LTO is back for Season 4! Everybody's Changing and Susie & Esther don't feel the same... At the end of the last season, they thought, we Can't Stop Now! If only they don't Bend & Break, with Perfect Symmetry, they could create Somewhere Only We Know for a very special first episode of the new season. Featuring Jesse Quin from the band, KEANE! Jesse is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, producer and the founder of Old Jet Arts Centre in Suffolk.

We stand at the end of Season 3 (for an ovation, right?!) This week's episode is all about being your best self and whatever that means to you - one gal's seaswim is another gal's sticky toffee pudding and a good book. Esther & Susie discuss themselves (for a change...) and Susie reveals some worrying gaps in her knowledge of how bodies actually work. To help them in their quest for best self-dom, S & E enlist the advice of their special guest - the iridescent Rosie Green. Rosie is a journalist, beauty editor, author, broadcaster and she has spent the last 20 years writing about beauty, fashion, spas and health and interviewing and styling major Hollywood celebrities from Sarah Jessica Parker to Cameron Diaz. She regularly writes for Red Magazine, The Telegraph, The Times, Vogue and Elle, and up until recently, had her own column in the Daily Mail’s You Magazine. She’s basically Carrie Bradshaw. She is also a regular guest presenter on This Morning. After her 26 year relationship with her husband ended, without warning, Rosie took her pain and turned it into a best selling book How To Heal A Broken Heart. A book that has helped many people going through separations feel less alone and more positive about their future. We talk to Rosie about how she landed her first break at Vogue, working for Trinny and Susannah, the skincare she would recommend and her passion for authentic communication. Rosie glows inside and out and it was a delight to chat to here and learn some fabulous beauty tips. And we all want to know how her David Gandy interview went now... The sketch this week is musical! And a lot of fun. And you'll hear the final ever (probably) You Bash. We'll be back on May 2nd for Season 4 with new chats, new sketches and more marvellous guests! Can't wait. Ta ra for now.

Esther and Susie go Back to the Future and get high on 80s nostalgia in this week's episode of LTO. There are no Careless Whispers as these Uptown Girls try Holding Back the Years, and Relax with memories of the decade that gave us Roland Rat, Wacaday and Agadoo. Let's travel back in time Together In Electric Dreams. Lovely jubbly. The gals are joined this week by a very special guest. Singer songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music legend Andrew Roachford MBE @roachfordmusic scored his first hit in the 80s with his band, Roachford and the timeless classic, Cuddly Toy. He hasn't stopped producing incredible music and released his most recent solo album in December 2023. Andrew also sings with Mike and the Mechanics. He received his MBE in 2019 for services to music. He chatted to E&S about music as communication; how he composes; and what it felt like to hang out at Buckingham Palace, and to perform in front of thousands at Wembley. It's a heartfelt, open and honest conversation, with plenty of giggles and a surprise guest appearance from his lovely mum's phone! It's treat to be in Andrew's company. Look out for live dates coming up later this year - roachford.co.uk With a sketch that will take you back, and a social media roundup of the most responses we've ever had (even though none of our listeners are old enough to remember the 80s...), this 'Nostalgia' special is Atomic and we hope you'll say I've Had The Time of My Life once you've heard it and a 'lorra lorra laughs' Competition: If you've read these shownotes share the episode on social media (handles below!) and tag us in, and send your postal address to limitedtimepodcast@gmail.com - we'll send you a prize!

In this week's episode Esther & Susie showcase talents even they didn't know they had. And they probably don't. Let's just say, Eminem does NOT need to worry... They discuss talent v success, and if baby is born with it or if it's maybe-learnt. Again, Eminem does not need to worry! Thankfully someone with a tangible talent is their special guest this week. Namely, musician Sam Sweeney. Sam has been described as 'one of the defining English fiddle players of his generation' (Mark Radcliffe) and this was cemented when he won Musician of the Year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award in 2015 - his fourth time of being nominated. He is a veteran of folk juggernauts, Bellowhead, former and inaugural Artistic Director of the National Youth Folk Ensemble, a founder member of ground-breaking trio Leveret as well as a passionate and experienced educator. He has collaborated, recorded and performed with The Full English, Eliza Carthy, Martin Carthy, Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings, Fay Hield and Emily Portman as well as creating his own theatre production Made In The Great War. Sam’s first two albums, The Unfinished Violin (Island Records) and Unearth Repeat (Hudson Records) were received with international acclaim. Sam is currently touring his third solo album, Escape That - tour dates. Sam's chat with the gals is wide-ranging and hugely entertaining. He tells them about joining the biggest folk band in the world aged 18, and how it feels to rock (folk) out at the Royal Albert Hall. He talks about his experiences in movies - Disney's live action 'Little Mermaid', and Richard Curtis's 'About Time'. There are some super questions from our wonderful listeners, and, as an extra treat, Sam performs live on the podcast! LTO's first live musical performance and it is magical. (Sam is available to tour when you need him, Arcade Fire - just putting that out into the universe!) With sketches, live music, surprising rapping and a joyful interview, this is an episode to savour. We hope you enjoy it!

