Wood Wehn In The Membrane

This podcast sometimes may lack them, but this episode is all about them ! FACTS !!Now a question; who invented the television?Have a think, probably you know, if not you WILL find out. You will also hear at least 5 other FACTS in this episode and some opinions on modern media. Next week....KNEESFollow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

It's all about 'The AC' and can the boys rise to the challenge and do twenty minutes on air-conditioning? Yes they can. Henning is a BIG fan of opening windows, but less keen on air-con, but Jake likes a blast of AC after a hot walk around Rome. Who knew that would be the starting point of a twenty minute plus discussion on the pros and cons of AIR-CONDITIONINGComing Soon: KNEESFollow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

EPISODE 50 of WWITM and it's all about SPELLING. The replacement of words with emojis, phonetic learning and the dying art of letter writing all get the Henning & Jake treatment. SPELLING!After this episode concluded the boys discussed next weeks topic with the producer, who said there was no way that anyone could get 17-20 minutes of material out of AIR CONDITIONING, but that is what next weeks episode is all about. Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

TRAINS is the topic, and we learn that Jake was very nearly a Trackside Zoetrope millionaire, if only he'd been bothered. Jake's enthusiasm for the subject shows no limits although he rarely gets off at his destination, but prefers a round-trip. You can skip the first thirty seconds of the podcast though as it's pretty much just Henning and Jake going "Choo Choo" to each other. Suggest a topic below. We might do KNEES soon. Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

It took several tries to even spell the title for this weeks episode ...EMBARRASSMENT. And if it wasn't for that red line below the word, we'd probably never get it right. Embarrassing. Jake messes up the intro but once he gets his notes sorted it's a rip roaring ride through the subject with Jake admitting to one huge faux pas but generally being immune to embarrassment while Henning's embarrassment levels are so high that he won't get a cleaner. That, and more on this episode of WWITMEPISODE CONTAINS SWEARINGNext week...TRAINSFollow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

The topic is FIRE and both of your podcast pals have had their run-ins with FIRE, although there is still much enthusiasm for the subject. Jake romanticises about campfires while Henning takes us on a bizarre journey to the banks of a German river. And there are mentions for Rambo, Emperor Nero and the Toronto Blue Jays.More next week. And the week after that. Maybe forever. Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane

Turns out the episode on BOREDOM is anything but.Henning and Jake have some strong opinions on the subject and wonder if a little boredom is not a bad thing. There are plans afoot for the WWITM Retreat, and Jake shocks Henning by telling him about Bone Conduction Speakers. They exist. Henning can't figure out how to play podcasts which is worrying...but the German Comedy Ambassador is a solution focussed individual, so he finds a way. On the website. https://www.woodwehn.com/Next up...NEWSPAPERS! Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

For fans of shorter podcasts, the boys are back to their tight twenty minutes after rabbiting on a bit on the last two. This episode is about CRITICISM. Henning has yet to get his well deserved Bundesverdienstkreuz while Jake is not the Proucer of Stewarts Lee's TV show, but no one is CRITICISING them for that.Suggest topics in the comments. Go on. Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

It's EXPERT LEVEL on this one as Henning & Jake take on the topic of HOTELS. Henning requires a window that opens, Jake likes a little luxury but not too much. But NO SPOILERS...there is something SO odd about Henning's sleeping preferences that it would be a shame to mention it here, and you not get to enjoy Jake's absolute astonishment. We'd love to know what YOU think so comment below!And it's a great podcast for fans of duvets.Suggest a topic on your social channels.

