  • Tooooooo many adverts!

    Really enjoy this podcast, but I don’t think I’ve listened to one with as many adverts as this one. Takes ages to get going, then you get interrupted just as it gets going. More Jo and Zoe please, less ads please.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

97: DIG IN: Understanding Anxiety with Owen O'Kane
Q: What can people do when anxiety starts to take over their daily life?
Start with small, manageable steps toward the discomfort, avoid excessive reassurance-seeking, and gradually engage with activities you fear; over time this builds new neural patterns and reduces the tendency to catastrophize.
100: DIG IN: Zoe’s ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ Journey
Q: Michelle's question about buying couples therapy vouchers as a wedding present, and whether that could be misinterpreted.
Jo and Zoe advise caution, suggesting it may be perceived negatively as a wedding gift, and recommend instead offering support if needed in the future, or presenting the idea as a flexible option rather than a gift tied to the wedding.
89: DIG IN: Liz Earle’s Guide to Feeling Stronger, Fitter and Happier
Q: What age should we start using retinol, if at all?
Liz advises caution for younger skin, recommending gentler, entry-level use for older skin and avoiding aggressive formulations that cause redness or flaking; overall, retinol can be beneficial for aging skin when introduced slowly and with care.
64: Bad Bunny, Bird Watching and the Great Muppet Debate
Q: What do you do in your garden, Sean? Do you socialize a lot?
Sean mentions he enjoys gardening mostly as a solitary activity but also engages with friends and visitors occasionally.
64: Bad Bunny, Bird Watching and the Great Muppet Debate
Q: How is line learning? Do you have a way of doing it?
