#StroongeCast E05: Fascinated By Cheese https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7mf_r0GzeQ

In this episode, Kirsten has a collection of husband and wife-related trivia to read to us, and Andre will react to them. He hasn't been prepped ahead of time, so doesn't know what's coming.
Many of these statements are incredibly bizarre and would certainly make for some unusual talking-points around the dinner-table with your partner.
Please tell us your thoughts, and which ones made you laugh, scoff or just say 'What the actual?' we'd love to know.

#StroongeCast E06: Ick-Tock https://youtu.be/ZGlugVedEwY

In this episode, Kirsten has a collection of "Icks" – annoying habits or traits that would be dealbreakers in a romantic partner.

From chewing with their mouth open, to wearing trousers too low, the list is extensive, unusual and in-places very silly such as 'Not wearing a seat-belt.'.

#StroongeCast E09: I'm Tired Of Being Tired
https://youtu.be/_0lpmjsPaII?si=dUEIPdFRElNMM98l

In this episode we hear from Kirsten about her struggles around anxiety and tiredness, how she copes on a daily basis, and the steps she takes to make it through. We wanted to raise awareness around anxiety and also chronic fatigue, and to let those who may be suffering in silence know they are not alone. Talking to someone you trust and that cares for you, can help. Seeking therapy can also be a viable solution and does not make you weak.

#StroongeCast E10: Pink Jobs And Blue Jobs
https://youtu.be/W6Z_Yayyrj8

In this episode we discuss the idea behind 'Pink Jobs' and 'Blue Jobs' with regards their so-called 'traditional' roles in the household.
Blue jobs are traditionally male-centric and Pink jobs are traditionally female-centric in-nature.
Being modern twenty-first-century humans we don't really believe in these designations, but we thought it would be interesting to discuss them anyway.
We're curious what you think about them yourselves.
How do you designate jobs in your house?
If you're living alone ,are all jobs pink and blue?
If you live in a same-sex household, are all jobs one colour?
Of course these aren't at all meant to be taken seriously and we're not here to cause offence, merely to have a little bit of fun with a quite outdated topic.

#StroongeCast E11: For The Love Of School https://youtu.be/taDcYc_8jzE

In this episode we talk about our school memories, the trips, the food, the technology, the experiences we had and how they differ from each other.
Andre attended a specialist boarding school for 8 years, where as Kirsten attended an all-girl school. As a result, their memories are very different from one another and there are few common or shared experiences.
From Kirsten's trip to Russia and having to open her suspicious-looking suitcase in the airport which was taped together, to Andre's experience of being left stranded in Reading train station for hours, and having to get a cab to school, this episode is quite a long one.

In this episode we talk about our Christmas traditions, what we do for Christmas day (and what we did as children) and also hope you'll share your holiday traditions with us if you don't celebrate Christmas in particular. Is there a time of year that you just look forward to so much, you start thinking about it months before-hand? We'd love to hear from you.

#StroongeCast E14: Never Go To Sleep On An Argument https://youtu.be/9LDClW3wc54

Good news! we're now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Just search for 'StroongeCast' in the Podcasts app.

In this episode we discuss arguments, how best to avoid feeling terrible the next day by resolving a bad argument before bed, and some of the ways in which we think we've grown as a couple by hashing things out in a sensible fashion.
As we often say to our children when they're young, 'Use your words!'
Seriously though, it can really help.

Here's the 'How To Make Your Marriage Work' clip mentioned in the episode. Sadly this cannot be viewed in the UK: https://youtu.be/MWcvQx6HiJs

In this episode we tell you about our Christmas happenings, the gifts, the food and the amazing StroongeCast t-shirts created by as she says, 'Our number 1 fan!'
Thanks to Kirsten's sister for these t-shirts, they're comfortable and warm and as soon as we unwrapped them, we loved them immediately.

In this episode we give you the answer to last episode's question, leave you with another, discuss the kids being back at school and talk about a series of cards for partners that make you really have to think.
These are questions you can ask one another and likely get some quite interesting answers. Quite addictive actually.

