Welcome to the Life by Misadventure Podcast (May Contain Strong Opinions and Mild Regret)

Welcome to the Life by Misadventure Podcast, the show where common sense and controversy collide.

Join your host, David Brown, every so often as he dives into the topics people think about but rarely say out loud. From the absurd to the infuriating, the hilarious to the downright baffling, no subject is off-limits.

Most of the time, he will bring in friends, thinkers, professionals (and the occasional troublemaker) to chat with. Other times, it’s just him, armed with a microphone and a questionable filter.

Expect unfiltered opinions, a dash of mischief, and the occasional moment where he'll wonder if he's just tanked his career.

Will he get cancelled? Possibly. Will you enjoy it? Probably.

Subscribe now and let’s see how long this lasts.

Crazy Uncle Dave:

Foreign. Welcome to my crazy Uncle Dave's podcast. I'm your crazy Uncle Dave and well, this is my podcast.

I started this show because everybody has a crazy Uncle Dave that sort of shows up on holidays and says really inappropriate things and, you know, is, is quite old fashioned and you can't take him anywhere and it's like, oh, that's just Uncle Dave. That's pretty much me.

So I wanted to start a show where I could dig into topics, say inappropriate things, and say all those things that people have in their head but are afraid to say out loud because they're worried that they may get cancelled or they may get in trouble at work.

So I'm going to take that burden for you and I'm going to address topics that I see online or hear in the news or maybe over here in a cafe or maybe it's just that stuff that I talk about with my friends that, you know, generally people don't talk about in public. So expect the unexpected. The show comes out basically once a week, although I will put shows out just as soon as I can.

And yeah, let's see where it goes from here. Maybe I'll get canceled, maybe I won't. That's part of the fun.

So subscribe to the channel, get updates when new episodes come out and see if there's anything that you fancy listening to. And if you like it, please tell other people about it. And let's see if we can get the show growing. Anyway, we'll see you on the other side. Bye.

About the Podcast

Life by Misadventure
Real stories about misadventure, resilience and the moments that shape who we become.
Life by Misadventure is an independent interview podcast hosted by David Brown, featuring honest conversations with people whose lives have taken unexpected turns.

Each episode centres on one guest and one life story. The conversations explore the moments, decisions, setbacks and strange turns that shaped them, from illness and loss to reinvention, resilience, identity, work, family and personal change.

The show is not just about what happened. It is about what happened next. How did that moment change the way they saw themselves? How did it affect their choices, relationships, confidence, humour, work, family or sense of purpose? What did they carry from it? What did they leave behind?

The format is simple: thoughtful long-form interviews, led by curiosity rather than sensationalism. Guests are given time to tell their story properly, without being rushed towards a neat lesson, tidy ending or polished version of events.

Some stories are dramatic. Some are quiet. Some are funny, painful, surprising or strange. What connects them is the mark they leave.

This is a podcast for listeners who enjoy real personal stories, reflective conversation and the messy truth of being human. It is for people navigating change in their own lives, people interested in lived experience, and anyone who knows that ordinary lives often contain extraordinary stories.

Listen if you are drawn to stories about resilience, identity, loss, recovery, reinvention and the moments people carry with them.

Life by Misadventure is about the things that happen to us, the people we become because of them, and the stories we only understand properly with time.