The longest ever episode of WWITM ...but mostly because of the length of the pause when Jake asks Henning if he has a Sky Box. Henning isn't sure. The topic is ADVERTISING so expect reminiscences on old adverts in both the UK and Germany and how Henning's voice over for the Brighton Christmas market wasn't German enough. Jake though did sound English enough in his advert voice overs. We will be advertising this episode with video clips on our social media sites. Henning does a Geordie accent. Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

The boys put on HATS and talk about them for a while, before digressions into trying to buy Middlesborough Football Fanzines without cash and a part of the tale of William Tell which makes the Swiss out to be a right rowdy lot. On Social Media you will see the HATS in question. It's well worth seeking it out to see what Henning puts on his bonce. Coming Soon....Hotels, Advertising and ComplaintsFollow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

"We Are All Made of Stars" sang electronic musician and animal rights activist Moby, and Jake confirms it, although without much evidence, in this episode about ... ELECTRICITY.Henning makes the point that electricity, while essential, is a bit of a double edged sword and the boys admit they don't really understand where it comes from, or even what it is. But you didn't come here for a learning experience. At least we hope not. HEY! Leave a comment please and help WWITM grow...Next week it's HATSFollow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

Expect fireworks as Henning and Jake have words over CYCLING, or better, cyclists "the most persecuted group in society" according to the German Comedy Ambassador. Jake wants to tax them, and the conversation deviates towards the state of British roads.Despite his devils advocate stance Jake admits to owning lycra and a mountain bike so the boys part as friends. And he's half French so has to like CYCLING.Coming soon...hot topics include HOTELS, HATS and ELECTRICITYFollow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

The boys discuss EXPECTATIONS with opposing views. Jake was told by his careers advisor to give up acting, Henning had no expectations of becoming a stand-up comedian when he arrived in the UK some twenty years ago...it's all about EXPECTATIONS!It's 2026 so "ENGLAND EXPECTS" !!

THE GREAT GIVEAWAY!! Henning and Jake have PRIZES to give to two lucky listeners who have helped our algorithms by leaving likes and reviews, because without such things we don't stand a chance. The boys read out reviews and pick the winners of the EASTENDERS Street Sign and the many many signed Henning Wehn DVDS including one that had a celebrity director/cameraman! There are brief diversions into English Cricket fast Bowlers and the recording of Would I Lie To You, but otherwise it's the reviews.

The boys dabble in the topic of SCENT this week. We finally find out the reason that Henning didn't play professional football at the highest level while Jake gets sentimental for the days of white dog mess on the streets.  There is also a story about a career low-point for the German Comedy Ambassador.Back next week with another fascinating topicFollow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane

A new year is a time to reflect and this episode finds the boys in a nostalgic mood. There is a lot of chat about the good old days when you paid a man when you wanted to use a car park and some grumpiness about apps. Jake remembers a fraudulent car park in London and Henning mentions the war at least once, but I think he got away with it alright. Next week will be Social Media or Scent...Please comment below as we will be giving away the prizes next week too...those signed bits of Eastenders and German Comedy memorabilia.

If you could live with just one, would you chose Radio or TV...that and other questions partially answered in this episode of WWITM, all about RADIO. Jake and Henning are vague on the technology but are certainly ALL IN on the subject and there are very few diversions and even fewer conclusions. Coming up next VEGANS !Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

WARNING: ACTUAL INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT YOGA IN THIS EPISODEWith only some deviations about watching Hastings United and drinking, the boys break down YOGA, something they are both very much in favour of.Namaste!Next week...RADIOFollow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

R.E.S.P.E.C.T find out what it means to me, asks Jake, while Henning muses that he wouldn't make a very good scaffolder. Jake offers up some EASTENDERS memorabilia for anyone who comments or reviews the podcast and there is some surprise about the things that people queue up to buy in shops in York and London. Jake also tells us "As you go through life you realise that no one has a clue what's going on" which is a mantra this podcast strictly follows.Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

Henning and Jake go deep this week and consider the subject of DOUBT. It's a wide topic and the boys also talk Fear, Vertigo, Alton Towers, Wycombe Wanderers and selling tickets for the O2 Arena. Plus there is insight into the Germany University Education system and outrunning hungry tigers. What shall Henning and Jake discuss next week? Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

Henning and Jake take on the topic of TEETH in this episode of WWITM, and it's fun all the way as the dynamic duo talk about their fascinating history of dental work.We learn the German for 'Milk Teeth" and if you search our social channels you will see the clip where Henning thinks that gold teeth are great. There is also some debate on the pros and cons of 'Turkey Teeth'Next week there is no DOUBT about what the topic will beFollow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