#StroongeCast E19: Double-Standards
https://youtu.be/wp59KyTUxlk

In this episode we give you the answer to last episode's question, leave you with another, and then discuss the idea of double-standards.
Saying to a man 'Those trousers make your bum look saggy' is harsh, but is likely way more acceptable than saying that same thing to a woman.
'That t-shirt makes you look terrible, definitely want to change that' is equally passable in one direction but not the other.

In our case we simply don't have the need to speak to one another in this fashion to begin with, but many seemingly do.
Our particular double-standards come from raising both a boy and a girl.
We allowed our son to go off by himself earlier with less fear and concern as parents, but not so with our daughter.
Are you parents with children of a similar age to one another?
Do you worry about them going off on their own?
Do you treat them differently, sometimes without realising it?

#StroongeCast E20: Synaesthesia https://youtu.be/gXaB9zsvhwE

In this episode we discuss the fascinating topic of Synaesthesia.

Andre's version of Synaesthesia involves being able to feel certain days of the week, and also some numbers.
Listen as we delve into this, and also some comments from a Mastodon thread Andre created to discover just how many others he might know that have it too.

#StroongeCast E21: Would You Believe It? https://youtu.be/vU2XPUI-gVY

In this episode we give you the answer to the quiz question, leave you with another, and then discuss sayings that you might have heard as children.
From things like 'Don't eat that apple pip, or it will grow a tree inside your stomach' to 'Eat all your carrots, they'll help you see better in the dark.'
To the latter, Andre can attest this really doesn't work, and he wants his money back.

If you had sayings (funny, ridiculous or otherwise) that you were told as children and maybe even pass onto your children now, do let us know.

#StroongeCast E23: Our Tech Of Yesteryear https://youtu.be/UW_ZO8uQRaI

In this episode we discuss our thoughts on the tech of yesteryear, what sorts of computers, games consoles and phones we used, the usefulness of Ceefax and also the fact that our modern washing machine is leaking after only a year in-service.
We complain about the fact that newer items just aren't made as well as their older counterparts, and realise that this definitely makes us seem old.
What technology and/or other electronics do you remember liking when you were younger? did you have a favourite toy, game console or music player? Let us know.

#StroongeCast E25: Phone Or No Phone? https://youtu.be/4sqyFWLOduY

In this episode we discuss the idea of banning phones in schools, what it means for communicating with parents, and some of the measures schools have taken to curb the use of phones both on and off school grounds.
This will likely be quite a polarising episode and we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments, whether you're a parent or not.

#StroongeCast E26: Our Way To Holiday https://youtu.be/WT4JN4qai7o

In this episode we discuss the fact that for the most part, we holiday separately as a couple, and why we choose to do so.
Kirsten takes the children on holidays geared towards long walks with the dogs, farm visits and plenty of outdoor spaces, whilst Andre often stays home to make music in the piece and quiet, or sometimes has a gig of his own which clashes with the week away.

Kirsten tells us all the jobs she's done around animals and Andre tells us about his wish to have been a train driver.

#StroongeCast E39: Is It Just Us? https://youtu.be/ULu-w78LIyA

In this episode we discuss how difficult it is for Kirsten and Andre to call each other by name when addressing one another directly. Apparently it isn't just us either, but we haven't found a name for this particular phenomenon. When on the phone to friends or family, it seems perfectly normal to do so. We only realised we had this strange problem almost 18 years into our relationship, so we started to research it.
We also try to work out why both our TikTok accounts have seemingly been banned from the platform permanently, which is a discovery we made when we woke up this morning.

In this episode we ask a few questions of one another that your partner should know about you.
can you answer these about your partner or friends? How much do you really know?
We also talk about the difference in heat between places like the UK and the Caribbean, and the fact that UK houses don't often have AC, so are harder to cool down during hot spells such as the one we're currently under.

#StroongeCast E42: Don't Treat Me Like A Princess https://youtu.be/7T1vZxQc9QE

In this episode Kirsten delves into an article in which a woman expects princess treatment from her husband in restaurants or whenever they're out together as a couple.
From ordering her food, to tying her shoelaces, nothing is seemingly off the table.
Our opinion is that this behaviour somewhat infantalises a person, and allows them to avoid adult responsibilities in these situations.
The couple have children as well, so if this is also continued in the home, it becomes normalised and thus the children may expect it from their partners when older.

