Infinite Prattle Podcast!
Hello, I am Stephen, and I prattle! Potentially, infinitely so...[some have said]...
On the show I chat about EVERYTHING that intrigues me, such as life, the world, people as well as memories, things personal to me, things I like and all directly into your ears!
Along the way I am occasionally joined by some interesting guests who share their stories and 'Prattle!' along with me.
The podcast is completely Unscripted & Unedited and ideal for a casual listen to take you away from daily life or to enjoy on a walk or commute!

6.21 /// Ranking Every Alien [Alien Day Special]
Alien Day only comes once a year, so I leaned all the way in and ranked every Alien film I count as part of the saga: Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, Prometheus, Alien Covenant and Alien Romulus. Starting with the 4/26 clue for LV-4...
6.20 /// Mighty Boots Engaged...

6.19 /// Childhood Movie Fears...
You know that one scene you still can’t shake, even though you’ve seen the film a dozen times? I sit down with no plan, hit record, and somehow land on the most honest topic I could have picked: the movie moments that scared me as a kid, and so...
6.18 /// Head Clearing Cruise, New Pages & planned focus...
Sixty quid for 24 hours of cruise ship internet and I still couldn’t upload a thing, sorry about that! Annoying at the time, but it accidentally handed me the best part of the trip: a proper break from being constantly online, constantly availa...
6.17 /// Bachelor Bathroom Oddities

6.16 /// The Voices That Made Sport Magical
Some sports moments live in your head because of what happened. Others live there because of who told you it was happening. I’m chasing that second kind of memory, the voices that made darts feel like a Saturday night ritual and Formula One fee...
6.15 /// Has Lego Gone Too High Tech?
A Lego brick with a battery, sensors and a speaker sounds like something from the future, yet it is already turning up in real sets. I dig into the Lego Smart Brick and the strange push and pull it creates: Lego says “screen free play”, but the...
6.14 /// My House Ate My Wallet (& Is Coming Back For Seconds)
A house can be a haven—and a hungry beast. I [Stephen, host of Infinite Prattle] pulls back the curtain on eight years of upgrades, mishaps and small victories, showing how a “good deal” becomes a long game of rewires, replumbs, landscaping, an...
6.13 /// Weekend living like a Millionaire...
A train to London, an £80 tux, and a message that everything would be “taken care of.” That’s how a quiet weekend turned into a tour through the rarefied world of UK lottery winners—Somerset House ice shows, a closed‑door dinner at the Tower of...
6.12 /// Why I Chose Honest, Low-Fi YouTube Over Clickbait

Thinking of trading the pump for a plug? I take you inside a candid decision to move from petrol to electric, weighing the numbers, the nerves, and the day-to-day realities. A low-pressure visit to a BYD showroom surprised my wife and I, with t...
6.10 /// "The BIG game"
Big games aren’t supposed to feel like holidays—until one does. I dive straight into what makes the Super Bowl more than a final: the clear path from two conferences to one champion, the Vince Lombardi legacy, and the simple rules that unlock t...
6.09 /// Free. Your. Mind. (How Imagination Becomes A Daily Lifeline)
Ever feel like your brain won’t sit still? That restless energy might be the best tool you’re not using. I, Stephen, open the door to a lifetime of imagination! From bedroom-wide toy battles and homemade radio shows to adult rituals that make r...
6.08 /// Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
The monitor blinks, the gratitude flows, and then I says the quiet worry out loud: my hair is thinning, and it’s starting to change how I see myself. What follows is a candid, funny, and surprisingly tender journey through style, identity, and ...
6.07 /// The Day ROBIN WILLIAMS May Have Dodged Me...
The platform has a way of turning ordinary minutes into stories you tell for years. Join me on a whistle-stop tour of celebrity encounters from the UK railways: a voice that sounded exactly like Patrick Stewart’s in the crush of a busy platform...
6.06 /// A male perspective on IVF, Heartbreak & Renewed Hope...
The room went quiet before anyone spoke, and that silence said everything. After nearly eight years of IVF—postcode lotteries, NHS backlogs, COVID cancellations, and a thousand tiny appointments—our long‑awaited positive test gave way to a 12‑w...
6.05 /// I Love Books, So Why Can’t I Finish One?
A new year deserves a gentler start, so we swap a heavy story for a book‑soaked ramble about attention, joy and the strange guilt that creeps in when we sit down to read. I open the door to my shelves—Alien art books, Douglas Adams box sets, a ...
6.04 /// Roasties, Lego, And The Devil’s Parsnip
The holidays can be both soft and sharp: twinkly lights and full plates on one side, memories of long shifts and missed days off on the other. We lean into that tension and make something honest from it—quiet routines, home cooking, and small r...
6.03 // The Xennial hybrid...
Ever felt too analogue for millennials and too online for Gen X? That strange middle ground has a name—Xennial—and we dig into what it actually feels like to grow up swapping cassettes, then end up editing videos on a phone. We open with some l...
6.02 /// Six Pounds For A Latte? My Wallet Needs Oxygen...
A festive day out at a grand old house should feel simple: lights, stories, a bit of wonder. Instead, a £35 hour and a £6 machine-made latte opened a bigger conversation about value, habit, and where we draw the line. I share the joy of the vis...
