How Deep Is Your (Self) Love?

5/4/2021
Love is - as the song goes - all around, but do we have enough left over for us? And is learning to love yourself really the greatest love of all? So many questions when what we actually want to know is when will we stop using corny song titles as terrible puns? More on that later. In this episode, we take a serious look at why self-love is often the hardest to come by and examine our own experiences of the ups and downs of self-esteem. We ask whether you can truly love someone else if you...

When Love Comes Knocking On Your Door

4/14/2021
If you're dating and trying to meet new people, you wouldn't just sit at home, right? Well, it turns out that's exactly what Richard should have done. In this episode, we reveal the truth behind one of the stories we just didn't have time for in previous episodes, starting with how Izzy and Richard very nearly met, years before their first date. We look at how a tidy house and clean towels can be a powerful aphrodisiac and why the bar for successful dating is lower than you might think....

Doughnut go breaking my heart

2/16/2021

Words of love

2/1/2021
In this episode, we ask is it right to catalogue all the dumb and weird things your partner says? Richard has been writing down Izzy's words of love and particularly all her weird and wonderful phrases. Have you ever wondered what a fish-themed Beatles tribute band would sound like? Wonder no more as we imagine it for you. We also look at how the hell anyone thought to turn sand into glass, why one of the world's biggest stars is too hip for her own good and the utter futility of windbreaks...

The joy of sadness

1/18/2021
In the endless pursuit of happiness have we forgotten the value of what it means to feel sadness? Often treated like an emotion that is a nuisance to be got rid of with some self-help wisdom, we are going to tune into some of the great things about this maligned emotion - like how it has inspired great art and music. There's also evidence that it can be motivational and give us better judgement. Izzy turns up at the studio feeling sad (which is convenient) so we make her cry - but only for...

The secret to happiness

1/8/2021
It's an industry that's worth billions and many of us spend our lives trying to find the key to happiness. So why can it be so hard to be happy and what is holding us back? In this episode, we look at our own experiences and find Richard reminiscing about a good bank statement and trashing decluttering gurus. Meanwhile, Izzy reveals her love of a good cry and how the happiness wisdom of an anarchic Scottish avant-garde artist was diminished when he got naked in a cinema. Join us as we try to...

Love in the time of lockdown

12/28/2020
With one in seven couples ending their relationships during lockdown, we look back at the most challenging year of all time and ask, how did we do? What annoying habits have tested our patience and what have we discovered about each other? Izzy gets triggered by a walk and realises that she may be part cat. Richard reveals that his "chillaxing" is about as chill as a certain Conservative MP and comes to terms with his passive-aggressive kitchen moves. Join us as we confront our most annoying...

The 2020 Christmas Special

12/23/2020
In our Christmas edition, we look back at 2020 - is it good riddance or have we managed to get something good out of this year? We suggest Amnesty International get involved in the British retail sector, uncover how Scandinavians enjoy getting drunk in just their underwear and talk about the best and worst Christmas song of all time (hint: it's the same one!).

Whatever 'in love' means

12/5/2020
It started out like a fairytale; a shy young woman meets a handsome prince and falls in love. The story of Charles and Diana turned sour and of course ended in tragedy, but thanks to the Netflix dramatisation of their lives, a new generation is getting a glimpse into their complicated love story. So what can we learn about our own relationships from their story? As our hosts - two people from two different generations - sit down to watch The Crown two very different points of view emerge...

Has music become vanity?

We also discuss serotonin releases due to unexpected guitar entries and a true throwback to the 80s equivalent of Spotify. Join us on this...

Beginnings

11/29/2020
In our first episode, we talk about, what else but, new beginnings and why so often they are so damn difficult. What prevents us from starting something new? Fear of failure or something much deeper from within our psyche? Either way, we managed to overcome it as we're here with our podcast debut. Izzy is the resident Zoomer with an inspiring story of a new beginning but also how hard it is to commit to projects. And we find out not only how Richard thinks he nearly invented the internet,...
