			<description><![CDATA[<p>“Candlelight concert” - sounds fancy, intimate and an all-round pleasant evening out, doesn’t it? Perfect date night perhaps?&nbsp;</p><br><p>If you’re one of the many millions of people that’s been targeted by their ads since 2019, you can also confirm that that’s exactly what it looks like!&nbsp;</p><br><p>Hosted in over 100 countries across the globe, a quick “candlelight concert near me” google and you’re sure to find an event pretty close to where you live.&nbsp;</p><br><p>But as with everything we try on the pod, there’s so many questions!</p><br><p>Is it good value for money? Might it be the most boring concert you’ve ever sat through? And with that many candles in one place, how many venues have they managed to burn to the ground?

			<description><![CDATA[<p>10,000 steps a day has become this magic number in recent years that, if achieved, you can consider yourself healthier. Handy!</p><br><p>But have you ever wondered - how many miles does that even equate to? 10,000 sounds like a f**k load. And where do you find the time?!</p><br><p>Also, if it’s all about helping you be healthier, how many calories can you expect to burn? Or is it even a good method for weight loss?&nbsp;</p><br><p>This week, instead of blindly accepting this common conception, we’re actually going to try it and see if it really is as much hassle as it seems.&nbsp;</p><br><p>As always, we discuss the research to see why one would bother with this at all, followed by a very loosely related game (this week, involving Peter Kay… I did say loosely) and finished up by us talking about the experience of trying this for a week to let you know if you should bother with it too.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Make sure to listen to this entire episode without standing up.

And where do you find the time?!</p><br><p>Also, if it’s all about helping you be healthier, how many calories can you expect to burn? Or is it even a good method for weight loss?&nbsp;</p><br><p>This week, instead of blindly accepting this common conception, we’re actually going to try it and see if it really is as much hassle as it seems.&nbsp;</p><br><p>As always, we discuss the research to see why one would bother with this at all, followed by a very loosely related game (this week, involving Peter Kay… I did say loosely) and finished up by us talking about the experience of trying this for a week to let you know if you should bother with it too.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Make sure to listen to this entire episode without standing up. It’ll be more ironic that way.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing? <strong>We’d love your review! </strong></p><br><p><strong>Want to get in contact?</strong> Email: <a href="mailto:shouldibotherpod@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shouldibotherpod@gmail.com</a></p><p>Follow us for <strong>more content on Instagram</strong>: @shouldibotherpod</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Right, so we’re all for saving the world and everything. Looking up vegan recipes isn’t too difficult and vegan restaurants are very easy to find these days. But..</p><br><p>Giving up bacon, chocolate and butter. Or trading in the real thing for vegan pizza or vegan burgers. Wouldn’t you rather just watch the world burn?!</p><br><p>In this episode, we discuss the reasons why you <em>should</em> try veganism (in case your vegan friend hasn’t drilled you on this already), mention some of the surprising foods vegans can’t eat (white sugar???

