It Makes Me Smile
Ramblings of two friends and a guest about random topics that make us smile.
Episodes
Our guest is Kate, who is a food photographer by day, psychiatrist, and podcaster by night, and mother 24/7.
In our most open, honest, and perhaps intimate episode so far after a long intro about culture, languages, and photography, we are talk about friendship, relationships, being there for each other.

In this episode our guest is Denis, a guy who is only a recent resident in Estonia, who has a very interesting engagement to share. He is also our biggest fan, we were blushing listening to his compliments for which we only paid some little money.
Show notes:
In this lovely episode our guest is lovely Olha from Ukraine. We talk about lovely cats, lovely birds, and lovely hobbies. Also talk a bit about the lovely system of transcribing lovely Ukrainan names from cyrillic to latin alphabet. With other lovely words, lots of lovely content to start this lovely year with!
We are back from a hiatus (or break or whatever) with a brand new episode, and guest: Alexandr who has the voice of an angel! Come along to learn about his cool hobby, what made us smile (there is always something!), or if you simply just missed us (yes, we are talking to you dear 10 regular listeners). We had fun again and hope you will too :)

Our guest is Boris' long-time friend Dennis, a passionate indie art director and co-owner of Tall Trall Games, who also designs and produces board games for fun. We talk about Comic Con in Vilnius, smoking habits and why you shouldn't do it, and trying to add a sad tone to the show but we fail because everything makes us smile. We also give you a glimpse into the (potential) future of this podcast. It is a lovely episode, so come, ...
In this episode we talk to Rodney, our good friend, and former boss, who loves his home country, South Africa. You will also learn of our choices for a new home country, plus after a long hiatus Tool gets a short mention as well. It is a lovely episode, from lovely people to lovely people. Have a listen, it will make you smile :)
Going back in time with Steve Roman (from San Francisco, California!), and some beautiful, but rare wild beasts of Estonia also say hello to the dear listener. An episode you don’t want to miss!
The return of the show with season two, no video (we tried but failed..., maybe next time), awesome guest with a lot of love for ceramics, and last but not least why is Better Call Saul better than Breaking Bad?
Spring and happiness, road rage and mpani worms, inventions of the past and the future, and we also almost (but not quite) solved the climate crisis. An episode full of laughter and annoying eating sounds. Excellent show, just excellent!
More information on topics touched in the show:
A super nice Shaun, lots of music talk (but no Tool), and the first set of rapid fire questions, a section that went much better than we expected. Come, and listen because we know this episode will make you smile :)
About the most beautiful man in the world, some tips for high quality music listening, grandma bras, and other interesting things.
In this episode we welcome our lovely first guest, Lisa, from the sunny South Africa. The three of us talk about 69, death, and sandwiches, plus the sleeping habits of Elon Musk, and last, but not least Tool comes up again. We try to be fun, smart, entertaining, and witty, and we are! So sit down, queue up this episode of It Makes Me Smile, and enjoy the show :)
Tool is back (in the podcast), Tamas is back (in Estonia), the swans never went anywhere, especially not on a (Mad) Road trip to supermarkets. If this doesn’t make sense, listen to the full episode. It won’t help, but it will be fun!
In our longest episode so far we talk a bit about fireworks, a lot about food in Estonia, a bit about wine in Hungary, about fear of height and how that works (well, according to our limited knowledge, and ambitious assumptions), and last but not least, little Tamas' personal encounter with Jesus.
A somewhat more serious topics about whether this is a good world to bring kids to it and we also touch on euthanasia.
But there are still things that make us smile, and make us (well, Boris this time) cry.
You can learn how did the musical taste of little Boris and little Tamas has shaped from the very young age. And also other things but it has been a while since we recorded this episode and only uploading now and don't remember much :D
But it is an excellent episode! Oh, and Boris is drunk...
About a shopping hare, forgotten smile makers, a Russian guy who likes the cold but died in a cell, and interesting things about winter swimming in Estonia. And Tool gets a mention as well of course!!!
In this episode you can hear about some annoying Tool fanboyism from Tamas, we discuss our lack of talent for playing any instruments, and you can learn about Christmas customs in Hungary and soviet, and post-soviet Estonia. As a bonus after this episode you will be enriched with the knowledge about at what early age the presenters couldn't ejaculate yet...
In this episode you will hear about music magazines, Boris' horrible series watching habits, how to find new music, and whether it is better to listen to a whole album or just to a song from it (it is better).
And much more and a little bit less!
