Mildly Informed

🎙️ Welcome to Mildly Informed – the podcast that won’t fix your loft, improve your tram network, or hit the right note at karaoke… but will absolutely overanalyse all of them.

Join Richie Firth and Chris Skinner as they tumble through another week of questionable decisions, domestic chaos and surprisingly strong feelings about dried fruit. Mild insight only. Let’s not pretend otherwise.

This week’s episode features:

🥭 Top 5 Dried Fruits – raisins? apricots? a place for a prune?

🪜 Richie’s Loft Discovery – genuinely unbelievable

🚊 Trams – do we love them? do we trust them? do they exist everywhere?

🎤 Karaoke – the songs, the shame, the power ballads that should never remain private

PLUS – on Patreon, the boys delve into school concerts. Chaos, camcorders and kids singing wildly out of key.

🎙️ Welcome to Mildly Informed – the podcast that won’t secure your home, restore Victorian Christmas traditions, or finish your loft conversion… but will absolutely talk about all of them.

Join Richie Firth and Chris Skinner for another week of vague investigations into modern life, festive nostalgia and one man’s ongoing battle with his roof space. Expect mild confusion, gentle opinions and no real answers.

This week’s episode features:

📱 Pluribus – the best new TV show?

🔔 Ring Doorbells – surveillance for your postman and your soul

🎄 Dickensian Christmas – charming tradition or cold, muddy nightmare?

🏠 Richie’s Loft – now includes train sets

PLUS – on Patreon, Chris reviews his work-from-home lunches. Expect limp sandwiches, rogue leftovers and one surprisingly elite discovery.

🎙️ Welcome to Mildly Informed – the podcast that won’t cure a hangover, shorten an inset day or tell you which Quality Street is best… but will absolutely debate it at length.

This week, Chris Skinner arrives noticeably hungover and Richie Firth does what any good co-host would do — prods him with questions and refuses to let him off the hook. From school schedules to seasonal chocolate, it’s a week of highs, lows and mild regret.

This week’s episode features:

📅 School Inset Days – educational for teachers, chaos for parents

🍾 Free Booze – delightful on the way in, devastating on the way out

🍬 Quality Street – what’s elite, what’s filler, what must go

📆 Advent Calendars – chocolate, cheese, Lego, whisky… has it gone too far?

PLUS – on Patreon, Chris opens up about getting his kit off for the doctor. A story equally vulnerable and very funny.