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes discussions about death and grief. This week Susie & Esther turn their attention to mortality. They discuss attitudes to death and mourning, and spend considerable time imagining the spectacular nature of their own funerals. Let's hope the Royal Albert Hall is available on the day... The special guest is SARAH GWONYOMA. You may know Sarah from her Instagram platform, @WhatSarahReadNext, where she reviews books, interviews authors and generally brings a lot of joy. The catalyst for this platform were some unimaginably painful life changing events. In 2017, whilst living in Fiji with her husband and young son, Sarah, having just suffered a twin miscarriage, lost her brother and her husband both unexpectedly, just months apart. Follow this up with a global pandemic and this led to Sarah reevaluating her life and her work in International Development. Now Sarah is back in the UK and living by the coast with her son, and What Sarah Read Next is an inspiring community for book lovers. Sarah is also working on her own book and has just launched her book club WHAT WE READ NEXT in association with the Hastings Bookshop The gals talk to Sarah about her resilience and positivity, how she has taken care of herself and her son through these experiences and the plans she has for her community. She's an inspiring woman and it's an honour to welcome her to LTO. With Sarah's energy, plus sketches, laughter and the promise of a sea swim, this episode is far from bleak. We hope you enjoy it.

The radio accompanies us through our lives. Helping to define our eras; dragging us out of bed on a Monday morning; helping us through long drives; and becoming almost family! We grow up with our favourite radio DJs, following them as they move stations. And we jump around the dial depending on our mood. This week’s episode is dedicated to all of this. Susie and Esther recreate DESERT ISLAND DISCS, subtly re-titled, SANDY ISLAND RECORDS... And the sketch is an homage to the radio. See if you can name the radio stations referenced! The special guest this week is a Radio Classic himself. The legendary BBC Radio 1 and Radio 6 Music DJ, STEVE LAMACQ. Steve wanted to be a DJ from a very young age and didn’t imagine that it could actually happen! After a spell refereeing Under-12s football matches, journalism beckoned! He talks Esther and Susie through his early career and the dedication that has led to his position as the most respected DJ on radio. He also discusses his love of a certain radio drama! Steve is as fascinating as you’d imagine and his interview is a treat to listen to.

Cue the fireworks! That bit between Christmas and New Year is a time for munching through all the festive chocs while watching films you've seen 100 times before; considering jogging and deciding against it; and, the new tradition, listening to your favourite podcast - LIMITED TIME ONLY! Esther and Susie are stuffed to the gills on liquorice and turkey but thankfully haven't lost the ability to natter. They discuss resolutions, regifting and cheese rolling; provide a public service involving Auld Lang Syne (thanks to a surprise Scots visitor); and there's a rendition of Gaudete by the 16th Century's answer to the Von Trapp family...cassocks at the ready. The gals are joined by not one but TWO special guests. The guests are in the same room although they've never been seen in the same room at the same time! Work that out once you've heard them! CHRIS CLARKSON is an actor, singer, presenter, magician and all-round superstar. You name it, he's done it with gusto. Chris is currently in his 21st panto season - his eighth playing the coveted role of Dame. Chris chatted to Susie & Esther from his dressing room at the New Theatre Royal, Lincoln where he's appearing as Dame Ginger Spice in Aladdin. Have a look at the LTO social media accounts to see the full fabulousness of Chris / Ginger in costume! Have a very Happy New Year! LTO will be back in January with more chat, comedy sketches and interviews with interesting people. See you then!

