Good news! we're now available on both Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Just search for 'StroongeCast' in the app.
In this episode we tell you about our Christmas happenings, the gifts, the food and the amazing StroongeCast t-shirts created by as she says, 'Our number 1 fan!'
Thanks to Kirsten's sister for these t-shirts, they're comfortable and warm and as soon as we unwrapped them, we loved them immediately.

Welcome to episode 14 of StroongeCast with Andre and Kirsten Louis.
Good news! we're now available on Apple Podcasts. Just search for 'StroongeCast' in the Podcasts app.
In this episode we discuss arguments, how best to avoid feeling terrible the next day by resolving a bad argument before bed, and some of the ways in which we think we've grown as a couple by hashing things out in a sensible fashion.
As we often say to our children when they're young, 'Use your words!'
Seriously though, it can really help.
Here's the 'How To Make Your Marriage Work' clip mentioned in the episode. Sadly this cannot be viewed in the UK: https://youtu.be/MWcvQx6HiJs

Welcome to episode 13 of StroongeCast with Andre and Kirsten Louis.
In this episode we talk about our Christmas traditions, what we do for Christmas day (and what we did as children) and also hope you'll share your holiday traditions with us if you don't celebrate Christmas in particular. Is there a time of year that you just look forward to so much, you start thinking about it months before-hand? We'd love to hear from you.

Welcome to episode 11 of StroongeCast with Andre and Kirsten Louis.
In this episode we talk about our school memories, the trips, the food, the technology, the experiences we had and how they differ from each other.
Andre attended a specialist boarding school for 8 years, where as Kirsten attended an all-girl school. As a result, their memories are very different from one another and there are few common or shared experiences.
From Kirsten's trip to Russia and having to open her suspicious-looking suitcase in the airport which was taped together, to Andre's experience of being left stranded in Reading train station for hours, and having to get a cab to school, this episode is quite a long one.

Welcome to episode 10 of StroongeCast with Andre and Kirsten Louis.
In this episode we discuss the idea behind 'Pink Jobs' and 'Blue Jobs' with regards their so-called 'traditional' roles in the household.
Blue jobs are traditionally male-centric and Pink jobs are traditionally female-centric in-nature.
Being modern twenty-first-century humans we don't really believe in these designations, but we thought it would be interesting to discuss them anyway.
We're curious what you think about them yourselves.
How do you designate jobs in your house?
If you're living alone ,are all jobs pink and blue?
If you live in a same-sex household, are all jobs one colour?
Of course these aren't at all meant to be taken seriously and we're not here to cause offence, merely to have a little bit of fun with a quite outdated topic.

Welcome to episode 9 of StroongeCast with Andre and Kirsten Louis.
In this episode we hear from Kirsten about her struggles around anxiety and tiredness, how she copes on a daily basis, and the steps she takes to make it through.
We wanted to raise awareness around anxiety and also chronic fatigue, and to let those who may be suffering in silence know they are not alone. Talking to someone you trust and that cares for you, can help.
Seeking therapy can also be a viable solution and does not make you weak.

Welcome to episode 7 of StroongeCast with Andre, Kirsten, Jake and Alice Louis.
In this episode we thought we'd bring the kids in for a bit of a chat.
As a blind dad, Andre's had the question several times of 'what's it like to be guided by your son? What do you get up to?'
Jake is very much like his dad, and Alice is very much like her mum, so we say that each of them is a 'Mini Me.'
It works out very well, as we all have someone we can go places with and do fun activities with.
Of course we do go places together as a family, but more often than not, Jake is out with Andre and Alice is out with Kirsten, when such things do arise.
We'd like to do a follow-up episode with Jake and Alice soon, so if you have any questions for them, please let us know.

Welcome to episode 6 of StroongeCast with Andre and Kirsten Louis.
In this episode, Kirsten has a collection of "Icks" - annoying habits or traits that would be dealbreakers in a romantic partner.
From chewing with their mouth open, to wearing trousers too low, the list is extensive, unusual and in-places very silly such as 'Not wearing a seat-belt.'.

Welcome to episode 5 of StroongeCast with Andre and Kirsten Louis.
In this episode, Kirsten has a collection of husband and wife-related trivia to read to us, and Andre will react to them. He hasn't been prepped ahead of time, so doesn't know what's coming.
Many of these statements are incredibly bizarre and would certainly make for some unusual talking-points around the dinner-table with your partner.
Please tell us your thoughts, and which ones made you laugh, scoff or just say 'What the actual?' we'd love to know.

If you'd also like to have your say, please get in touch.
We'd like to send our Thanks to Richard and Pascale, Tara and Scott and Amy and Sam for sending in their 'How You Met Your Other' stories for us to talk about. They were all extremely special and we also offer our congratulations to Amy and Sam for their happy news.

In this episode, we discuss how the website Gumtree changed our lives and brought us together, how people can be good and bad sighted guides, perception of relationships, having things in common or not, and how children learn to understand the needs of their parents from a young age.
Gumtree for our American listeners could be considered to be a bit like your Craigs list perhaps.

In this episode, we answer comments left by you the listeners, and also discuss our relationship, how long we've been together, more on tactility, family acceptance and sleeping on different sides of the bed. -
Welcome to episode 1 of StroongeCast, a husband and wife team consisting of Andre and Kirsten Louis, who live in London.
We know there are so many podcasts, so why another one?
Well, partly because we can but partly because we hope to be interesting and thoughtful, if at all possible.
In this first episode we discuss one annoying Tiktok trend of asking your significant other to 'peel an orange' and what this actually means.
We also discuss hugging, tactility and our joy of listening to other podcasts.
