After our original episode, Ep 6, ELF class conspiracies, we received a correction. Charlotte and I may be having a bit of fun in theses episodes but to be absolutely clear, all credit for the invention of ELEF classes goes to Kara and Randy. We are extremely embarrassed by our original jest that this was a myth. Kieran and I do not take any credit at all for inventing these types of classes or the naming on them We are so grateful that Kara reached out in such a kind and open manner. You are an absolute star and we really do hope that one day we'll be able to have a good chat about teaching swing dance classes.

Part 1 of our series “The Future of Swing” where Charlotte and Jethro chat with experts to figure out what the swing dance community and events will look like in 5, 10, 50 years. Ever heard a little event called the International Lindy Hop Championships? Well Charlotte and Jethro somehow ended up interviewing the founder, CEO and organizer of this event Tena Morales-Armstrong! “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it”, so to start this series we dive into the revival of the 90s and 2000s to learn about the good and bad and if we can use this knowledge when we look to the future. ILHC has a fantastic online program this year, so we strongly recommend you sign up and join in with the party!https://www.ilhc.com/ Latché Swinghttp://www.latcheswing.fr/ You can support us on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/user?u=31754096

Welcome back everyone! This is exciting! You are listening to the very first episode of our new podcast SWING WAFFLE! Yep! Untangling the Mess Around was going so well with so much community engagement we decided to launch a new one!

In this week's episode we're talking about the greatest rivalry! Bands Vs DJs! Which is better and why!

Happy World Lindy Hop Day everyone! This week Charlotte and Jethro discuss some of the “people” who were the biggest influences in Lindy Hop and to ourselves. We also take a tangent and complain about the Frankie Manning Foundation and open up a can of worms thinking, 'Should we even be celebrating individuals?'

Welcome to Untangling the Mess Around with your hosts with Charlotte & Jethro. In this week's podcast we're bringing you A tale of Two Exchanges! Christchurch Swing Fest and Hullabaloo were running the same weekend and I think that it's safe to say that they could not have gone more differently

Welcome to Untangling the Mess around! It's already been a fortnight since we last checked in and so much has changed! Well, not really but we're hopeful.

Welcome to Untangling the Mess Around! You favourite fortnightly podcast with Jethro and Charlotte where we try to untangle this messy swing business. And speaking of business, this week is all about business as Jet gives you a behind the scenes of running a swing school.

Welcome back to Untangling the Mess-a-Round; Jet is in quarantine, Perth is in lock down so why not record a podcast?? In this episode Jet & Char quarrel about the quarantine they're (both) having. They've also got some quick tips on how to improve your lindy when you don't have a practice partner and/or (topically) you're stuck at home. Stay safe and enjoy!

For Jet's last in person with Charlotte podcast (at least for a while) they're live streaming their movie review of Swan Song as well as other movies that influenced the scene or themselves. Pop that popcorn and settle in for the Untangling Movie review.

In this week's episode Jethro and Charlotte argue about the value and importance of triple steps. Are they really all they're cracked up to be or have their importance been blown waaaay out of proportion? With a special appearance by Peter & Alice, get ready to get nerdy on triples.

Our first episode of season 2!! What makes it our second season?! Nothing at all!! We've got new sound bytes, embarrassing stories and our usual ridiculous banter. Seriously, this episode is worth listening to just for the new sounds.