It's Chriiiiiiiistmaaaaaas! And it's the inaugural LTO Christmas Special! Featuring a Christmas chat; a Christmas quiz; FOUR Christmas sketches; two giddy hosts; one amazing guest; and a partridge in a pear tree. Joining Esther and Susie for the Christmas Special is actress and comedian, Janice Connolly. Janice is a familiar face on television as Holy Mary in Phoenix Nights with Peter Kay; Rosie Colton in BBC 1's Doctors; and as her comedy alter ego, Mrs Barbara Nice who had the Britain's Got Talent judges in stitches in 2019. Janice has just stepped down from her role as Artistic Director of Women & Theatre - the award-winning Birmingham theatre company she co-founded. Janice chats to S&E about the company's pioneering work over the last 40 years; how her career in comedy started; what it's like appearing in BGT; and she generously guest stars as the Ghost of Christmas Past in the Dickens' themed sketches! Thank you so much, Janice! It's a bumper episode packed full of Christmas surprises. And if you fancy playing a game while listening, you could drink every time you hear the word 'sherry' - just try and keep up with Esther! Susie & Esther wish you a very Happy Christmas full of music, mirth and...sherry. (There's one to get you started!) xx Links to explore: Women & Theatre Sweet Theatre - great for Christmas pressies!

What's the point? is a common refrain in Susie & Esther's households. They explain the various reasons why. And they're probably even weirder than you think. During the course of the conversation, Susie learns something. Everyday's a school day when chatting to Esther. They both learn lots while speaking to their first INTERNATIONAL GUEST! Australia-based British casting director, producer and all round marvel, Lisa Campbell Lisa was an actress in an international touring production of 'An Inspector Calls' with the National Theatre when she met her future husband, David Campbell at a party in Sydney. It was love at first sight. Lisa spent just 3 weeks back in the UK after the tour had finished before relocating Down Under to begin her new life. And she hasn't looked back! Lisa explains how saying 'yes' to opportunities she'd never imagined has brought fulfilment and happiness to her life. And what it's like casting a South Korean production of Moulin Rouge over Zoom. Lady Gaga would be impressed. Lisa is funny, fascinating and a force for good within the entertainment industry. It's a treat to listen to her. With comedy sketches and news of the first LTO Live Online on Thursday 30 November, it's a packed episode which is very much to the point.

It's nearly winter and the hedgehogs are heading into hibernation, while the humans are heading into overdrive. In Episode 2 of Season Three, Esther and Susie explore the threat of burning out - a hot topic at the moment (see what we did there?!) This week's special guest is Hannah Miller - a Strengths-Based Coach who returns to LTO for the second time! (Susie and Esther are thrilled they didn't scare Hannah off in the first series!) Hannah's company is Sidekick which offers coaching, courses and community - 'the roadmap you need to build for the life you're looking for'. One of Hannah's courses is The Purpose Pursuit for people who feel stuck, at a crossroads, or who are navigating a change in their life. And who's not felt like that at some point? (every day?!) Hannah speaks so articulately about what Burnout and Boreout look like for different people. Hannah is a joy to listen and talk to, and you're guaranteed to feel better about everything once you've heard this interview. Links to Hannah's website and Instagram here: Hannah Miller - Sidekick The Purpose Pursuit @hellohannahmiller - Instagram With comedy sketches, chat and the inspirational Hannah, it's an episode to stave off burnout.

It's a change of seasons of LTO and the first episode is all about...changing seasons (how on earth did they come up with that?!) Esther & Susie chat stationary, darkness and self-sabotage in a chat that is as silly as you'd expect. With a fair bit of honesty chucked in for good measure. You may well be inspired to buy a planner and floss your teeth. And possibly do a press-up. In a twist of fate that 12 year old Susie would never have believed possible, the special guest for Episode 1 is Chesney Hawkes, who looks pretty much the same as he did in 1991. Chesney is the consummate guest - funny, inspiring with cracking rockstar anecdotes. He also has apparently endless patience. We still don't know where the balloons came from... As well as talking about Chesney's big break in Buddy's Song (including a terrifying audition in front of his idol, Pete Townshend) and how he came to sing the Nik Kershaw-penned The One and Only, Chesney tells Susie & Esther how he deals with stress, and about the joys of gigging with his son. Jesus Christ Superstar coming down from heaven on a Yamaha also features. 90s kids, that one's for you. Links from Chesney's interview: Chesney's website: chesneyhawkes.com Nik Kershaw's website: nikkershaw.net 'Panto' the Pilot episode: Panto on YouTube The episode is topped off with a YouBash; a comedy sketch set in a forest (it's important to get outside at this time of year!); and the voice of the third LTO host.

