how i hobby

Pete Falconer & Kayla Lean

Hi! We're Kayla and Pete - two pals with so many hobbies, and not enough time!


We started this podcast to talk about all of our hobbies, and also talk to people we know about their really cool hobbies.


Can your hobby be having hobbies? We are living proof!


We'll also be covering off the existential stuff. Like:


  • What is a hobby?
  • Can you ever have too many hobbies?
  • What’s the best way to introduce your hobby to your parents?


Tune in and join us. We’ll be having a blast!
