear from you dear listeners!
We're back! Surprising even myself that I didn't flake after one episode! Exciting news: we are on Spotify and iTunes so far - Google to come!
I talk pretty candidly this time about my experiences with mental health, anxiety in particular, and I reveal a phobia I deal with on a regular basis. I offer insight on how I handle my anxiety and then close with a series of tips and suggestions to promote your own wellbeing.
Please follow along, share with anyone you think would be interested and get involved in the conversation.
I implore you to share your history with mental health, what you do to work with it and suggestions you might have for promoting wellness. If you feel brave enough, send me a recorded message through the below link. I might even include you in an upcoming podcast as a follow-up to this one!
