Welcome to the One Hundred & Ninety-Sixth Edition of The Chronicles of Podcast, These are The Chronicles of Ruena
In this hilarious conversation Ruena takes us through her journey from performing in Nuneaton at just 13 years old to touring the world with Delilah Bon. We dive deep into her creative process, the inspiration behind her lyrics, the story of how the name Ruena came to be, and her ambition to one day perform at 2000 Trees Festival. We also explore the importance of keeping full creative control, her experience crafting her debut EP Why Heal When You Can Repress, how the recording process shaped the final sound, and the reception the EP has received so far. Ruena opens up about why she had to re-release her track Kamikaze due to Spotify and shares what the future holds for her music and her artistry.
Also this week, we begin on a heartfelt note as we pay tribute to Charlton Athletic fan Norman Barker, who sadly passed away. After honouring a true supporter, the chaos returns in full force as we uncover not one but two bizarre world championships you never knew existed: the Christmas Tree Throwing Championship and the World Massage Championships. We also dive into the strange discovery of a genetically mutated toad in Canada and a fresh batch of hilarious commentary blunders. Jamie catches everyone up on his week as he battles ongoing neck issues, restarts Stranger Things from the beginning and continues his epic mission of watching every Summerslam ever made as he finally reaches Summerslam 2024. Meanwhile, Tom fully embraces his time off work with a trip to Winter Wonderland in London, a wander around the Windsor Lights in Saville Gardens and his usual updates on how his sports teams have fared this week alongside the latest from his Fantasy NFL League journey.
As always, we deliver all your favourite regular segments. Callum returns with brand new Teachings including a thought-provoking idea about sleeping. Tom’s Journal provides another round of the funniest internet finds from the past week.
