What is Palaeontology (or Paleontology for you Americans)? How do we find fossils today and what do they help with? Did giant insects exist on earth, and if so, how? All of these questions and many more are answered in this week’s episode of Genuine Chit-Chat!
Mike speaks with his Palaeontologist friend Wayne, where they also discuss dinosaurs, mass extinction events, some of the work Wayne has done at university (including going to sites discovering dinosaur remains with some flesh still attached) about evolutionary life in general and much more, so it’s one not to miss!
Wayne is also an accomplished author and has released two fiction books, which delve into events surrounding 19th century London; A Light In The Mist, which follows a young Dr Jekyll while the second novel (Scarcrow) has a different protagonist surrounding similar events from another perspective.
Wayne wants to spread a message of hope, telling everyone & anyone to follow their calling, despite what others may say, as you can change the world, if you have the dedication to do so, which were the inspiration of said novels.

This week, Mike speaks with Wayne Telford, a palaeontologist who has written two novels surrounding 19th century London; A Light In The Mist, which follows a young Dr Jekyll while the second novel (Scarcrow) has a different protagonist surrounding similar events from another perspective.
Although they discuss Wayne’s books, the creative process and what made Wayne decide to create these fantastic works, they delve deep into individualism and the idea of good vs evil, as well as life’s purpose, morality, the wealth divide, societal issues and so much more, so if you aren’t interested in the books, this is a great chat about the human condition (and we’re sure you’ll be more intrigued by the books after the chat anyway)!
Wayne wants to spread a message of hope, telling everyone & anyone to follow their calling, despite what others may say, as you can change the world, if you have the dedication to do so.

This week, Mike talks to Josh & Rhys about how society should deal with transgender identity in regards to gender pronouns and how far we should go, bringing up a few odd examples such as a 52 year old man claiming to identify as a young girl. Leading on from this, also brings discussion on the progressive-left & alt-right and how people can’t seem to meet in the middle with issues, caused by stubbornness & toxic tribalism, as well as societal pressures that many of us experience and how that can affect us.
Last week was part 2 of Mike’s chat with Jonny, where they talk Parks & Recreation, Star Wars, football (soccer), movies & the cinema, paradoxes, contactless card payments, The Office (UK & US) and too many other things to count!

This week brings the next episode of the mini-series “Science But Simple”, where Mike & Josh talk about tides and how they’re affected by the moon, how the moon and orbits work, how the sun works/why it’s so hot, terminal velocity and more!
The first episode of “Science But Simple” is episode #6 of the podcast and is all about how light bulbs work, energy & enthalpy.
“Science But Simple” is mostly about explaining the fundamentals of things we see in our everyday lives in a way that is easy for anyone to understand.
Josh has a degree in Marine Biology, as well as many other scientific merits, including the pursuit of a career in teaching. He’s also a mate of Mike’s who still talks to him at length even after 12 years of knowing him (which is an achievement in itself)!