Henning and Jake are back with another topic and it is COMICS ! The sort you read rather than stand-up... 2000 AD and Viz both get a massive thumbs up from the boys and there is much enthusiasm for the subject, and a bit of digression to ponder the Only Fools and Horses Convention in Hastings. Next week...TEETHMaybe we will do an episode on REVIEWS or COMMENTS in which case maybe you should review or comment below and if we do get around to it, we could read them out. Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

Henning and Jake are back with a deep dive into the topic of GARDENS...and they both love them! Henning attempts a joke about Kew Gardens which, much like the aircraft above the London horticultural wonder, flies well over Jake's head, and he vows to not try that again. NEXT WEEK the topic is a bit different, but the quest for common ground successfully continues as the lads celebrate their love of COMICS.Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

CARS is the topic. Henning is sceptical but agrees they are needs, but Jake won't believe half the things he claims, so please google about the Paris thing yourselves. Back next week with the subject of GARDENSFollow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

SCIENTISTS PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN Henning & Jake are back for another topic, and it's the MOON!The lads speculate on whether there is was ever a moon landing, Jake is shocked by the amount of men that have supposedly walked on the moon and there is some speculation on whether the sun is more important and tides and stuff.It's an episode full of fun, but very few facts.Hit us up on social media with topics.Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

The topic is PLUGS although plug enthusiasts be warned, there is not that much about plugs in this episode. But Jake does have some actually facts about plugs. There is discussion about moon landings, baths versus showers, Viz comic and a why Henning thinks living in England is a "right laugh"Back next week with another cracking subject. Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

The sweetest of all podcasts as Jake & Henning open, then close the book on SUGAR. There is plenty of speculation and general opinions about sugar but not much you'd describe as information or facts, although Jake does read out what Wikipedia has to say on the topic.And Henning tells us about the time he was in a French hospital pretending to be English.Next week...PLUGS which will be a dream for anyone who thinks this podcast is too long. Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

Take 2 !!Jake & Henning are back to talk about something that happens to us all...Aging!It's the second attempt to tackle the topic as Henning ruled that the first recording was awful and insisted on giving it another go. It turns out he was right. The first try will NEVER be heard. Maybe one day sound archivists will discover it on Simon's computer or on the giant Zoom server in San Jose and release it as the great lost recording, but it's doubtful.In this episode Henning reviews the 'great lost recording' and tries a bit harder to get the podcast cancelled, but in truth is egged on by Jake, and there are some interesting takes on the subject that they take on 'head down'...AGEReview us if you can, or want. Next week there will be another topic. It might be plugs. Not sure yet. Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

We believe this is the first ever podcast about the topic of BENCHES, and it is a subject that will almost certainly not be repeated. Jake and Henning look at benches and their many uses, but no one was prepared for the rather dark turn this podcast takes around three quarters in. This episode replaces the previously adverted episode about AGING because Henning didn't like that one. But don't worry fans of aging, that episode has been re-recorded and will be 'coming soon' ...Got a topic? Hit us up...social links below...Just noticed, we haven't got a wikipedia entry for this podcast. You know what to do...Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

Or is its PAJAMAS? However you spell it, Jake and Henning are here to take a deep delve into PJs. The boys try to decide when is it acceptable to wear them and come up with a partial answer. Next week...the topic is AGE which is a pretty neat segue between podcasts if you listen to the end of this one, which you should. It's only just about 20 minutes long.Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SCARY STUFF THAT LISTENERS MAY FIND DISTRESSINGJake and Henning are back to discuss things that go bump in the night!...is there something or someone out there? Are we surrounded by spirits and ghosts? Will you get any answers from this podcast? The boys recount their own supernatural experiences, and tells tories, some of which you may have heard before if you are a regular listener, or maybe it's just deja vu ?!Another episode NEXT MONDAY or whatever day you get around to it.Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