As if to remind Susie & Esther why they called the podcast Limited Time Only, the final episode of the season has come around already. And to reinforce the point, the episode is all about the 1990s - a marvellous decade which began just a few years ago, right?! 32 years ago to be precise. Excuse us while we cry into our Hooch. All is not lost, however, as Susie & Esther discover solace as well as bittersweetness in remembering their youth. And are they actually still 16 in a parallel universe? Probably not. But who wants to do their GCSEs again anyway?! The final guest of Season 2 is pop royalty - H from the band, Steps! (Esther & Susie are still pinching themselves). Celebrating their 25th Anniversary this year, Steps are in the midst of a national tour; have just released another brand new single, Hard2Forget; and next month release their Platinum Collection album packed with their greatest hits from 1997 to 2022. It's still all go for the band whose music is the soundtrack to our 90s youth. As well as all this, H also presents his own weekly radio show on BBC Wales and is the father to 6 year old twins - the hardest job of all! H is an absolute delight - funny, generous and insightful. He speaks candidly about his experiences of growing up as a young gay man and how his same-sex pairing with Matt Evers in Dancing on Ice in 2020 was ground (and barrier) breaking. He tells us about the joy of being in Steps and how the band has always provided an inclusive, safe space for everyone. We hear about his hidden talents; his parenting tips; and who he thinks would win in a fight - S Club 7 or Steps?! H is everything you'd hope and more. A most wonderful guest. Enjoy! There's a return visit to the Sparks Joy gals, Barbara & Pamela as they take a flutter on some 90s clutter; a YouBash; gorgeous audience responses to the question, 'What are your happiest memories from the 90s?'; and...drum roll please...the winner of the inaugural LTO Audience Award is announced! Susie & Esther have had a blast producing LTO Season 2. Thank you so much for listening.

We all have mental health, and this week Susie & Esther chat about their good and bad head days and what they do to nurture their noggins. Stillness helps, as does moving. But Esther's husband Ian puts them both to shame with a weekly 70 mile round trip on his bike (or has he just gone to the cinema?). Sharing top tips tête à tête, the gals go a bit French, breathe excessively and discover that to-do lists really shouldn't be 100 items long. Their guest this week is the inspirational Matt Campion, Creative Director of award-winning, Spirit Studios. Spirit produces original TV and digital content including programmes like Trigger Happy TV and The Stand Up Sketch Show; and a raft of podcasts including Jamie Laing's Private Parts. Spirit's mission is to create content ‘Powered by Spirit’ that impacts audiences through entertainment and storytelling, in order to drive change for the better. A major part of this mission is #IAMWHOLE - an award-winning mental health campaign founded by Spirit Studios and Jordan Stephens (Rizzle Kicks) aimed at young people encouraging them to speak out, seek help and change the stats. Esther & Susie talk to Matt about how Spirit started; his own mental health journey; and about Matt's 2020 TED Talk titled 'The panic attack that started a global mental health campaign' #IAMWHOLE. It's a wide-ranging discussion full of humour and heart and which covers subjects that may be upsetting. TW // panic attacks; alcoholism; suicide; childhood trauma. We return to Sue's Salon (listen to Season 1, episode 1 for the first installment); meet the voice inside your head, aka Doreen; and are interrupted with a YouBash. And to top it all off, our lovely listeners (that's YOU!) have been writing in to tell Susie & Esther how you nurture your noggins. Here's hoping that Limited Time Only is doing wonders for everyone's. For a free, 6 minute mindfulness meditation, check out our bonus episode from Season 1.

(Sung to the tune of Move it, Move it) "They like to move it, move it. If they can have a biscuit" In Episode 5 of Season 2, Susie & Esther talk about physical fitness while staying completely stationary. It's safer that way. They admit to many failings of will power, stamina and general being-botheredness when it comes to keeping fit. And they make some bold promises to do fitness better. Or indeed, at all. Their guest this week is Philly Excell - movement professional, mum of 3 and an absolute delight. Philly runs Philly Fitness from her home in Henley, offering classes for women for toning, strength, increased flexibility and relieving stress. She tells Esther & Susie about how fitness has moved away from an obsession with losing weight to a desire to feel good and move freely without injury; her passion for helping new mums regain strength and confidence in their bodies; and how exercise shouldn't be a punishment, just moving your body is enough. Philly's relaxed, fun and effective workouts are now available to everyone through her online service Philly Fitness on Demand. She's funny, reassuring and inspiring - a wonderful guest. Check her out on Instagram @PhillyFitnessHenley for daily inspiration and fitness tips. With 2 sketches this week, a YouBash and the inaugural round of a quiz you'll never hear again, episode 5 is shaping up nicely. Just like Susie & Esther's underarms. And push up, 2, 3, 4. Biscuit time. Thank you for listening. Please share this episode with someone you think would like it too!

