LudicrousPilgrim: Recent Episodes

LudicrousPilgrim

Wandercast is a podcast and you take it on a wander.

Each Wandercast invites you to adopt a particular playful focus and to use these various ludic-tinted specs to explore the world around you. Some even focus on a particular person or place.

What will you discover about places you find familiar? What might you discover about unfamiliar places? I once found a huge potato in the gutter, so I put it on a postbox. True story.

You can enjoy Wandercast on your lunch break, on your way home from work or school, or whenever you want really!

Each Wandercast has a bit of info for you to read before venturing out into the world, which will give you some idea of what that episode is about. However, I’m not going to give it all away beforehand because that would spoil the fun, wouldn’t it?

This work originated in my practice-as-research PhD, and I am now a Doctor of Ludicrousness, believe it or not! Most episodes have a feedback form to fill in after you've experienced each episode. Please please please do fill in the feedback forms, as the info helps me to continue to make and develop this work.

The forms are at the end of each Wandercast post on my website. Find the one you want here http://ludicrouspilgrim.co.uk/category/wandercast/

Important: the answers that you give will feed into my research so be sure to read the official stuff in the Participant Information section.

Wandercast Ep.2 Feedback Questionnaire - Please Fill Me In :)

If you’re a returning Wanderer, welcome back. If this is your first Wandercast, I’m so glad you’ve swung by. Either way, buckle up because things might get a little ludicrous. In Wandercast Episode 2 we’re going to explore how everyday environments can become our adventure playgrounds. Just like the project as a whole, this is about unearthing some play in the everyday by looking with new eyes (and a cheeky grin) around places that we often might take for granted.

Thank you for opening the door to the Wonderful World of Wandercast; you are in for a treat and no mistake.

My name’s LudicrousPilgrim and I’ve devised the Wandercast podcast series to draw people together to unearth a little playfulness in everyday life. This is not to seek the “life changing events” that occur with remarkable regularity on talk shows, game shows, and reality TV. This is to tweak the way that we perceive and interact with the world; to see and feel the ...
