ELECTRICIANS PODCAST
A weekly, unvarnished chat for and by working UK electricians, covering on-site stories, industry politics, and trade-specific banter.
An informal, often live-streamed, roundtable discussion for UK electricians that feels like a conversation with colleagues after a long day. It tackles everything from career progression and on-site safety debates to direct critiques of industry bodies like the NICEIC. The tone is raw, full of trade-specific banter, and directly engages with the live YouTube audience.
“Its raw, unpolished, and often confrontational style stands out. Unlike more formal trade podcasts, it directly engages with live chat and isn't afraid to dive into industry politics from a working contractor's unfiltered perspective.”

The conversation flows organically between serious industry critique and light-hearted banter.
The format is a loose, conversational roundtable, often with co-hosts (Mark Allison, Ricky Howell) and a guest.
