Peanuts: New Smithsonian Magazine Article

Posted on June 27, 2025June 28, 2025 by Chris Carra

I’m proud to have once again written the opening article for the legendary Smithsonian Magazine. You’ll find it in the Prologue section of the July/August 2025 issue. This time, the American icon is the world-famous Peanuts comic strip, which celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2025. That’s right, good ol’ Charlie Brown and Snoopy are turning…

Mid(ish) 2025 Update

Posted on May 3, 2025May 9, 2025 by Chris Carra

So far, 2025 has been an excellent year of articles for me. I’ve enjoyed seeing my name in print (and on screens of various sizes) for a selection of excellent publications – with more to come! Perhaps the most notable is my debut article in Men’s Health magazine, published in the May edition. In this…

January 2025 Update!

Posted on January 3, 2025January 21, 2025 by Chris Carra

Happy new year! Over Christmas, I was discussing my website with a fellow writer. Smugly, I told them that I manage to update it quite regularly. That’s when I looked to discover it had actually been over six months since the last update. Awkward… So, welcome to the next installment of ‘What’s happening with Chris’….

Short But Sharp: Men’s Fitness Article

Posted on May 7, 2024 by Chris Carra

I’m pleased to announce that I have once again been published in Men’s Fitness magazine, as the lead article in the May 2024 edition. Earlier in the year, I put myself through an eight-week experiment. I tested whether I could save time by working out like legendary bodybuilder Mike Mentzer. For the uninitiated, Mentzer is…

New Projects 2024!

Posted on January 21, 2024February 12, 2024 by Chris Carra

Is it too late to wish everyone a happy new year? Probably. Although oddly, someone actually wished me a merry Christmas a few days ago and, midway through January, that felt a little strange. Festive, but strange. Anyway, after a quieter end to last year, I am back working on some new projects, which I’ll…

How Do You Become a Firefighter

My Men’s Fitness Article! (How Do You Become a Firefighter?)

Posted on July 10, 2023July 13, 2023 by Chris Carra

How do you become a firefighter? Strangely, for a writer such as myself, I can actually give you a very good insight… In 2021, I decided to apply to become a wholetime firefighter with my local fire and rescue service (wholetime basically means full-time, or not a volunteer). I wrote an article about my experience…

My Bordeaux Travel Experience (Wine Tour!)

Posted on June 9, 2023June 10, 2023 by Chris Carra

At the end of May this year, I decided to travel to Bordeaux, for one main reason: WINE! 🍷 Well, actually I was there for a stag trip to celebrate the upcoming marriage of my good friend Steve. So, if you want to get technical, I was there for Steve and wine. Now, I know…

Surviving Turf Games Winter Festival (2023)!

Posted on March 2, 2023June 10, 2023 by Chris Carra

“Turf Games Winter Festival? Nope.” Of course, I was fooling nobody. Six months later, following my adventures at Ealing Trailfinders Rugby Club at Turf Games Summer Festival, I was off to Farnborough for the Winter Festival in February 2023. Yep, a glutton for punishment. Once again, I’ve decided to share a few of my thoughts…
