Welcome to Voice Notes Suck

Where conversations feel different

This is where unfiltered chats meet sharp takes.

​

Nominated for Best Innovative Technology at The UK Audio and Radio Awards (The ARIAs), Voice Notes Suck is a unique podcast by Jay & Dave—two creators navigating the mess, magic, and mechanics of modern life.

 

We dive into central themes like digital community, AI, and the weird truths of being human, exploring both the positive and negative aspects of the stuff everyone’s thinking but not always saying.

​

Though our name is a playful nod, we actually record our podcast entirely in the form of raw, 90-second voice notes.

 

It is a thoughtful, unscripted, and completely innovative way to share big ideas, small observations, and the occasional gym shoes. Let's get going!
