About the Show

Welcome to the Waffle Cafe podcast blog!

We are Dave and Ben, we like waffles and we like to waffle! So we thought what better way of putting what we like into a podcast for your listening tastes. Each week we will dive into a mixture of 10 topics which you can find below. Each topic will be talked about, debated on and sometimes argued for or against. We both will bring our own knives and forks (recommendations and suggestions) to the table and we will dissect and carve up each other's contributions.

The Topics:

We All Have Good Vibes - in a world mostly of bad news, we hunt around for a good news story of the week to share and spread some happiness!

Gripe of the Week - best to get a moan off our chests early so we will both be bringing something that has wound us up that week. Could be something small like our other half leaving the milk out of the fridge to cats constantly peeing and pooing in your garden and then being sick and then eating it right in front of your window! Too much?!

Tuneage of the Week - we both have different music tastes so to tempt the other into widening their range of music, we both will be recommending a tune or album but it doesn't have to be the latest release, it can be anything from any era. 60s punk anyone?!

Footage of the Week - no, it's not a home movie topic! Like the tuneage, you will be suggested some films or boxsets from the past or of the new era and which platform out of the hundreds out there to watch it on!

Back It Bring - read it backwards and you'll get what this is about! Both of us were born in the 80s, grew up in the 90s, drunk in the 00s, worked in the 10s and now fathering in the 20s! So we tend to be nostalgic and dream of the days of the Super Nintendo or when cassette tapes were the rage! This is the topic where we want to bring something back from the future...or the past!

Win at Life - both being fathers, we value of the importance of things that make the day go that little bit easier so here you will find our recommendations for life hacks, parent tips and some eco strategies to make the world a better place than when we found it!

Instant Replay - big sporting heads here and we both have been to some and seen some big sporting moments over the years. So we will again get nostalgic and relive that sporting moment in history. We will try our best not to just to talk about F1 and Fulham!

You Said, She Said, He Said, They Said, We Said - could not think of another name for Quote of the Week so there you have it! Could be from a famous philosopher or maybe it was something we overheard Mavis at the post office say to Maurice, we will dissect the meaning and purpose of quotes that can inspire us all.

Mortal Kombat - we will pit two things against each other to see who would come out victorious. Basically Top Trumps!

Would You Rather? - a choice that the audience will eventually decide the outcome in our weekly poll. Could be something minor like would you rather drink tea or coffee for a year or something more serious like would you rather be Superman or Batman?!

What's Your Price? - Think of something you would never think of doing. Now, if someone offered you money to do it, what's your price? We will try to haggle each other to the lowest price for the other to do the challenge... hypothetically!

Applesoft - Dave is the tech geek although Ben has a few pieces he uses for his cycling at home so there is something for everyone when it comes to our tech of the week.

Grub Drop - like mic drop but for food! We both have different food preference and requirements so we will be sharing what's been on our plate lately along with how to make it!

After each episode, we will follow it up with a review with some extra info about the topics we discussed and agreed/disagreed on for that week. All that's left is for us to kindly follow us on our social media channels so you won't miss out on any upcoming pods and polls! And welcome again to the Waffle Cafe Podcast!
