We talk about how modding GameBoys has improved Connor’s DIY skills around the house, and the exciting rise of the Right To Repair movement. You’ll also hear an example of some brilliant “chiptune” music, and learn how to make your own!

PLUS, Kayla talks about her hobby of origami, and makes a fish with her eyes closed!

As well as the ins and outs of what it means to do stand-up comedy and how to get into it, we talk about the pressure to turn hobby into a side hustle, how to embrace your innate creativity, and the importance of being completely rubbish at something.

Pete also talks about his hobby of playing the Northumbrian smallpipes!