			<description><![CDATA[<p>We spent the last week channelling our inner bargain hunters, visiting flea markets and skulking around charity shops. The objective - to try and determine if one man’s trash <em>truly is</em> another man’s treasure.</p><br><p>On the hunt for some homeware, clothes and potentially Christmas gifts, we were curious. Would this convert us from full-time first-hand shoppers to second-hand fanatics? And amongst all the inevitable piles of sh*te being sold (not literally; reign in that naivety) how easy would it be to find what we were looking for? </p><br><p>You’re sure to get stuff cheap. There’s an immediate win. But is it enough to overlook the potential frustrations or disappointments as your patience runs thin?&nbsp;</p><br><p>If you're a thrift shopping virgin and wondering the same, fear not.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>We spent the last week channelling our inner bargain hunters, visiting flea markets and skulking around charity shops. The objective - to try and determine if one man’s trash <em>truly is</em> another man’s treasure.</p><br><p>On the hunt for some homeware, clothes and potentially Christmas gifts, we were curious. Would this convert us from full-time first-hand shoppers to second-hand fanatics? And amongst all the inevitable piles of sh*te being sold (not literally; reign in that naivety) how easy would it be to find what we were looking for? </p><br><p>You’re sure to get stuff cheap. There’s an immediate win. But is it enough to overlook the potential frustrations or disappointments as your patience runs thin?&nbsp;</p><br><p>If you're a thrift shopping virgin and wondering the same, fear not. All of these questions are answered for you, by us, in this very episode (what are the chances?!)</p><br><p>So sit back, continue to online shop - or whatever you're supposed to be up to - and we’ll help you decide, “is Thrifting something I should bother with?”</p><br><p>Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing? <strong>We’d love your review! </strong></p><br><p><strong>Want to get in contact?</strong> Email: <a href="mailto:shouldibotherpod@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shouldibotherpod@gmail.com</a></p><p>Follow us for <strong>more content on Instagram</strong>: @shouldibotherpod</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Is it really worth your limited time to learn how to stitch them up yourself with some wool and a needle? </p><br><p>Also, isn’t this pretty much knitting and didn’t we do an episode on that earlier this year? </p><br><p>Listen in for the answer to all of these questions and more, as well as our True or False themed game of the week, “Yarn Tootin’ Or No Way Crochet!”</p><br><p>Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing? <strong>We’d love your review! </strong></p><br><p><strong>Want to get in contact?</strong> Email: <a href="mailto:shouldibotherpod@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shouldibotherpod@gmail.com</a></p><p>Follow us for <strong>more content on Instagram</strong>: @shouldibotherpod</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Or just an easily digestible concept created by a random pastor (Gary Chapman) that people love to cling onto? </p><br><p>If you're desperately seeking a solution for your lackluster love life and wonder if bothering with Love Languages might be the answer, put your headphones on and listen in as we whisper some words of affirmation.&nbsp;</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Ever heard of Seneca or Marcus Aurelius or Ryan Holiday coming up in conversation? If so, you’ve probably been partially exposed to Stoic Philosophy. It’s very like that you zoned out during the conversation, but if not, you may have picked up some nuggets of wisdom. </p><br><p>In this episode, we’re looking into exactly what it means to be stoic. People have been claiming it’s “saved” or “changed” their lives and it’s definitely something you’ll hear CEOs and influencers mention. So is it worth jumping on this philosophical bandwagon? </p><br><p>We start from the beginning, discussing the origins and purpose of Stoicism. We mention a few stoic quotes written by the Stoic OGs. And we talk about how people use it in the modern day, including how it impacted us over 1 week of practicing it. So we’ve got all stoic bases covered. </p><br><p>Best case scenario - we have a free, low commitment, life-changing practice to add to our “feel good” arsenal. Worst case - we call it a load of sh**e but potentially grow a bit wiser. So what’s there to lose?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Wondering if you should bother too? Well this “enlightening episode” may shift your opinion and maybe even, the way you view the world.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing? <strong>We’d love your review! </strong></p><br><p><strong>Want to get in contact?</strong> Email: <a href="mailto:shouldibotherpod@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shouldibotherpod@gmail.com</a></p><p>Follow us for <strong>more content on Instagram</strong>: @shouldibotherpod</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

So is it worth jumping on this philosophical bandwagon? </p><br><p>We start from the beginning, discussing the origins and purpose of Stoicism. We mention a few stoic quotes written by the Stoic OGs. And we talk about how people use it in the modern day, including how it impacted us over 1 week of practicing it. So we’ve got all stoic bases covered. </p><br><p>Best case scenario - we have a free, low commitment, life-changing practice to add to our “feel good” arsenal. Worst case - we call it a load of sh**e but potentially grow a bit wiser. So what’s there to lose?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Wondering if you should bother too? Well this “enlightening episode” may shift your opinion and maybe even, the way you view the world.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing? <strong>We’d love your review! </strong></p><br><p><strong>Want to get in contact?</strong> Email: <a href="mailto:shouldibotherpod@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shouldibotherpod@gmail.com</a></p><p>Follow us for <strong>more content on Instagram</strong>: @shouldibotherpod</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>It’s our Halloween Special! And what better topic to address than one that tears opinions straight down the middle. Ghosts!&nbsp;</p><br><p>Do you believe in them? When we asked our listeners on Instagram (@shouldibotherpod) 62% said yes, which is higher than the typical average of 40-50%. Unless you live in Taiwan, where it's over 90%.

Headspace (the app) features quite heavily, so if you're not a user, we apologise in advance. But even if you're not, don't worry about it! You can get through this. We believe in you xx</p><br><p>Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing? <strong>We’d love your review! </strong></p><br><p><strong>Want to get in contact?</strong> Email: <a href="mailto:shouldibotherpod@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shouldibotherpod@gmail.com</a></p><p>Follow us for <strong>more content on Instagram</strong>: @shouldibotherpod</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>We're cringing, oh so very hard at ourselves. But our plan was to stop "living for the weekend" and finally find a hobby we both enjoy.

And see if they really are worth all the bother of getting up out of our comfy seats to actually try. </p><br><p>Who are we? Gary and Steph - a 30 year old Irish couple, in a long term relationship, that still know f*ck all about what we actually enjoy doing in life. So maybe you'd call this a "quarter-life crisis" type of project? </p><br><p>Give us your thoughts and most of all, tell us what you can or can't be arsed trying.