#StroongeCast E43: Why Are You So Jealous? https://youtu.be/nekGM37YgJs

In this episode Kirsten explains an article she found in which a woman suffers from severe jealousy due to a medical condition known as Othello Syndrome. We discuss what would cause us to be jealous in our relationship, explain reasons why it doesn't really apply, but also how it may become a problem if the right conditions were ever reached.

Some information from the article:
The idea of the lie detector test came after Steve made a passing comment about not having done anything wrong, and would "even take a lie detector to prove it," which spurred his wife to make a purchase. This happened right at the beginning of their relationship, when they lived very far away from each other.

#StroongeCast E44: Communication Is Key: https://youtu.be/4XwWBOrg9zM
In this episode we discuss the merits of proper communication in a relationship and how stressful it can sometimes be to make your thoughts understood without offending your partner.

Ed tells us about some of the holidays he's been on which caused him to feel claustrophobic and stifled when he'd just like to sit down with a good book and relax, whilst Andre and Kirsten explain the difficulties they had aboard a cruise ship for their tenth wedding anniversary, and how they failed to talk things out properly. Six years has allowed them to look back over that holiday and talk things out better for next time.

We'd like to thank @ednun_p for being guest number one on the podcast and hope to have many more in future.

#StroongeCast E48: Back To Reality https://youtu.be/EKE3EBd19bo

In this episode we're home after our holiday, and it's a bit of a hard bump back to earth.
Between the 31C heat on Tuesday, to the return to normality, it feels a little like it didn't happen at all.
We do have all the videos, recordings, photos and memories to prove that it did however.
We also have a wish for a much larger bed, since the ship bed spoilt us for how spacious it was.

#StroongeCast E51: Playground Collectibles https://youtu.be/EoDkdmdiDdc

In this episode we discuss the items we used to collect as kids back in the 90's, and some of the more modern trends such as Labubus and Jellycats.

Kirsten remembers collecting Pogs and Spice Girl cards, whilst Andre didn't collect much of anything, though he remembers the old beep and bloop LCD games of the late 80's early 90's heard around the school playground.

What did you collect as children? Do you collect anything now? Did your parents tell you about anything they collected as children?

#StroongeCast E52: For Example... https://youtu.be/SkSO3Bb57mc

In this episode we discuss ways in which we as parents do our best to set good examples for our children. From not swearing or arguing, to behaving kindly to one another, we think that good manners cost nothing but a little time.

Kirsten was on a bus and noticed an angry woman swearing at the bus driver in front of her teen-age sun which sparked this episode. For one thing it's bad manners and for another, it sets a terrible example for that child.
By doing so, the mother normalises that behaviour and it may make the child think that it's also okay to do the same things under the same circumstances.

#StroongeCast E53: Boyfriend Or Heels? https://youtu.be/jyb8LFlbUOM

In this episode we discuss a video in which a man complains about his partner wearing heels to a party.
He feels emasculated, and demands that his now x-girlfriend not go out in heels as it makes her taller than he is.
Kirsten and Andre both decided this is a red flag and partners should not attempt to control what the other is wearing unless there is a compelling reason to do so, such as Andre going out in mismatched clothing by mistake, since he cannot see what colours are likely to clash with one another.

#StroongeCast E54: Growing In Confidence https://youtu.be/SxtSbkEABzc

In this episode we talk about the fact that it's our one-year anniversary of the podcast, how we think it's gone so far, some of the things we may cover in the future, and how Kirsten has grown in confidence over the last year.
There was a time when she'd have refused to be on mic at all, but doing this weekly has made it easier for her to talk to you.
We also touch on the audio quality of some of our favourite podcasts and how some of them unfortunately fall flat, which is surprising, given the budget that some have access to.

Lastly, a new, personalised birthday greeting should you want it. We're starting up a short audio segment called 'Stroonge Cards' which is a personalised greeting from your friends over at StroongeCast that sounds similar to the podcast.
If you'd like such a greeting yourself, please get in-touch to tell us when your special day is, so we can record it for you.
This of course doesn't go out on the podcast itself, it will be sent to you directly.
