<![CDATA[Glitch & Ghoul]]>

Two mates, one ghost-hunting habit. Dan and Jamie test the kit, swap the stories and try to work out what's real, what's broken tech, and what's just a kettle.

Glitch & Ghoul is a laid-back paranormal podcast from the UK. Jamie's been on more than fifteen investigations, from abandoned hospitals to haunted pubs. Dan's the sceptic with the tri-field meter. Together we put ghost-hunting gear to the test — REM pods, K2 meters, EVP recorders, thermal cameras — and score it out of 100, so you know what's worth your money and what's just for show.

Expect real investigation stories, guests from the paranormal world (including an actual psychic medium), a bit of gaming, and a very serious Biscuit of the Week.

In the Captain's Quarter, Dan goes solo for honest, off-script episodes about life away from the ghosts — starting with quitting vaping.

We're not experts. Just curious. Pull up a chair.

Dan and Jamie share their own Phasmophobia stories - from huddling in the doorway throwing crucifixes, to a voice-mod prank that went a bit too well, to Jamie living in the van for six hours. We compare the game's ghost hunting kit to the real gear we use on investigations, talk spirit boxes, the Estes method and real Ouija boards, and finish with the big question... would we actually survive a real hunt?

Fifteen days ago I finally put it down.

In this first Captain's Quarter episode, Dan goes solo to talk honestly about quitting vaping: how the habit started at uni, why vaping was harder to quit than smoking ever was, and what the first two weeks have really been like — the phantom arm, the brain fog, the hunger, and some seriously paranormal patch-induced nightmares.

Plus what's actually working: making a plan, patches, lozenges, fresh air, and why you should avoid lollies (get your head out of the gutter). And the money — with the new UK vape tax, it adds up fast.

If you're thinking about quitting, or you're on day one right now, this one's for you.

Chapters
0:00 I've quit
1:25 Smoking vs vaping: the all-you-can-eat buffet
2:53 How it started: uni, DJing and 40 a day
6:55 The last two years: why I stopped
8:36 What the first two weeks were really like
11:11 What's working for me
15:19 How I feel now: smell and taste in 4K
16:31 The money I'm saving (and the new vape tax)
18:17 My advice for day one

I'm not a doctor — speak to your GP or pharmacist for support with quitting. NHS Better Health has free help at nhs.uk/better-health/quit-smoking.

Are you quitting too? Tell me how it's going in the comments — I'd love to hear what's working for you. Check-in episode at day 30.