We're already half way through Season 2 - where does the time go?! And how did we get here? This week, Susie & Esther consider these existential questions along with the prospect of ripping everything up and starting again. Attractive? Terrifying? Both? Rather like Susie & Esther themselves. And the other 7.7 billion people on the planet. Cor blimey. The gals discuss the moments in their lives when they have taken a leap and started afresh; procrastination and why it may be fear of success not failure that's stopping you; and the true meaning of a deadline (you won't look at the word in the same way again...). Their fabulous guest this week is Kelly Brown who really has ripped it up and started again. In 2019, Kelly left her job as Head of the Drama Department in a secondary school in Birmingham and relocated with her husband, chef Nigel Brown, and their two daughters to the beautiful Carlyon Bay, St Austell, Cornwall. Here they opened their restaurant, Edie's Kitchen. They opened just before the first lockdown and had to think fast and creatively in order to survive. And survive they did, and truly thrive. Edie's Kitchen is a Tripadvisor Traveller's Choice which means it is in the top 10% of restaurants reviewed on Tripadviser worldwide - that is remarkable. Kelly spoke to Esther & Susie about the challenges of running a restaurant (in and out of lockdown); what it's like to relocate your teenage daughter to a small town 250 miles away from her mates in her GCSE year; and about her own journey from a humble waitress to owning a restaurant by the sea, that is loved by tourists and locals alike. Kelly is so passionate about what she does, it's a joy to hear her story. And you'll want to book a table at Edie's Kitchen immediately... With sketches, a YouBash, an unusual quiz (as if it could be anything else) and a round-up of the brilliant audience responses to the question of the week on social media, episode 4 is sounding ripper, mate!

This week's episode is dedicated to the programmes and films that have accompanied Susie & Esther, and the lovely LTO listeners, through their lives. The good, the bad and the ugly of TV shows and films (sorry in advance, Richard Curtis). The gals are delighted to be joined by actress, Sarah Smart. Hugely talented & versatile, Sarah's CV reads like a copy of the Radio Times and she has worked with the very best in the business. She talked to Esther & Susie about how her career started, and the roles she has most cherished. Sarah is fascinating, very funny and a treat to listen to. It wouldn't be LTO without sketches and a YouBash. And this week, there's plenty of competition for the audience trophy as the question 'What is your favourite programme?' drew loads of responses. It all leads Susie to conclude that she needs to watch more telly. And do less tidying. A motto for life perhaps. Thank you for listening.

This week Susie & Esther shove their inhibitions aside, and chat jiggly bits. Contrary to all expectations, they are both ageing and this has brought with it a whole host of unexpected (and unwanted) developments on the body side of things. As they grow wiser, they grow less able to make any sudden movements without fear of injury. Despite their shortening muscles and receding gums, Esther & Susie are determined to big up their bad selves, and yours. The special guest for episode 2 is the lovely Fran Puddick. Fran was diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 31 after suffering debilitating periods for 15 years. She was told she was in early-menopause and that she would not be able to have children. Fran talks frankly and with great humour and positivity about her diagnosis and how it affected her; her journey with IVF; the effects of menopause and what the partner of someone experiencing it can do to help. Fran's conversation is candid and real, with so much to smile and laugh about. A top guest indeed! There are two sketches for the price of one this week, a YouBash and a rather erudite quiz. I say! To top it all off are the first audience stories of the season in response to 'Tell us something you love about your body and why'. All the listeners who responded are in with a chance of winning the coveted trophy (it's pretty snazzy) for the best audience story of the season...you've gotta be in it to win it! Look out on social media for the next questions. Thank you for listening. Please share this episode with someone you think would like it too!

We're back! Season 2 of Limited Time Only here we go... In the first episode of the new season, Susie & Esther discuss being a 'Jack(eline) of all trades' and the new-fangled phenomenon of 'multi-hyphenating'. Susie faces the fact that she can no longer realistically train to be a doctor or live in every country in the world. And Esther wonders whether she should be a mogul or a steam-train. One way or the other they're going to hyphen themselves up to a sufficient level for world domination. On social media at least. The first special guest of this season is the genuinely multi-hyphenating and very lovely, Sally Wood. Sally is a business owner - theatre & film producer -screenwriter - charity trustee - open water swimmer - mother of twins, and is married to Ronnie Wood of Rolling Stones fame. She chats to Esther & Susie about making things happen, facing her fears - both in and out of the English Channel - and having Willy Wonka's chocolate factory hidden under her house. Sally is a funny, insightful and inspiring guest with some great tips for taking ownership of your life and going for it. Check out Sally's company, Sweet Theatre for chocolate with drama (it's delicious!) With comedy sketches, a YouBash and a familiar little voice to keep Susie & Esther on track, episode 1 kicks the new season off with more than 3 hyphens. We hope you enjoy it!
