Wait, You Do What?

Behind the seemingly 'normal' lives of the people around us, there are often weird and wonderful double lives that we know nothing about.

This podcast brings those stories out of the suburbs and into the light, as we explore the sometimes wacky, sometimes confusing, and often-heartwarming hobbies people have, and why they got interested in the first place.

The Queensland-based teacher who took up curling ... the suburban mum who by day is an Executive Assistant, and on weekends shoots pistols ... or the surgeon who saves lives then risks his own going basejumping ... these are just a few of the stories you'll hear, and maybe even be inspired by.

Life is short, after all, so why not do the thing that you're curious about?

Hosted by Mel Loy, a woman who knows the weird and wonderful hobby well! Aside from her 'day job' running a communications agency, Mel also has picked up a bunch of hobbies along the way, like crocheting, learning Spanish, ballet classes, and teaching group fitness and yoga.

Mel Loy

Mel is a Brisbane-based communications professional and business owner, who just loves telling stories.

She also loves trying new things and picking up new hobbies, whether it's crocheting, yoga, dancing, Spanish language, graphic design, or anything in between.

When she's not busy running her business, she's probably at the gym teaching cycle, Step, HIIT, strength, yoga, or core classes; dreaming up potential costume ideas for her cat; planning her next travel adventure; trudging the pavement as she tries to convince herself she's a runner; or going to any kind of musical theatre or comedy show with friends.
