Laurie Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Evening folks, I just wanted to make everyone aware of a new Big Hearts initiative, which kicks off this week in collaboration with some of the Hearts podcasts. We are organising some Zoom sessions, which are open for anyone to join, hosted by a selection of different podcasters. The aim is to get people talking and offer those who may feel a bit isolated, or maybe just miss the football days out, a chance to have a laid back, no pressure, chat with other Hearts fans. It's as simple as that. We might work on the format or some wee ideas here or there as we go, but it's nothing more complicated than a group of likeminded people getting together to chat about football and whatever else might come up. Daniel McIver, who hosts the Perth to Paisley Podcast, and I will be doing the first session tomorrow, at 7pm. You can sign up on the Big Hearts website (link below) and you'll then get sent the details to sign in. Then Rob Borthwick (The Terrace, We Have No Cares) and Liam (This Is My Story) will then be doing one on Friday evening, also at 7pm. http://www.bighearts.org.uk/programmes/talk-o-the-toun/ Let me know if you have any questions or want some more info. We want it to be open to everyone; doesn't necessarily have to be someone who feels they need 'help' or anything, could just be someone feeling a bit fed up with everything going on who misses the banter they get at the football or the pub afterwards.

Laurie Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Enjoyable first session of this on Wednesday, and there's another tonight. I posted a wee video after the first session, just to give a better idea of what this is all about and the fact it's open to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Another session tomorrow night with Rob Borthwick and Joel Sked from A View From The Terrace. Should be a good laugh - if you fancy a chat with the guys about the latest transfer dealings at Tynecastle, the last Hearts game or anything else that might crop up, then sign up via the Big Hearts website: http://www.bighearts.org.uk/programmes/talk-o-the-toun/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that would work, I signed up to the second session and was happy speaking to the folk that were there as it was a nice relaxed atmosphere, but I wouldn't have got involved if it was being recorded and replayed. Anyone that's not sure whether to sign up, I'd say give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point Alex makes is a good one. Although these aren't professional therapy sessions or anything, we want people to feel comfortable to relax and chat - be that about Hearts or anything else. It might make a few a little uncomfortable if it was being recorded and would be publicly available afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doesn't quite fit with the ethos of this initiative though. Best way to experience it is to join one of the sessions 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 It sounds like the session with Rob and Joel went really well last night! There's another session tomorrow evening at 7pm. Adam from Perth to Paisley and Liam from This Is My Story will be hosting, with a guest appearance from a Hearts Scottish Cup winner as well.... 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyphoonJambo Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I enjoyed it last night,some guys are brilliant at remembering names and dates maybe I've just drowned too many brain cells. I highly recommend dialing in folks. No pressure to chat if you don't want but a good wee chat with like minded jambos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This is My Story Podcast Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 http://www.bighearts.org.uk/programmes/talk-o-the-toun/ Tonights Talk O’The Toun session sees us joined with cup winning hero Andy Webster. Feel free to sign up and join in. The first few sessions have been great, just a chilled out laugh and discussion amongst fellow jambos. John Colquhoun joined us on Friday and was great value, here’s hoping webby is the same. We are also toying with the idea of watch alongs when the games are live on the TV. Do you guys think that would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s great to hear. Just looking at ways to engage with people that are missing the football, the pre match post match routines etx. Anything to try break the boredom and loneliness of lockdown.

This is My Story Podcast Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Great fun again! Rob Borthwick hosting Thursday call, get involved if you can and want. These are great opportunities for us all to get together and talk nonsense about Hearts in a safe environment. I know I’ve been really struggling missing the “pub” chat aspect of football. These calls are the closest thing I’ve found to that. Great fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weonly151 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Last nights call was great. Its so good to just switch off from everything for 90 mins and just have a proper chat about Hearts. I'm finding lockdown really tough as I'm on Furlough and don't really see much people from one day to the next so these calls are a way of social interaction.
