    S01 E10 Choosing to be Lazy

    I wish I could say I’ve been busy, productive, or doing something meaningful over the last couple of months… but honestly? I’ve just been lazy.In this episode of The World Through My Eyes, I’m owning it. From putting off jobs for literally years (yes… the shelves are still not up), to convincing myself I’m “too tired” after doing absolutely nothing, this one is all about the art of avoiding effort.I’m talking procrastination, comfort mode, the lie of “I’ll do it in a minute,” and why we’ve basically built modern life around doing less… yet still somehow complain about it.It’s sarcastic, brutally honest, and painfully relatable — because whether you admit it or not, we’re all a bit lazy.🎧 Listen now… or save it for later. You probably will anyway.

    S01E09 Music Hits Different

    If you listen to music quietly in the background… we need to talk.In this episode of The World Through My Eyes, I dive into my slightly unhinged relationship with music — from full-body trance moments in the kitchen to the absolute chaos of people who skip songs after seven seconds. Why does one tune send me back to being 14 in the sunshine while everyone else is just… stirring their tea?I’m talking emotional time travel, serial skippers, the volume police, and the public menace of people who play music out loud on their phones like we’re all attending their personal concert.It’s funny, it’s sarcastic, it’s painfully relatable… and, for once, there’s a little bit of the real stuff too — because music genuinely does hit different for some of us.If you’ve ever had a song completely take you out… this one’s for you.🎧 Listen now and tell me — is it just me… or are humans weird with music?

    S01 E08 why are humans like this?

    In this episode I’m back doing what I do best — lovingly moaning about everyday human behaviour that makes absolutely no sense. From the fake hurry-up jog when a car lets you cross, to plane passengers who spring up the second the seatbelt sign goes off, to kids having absolutely no middle setting — it’s either silent angel or full-volume chaos — I’m picking apart the little moments that prove life is basically a social experiment.I also drop this week’s Weekly Whinge about the absolute madness of people who load their shopping onto the conveyor belt… then wander off to grab five more things while the queue stares them down.It’s sarcastic, honest, very me — and painfully relatable. If you’ve ever thought “what are people actually doing?” — you’ll feel right at home here.

    S01 E07 Life is a circus

    In this episode of The World Through My Eyes, I’m diving head-first into the chaos of everyday life and making the case that honestly — life is just one big circus. From the little public moments that make me question reality, to the tiny annoyances that somehow test my patience more than the big stuff, nothing is safe.I go on a proper rant in my Weekly Whinge about drivers who don’t indicate (you know exactly who you are), and I break down the everyday situations that turn normal people into stressed-out background characters in a comedy sketch.It’s raw, it’s honest, it’s very me — and if you’ve ever lost your sanity over something small and ridiculous, you’ll feel right at home.

    S01 E06Why are things harder than they need to be

    Why Is Everything Slightly Worse Than It Used To Be?Nothing’s broken… it’s just all a bit harder than it needs to be.From logging into literally anything, to apps that don’t help, QR codes everywhere, and “convenience” that somehow takes longer — this episode is a moan, a rant, and a very honest look at modern life through my eyes.Not angry.Just permanently, mildly annoyed.If you’ve ever thought “why is this so complicated now?” — this one’s for you.

    SE01 E05 Social Rules we follow but hate

    We need to talk about the social rules nobody ever wrote down… but everyone somehow follows.You know the ones — fake polite conversations, awkward lifts, saying “you too” when it makes no sense, apologising for literally existing, loud bars where you pretend you can hear, and the unspoken law of queues (because yes, it is that deep).In this episode of The World Through My Eyes, Matt Fairhurst breaks down the everyday social nonsense we all quietly accept — unfiltered, unapologetic, and painfully relatable.If you’ve ever nodded along, cringed internally, or felt personally attacked in a friendly way… this one’s for you.Follow the pod, share it with someone who lives by these rules, and let’s talk about the ones that drive you mad.

    SE01 E04 Things We All Do But Lie About (Don't Get Defensive)

    The Truth is Out.Welcome back to The World Through My Eyes. This week, I’m calling a ceasefire on the "perfectly curated" lives we pretend to have. I’m diving deep into the tiny, harmless, and occasionally shameful lies we all tell just to survive the day.If you’ve ever told someone "we should definitely meet up" while mentally blocking their number, or if you’ve "speed-listened" to a voice note just to reply with a fake "I get you," then this episode is for you. We’re talking about the digital ghosting, the Google-induced health scares, and that sweet, sweet hit of dopamine you get when someone cancels plans you didn't want to go to anyway.Warning: If you find yourself getting offended during this episode, it’s probably because you’re guilty. Stay mad, or stay honest. Your choice.I want to hear from YOU:I’m opening up the "Confession Dial-In" for a future episode. What’s the most ridiculous lie you’ve told to get out of a social event? What’s a "gross" habit you do when nobody's watching? Leave a comment below or message me at [Insert Link/Social Handle] to share your secret. I’ll keep you 100% anonymous—unless your lie is so good it deserves a trophy.In this episode, we cover:• The "Notification Bar Ninja" move.• The 1.5x speed voice note lie.• Why we pretend to care about the 14th-century wool trade.• The relief of the "cancelled plan" text.• Ignoring the doctor and trusting a fruit bat forum on Google.Don’t forget to subscribe, share this with a fellow liar, and leave a review!

    SE01 E03 Fist Pump Moments

    After a full episode of moaning about my pet peeves, it felt only right to balance things out.This week I’m talking about my Top 5 fist-pump moments — the small, completely pointless wins that bring an unreasonable amount of joy.From finding money in an old hoodie, to beating an over-confident motorway over-taker, this episode is all about the quiet victories we don’t talk about enough.No deep meaning.No self-help nonsense.Just relatable moments, dry sarcasm, and a bit of perspective.Welcome back to The World Through My Eyes — unfiltered, unapologetic, and exactly how I see it.🎙 Like, follow, and share if you’ve ever fist-pumped over something utterly ridiculous.

    S01 E02 Pet Peeves

    I launched this podcast in June, dropped one intro episode… then disappeared until January.No excuses. No rebrand. Just classic procrastination.But I’m back — and I’m unloading.This episode is my Top 5 Pet Peeves, counting down from mildly irritating to absolutely rage-inducing. We’re talking:• TV audiences clapping on the beat• People who buy things just because you’ve got them• Absolute lunatics who write in to complain to TV and radio• Snowflakes offended by literally everything• And the undisputed worst of all… people who eat loud with their mouth openThis is raw, sarcastic, unfiltered, and definitely not for the easily offended.No balance. No apologies. No f***s given.If that sounds like your thing — press play.If not… you’ve been warned.🎙️ Explicit | Rants | Opinions | Zero Chill