Henning disputes Jake's stats that suggest Germans drink more tea than Brits. But they do. There is some chat about Tea alternatives but the podcast is mainly Jake getting worked up about a British Tea advert from the seventies that Henning has never seen. Approximately 7 minutes of this part of the podcast was edited out, but it is still most off the podcast. Forthcoming topics include Teeth, Benches and The Paranormal Suggest one of your own why don't you? Or comment below and we will be happy. Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

To think that this, or any episode of WWITM, may not have ever happened had their childhood holiday mishaps had rather more negative outcomes, but Jake and Henning are survivors so are here to talk about 'Holidays'. Henning isn't much for them while Jake loves going on holiday almost as much as going home. Enjoy!Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

Jake & Henning are back to take on the subject of 'Globes' and we learn a lot in what is being hailed as "the best episode of WoodWehn in the Membrane so far" by some of the greatest producers in audio and radio. We learn the Jake owns a large part of Saturn and of a time travel mix-up down under, and that Henning has very little to offer when Jake enquires about gravity. Yes, Globes!

WE HAVE A WEBSITE!It's woodwehn.com...And 'Hope' is the topic of this episode of WWITM as Jake & Henning chat around the topic and try to decide whether it is a good or a bad thing. In between Henning takes us to a religious escapade near Euston station while Jake says that as an Arsenal fan it is, indeed, the hope that kills you.Back next Monday !Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

Jake is applying for French citizenship so knee-deep in paperwork, but not too bust to spend 25 minutes talking to Henning about Mountains. The German Comedy Ambassador and former ski tour guide is surprisingly knowledgable about mountains, although he was responsible for the off piste near death of several Germans, but we can look back on it now and have a good laugh. Henning also makes a decent stab at answering Jake's question "What is the best thing to do if you get caught in an avalanche?" and there is a brief tour, with mountain heights, of the Lake District from the back-on-Eastenders star.Why not suggest future one word episode topics on our social media?Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

In this episode the German Comedy Ambassador tries eagerly to pry into Jake's bank account while the actor reveals there is no parity in the earning power of Eastenders stars. It's all a bit awkward as money is one of the things that you just don't talk about but the boys mange to do so for nearly 25 minutes. Taxes, health care, the stock market and gambling, all the fun stuff, is here.There is a very long pregnant pause though so it would have been a bit shorter had Henning responded quicker after Jake's statement that the "Euro is bollocks" Next time...it's Mountains.Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

Henning and Jake return and TABLES are the subject, although there is really very little about tables after all. They are sitting at one though when they record this podcast. On this episode, Henning is quick to point out the flaws in communism and Jake may have rumbled one of Britains most famous psychics. Neither have much to do with tables as such, but have a listen and see if you can figure out how they got there. Suggest a topic for a future episode but not Money, Mountains or Benches as we have those on our list.Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane

And so are Tables. Suggest a topic...and ask a question about it on our social media, or if you ever pass either Jake or Henning out and about.Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

Yes, lights! The chaps are back to discuss...lights! It soon occurs to them there is not much to discuss so this topic is dealt with slickly and efficiently. We discover that one of our hosts lives curtainless and that lights are quite important when performing stand up comedy. Also that there is a profession where someone comes to your home to design your own personal lighting. And there is more discussion on LED lights than in your average podcast. The subject next week might be Mountains...not sure yet...maybe you can suggest a one-word topic on our social media.Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane 

It comes to us all, unless you are a particular species of jellyfish. It's only episode three and it's taken a bit of a dark turn, but honestly, it doesn't get too morbid as the boys discuss life, the afterlife and the before life...and Henning tells us about a trip to notorious suicide hotspot Beachy Head, but not to worry, he isn't thinking of ending it all, he was only out for a joy ride on his cycle. There is a bit of a teaser at the end as Henning starts an anecdote but doesn't finish it. Wonder if he will remember it when we do that episode.Jump on social media to suggest more single word episodes!Follow the lads and suggest topics on Instagram and X @woodwehninthemembrane
