In this episode I am joined by Mrs ChilliChump! I give behind-the-scenes insights into my chilli growing and YouTube channel.

We discuss our dog Barney's quirky habits, like his love of pumpkin seeds and morning cuddles.

I share some interesting chilli articles, including a man who ate 135 Carolina Reapers to break a world record and the Sriracha shortage causing price gouging.

Caroline asks me questions from listeners, covering topics like my most popular YouTube videos, pot sizes for growing chillies, dealing with pests, and freeze drying chillies.

I also provide advice for starting a YouTube channel. We talk about some of the most rewarding interactions I've had with viewers.
