This is dreadful ! Sounds like a parody talk about self obsessed ! Not an original thought between them . Appreciate health issues for DM recently and upmost sympathy but this pod is awful .
I absolutely LOVE listening to you both, you are wonderful good solid human beings and it really comes across. Perhaps you don’t have the time to dedicate to this anymore, the episodes are now very short and inconsistent
it’s such a shame as I could listen all day long to these….
I really miss the authentic purchases and product trials though, food, restaurants, films…. Seems much more mental health advice / support heavy these days, also great but would prefer a bit of everything.
No sorry losing its appeal .When it first started this was an interesting listen recommendations music fashion etc .Now the presenters are becoming really annoying and a bit self obsessed . Won’t bother anymore .
Another English person living in Sydney and I listen to a variety of podcasts every week but this without doubt is my favourite. It’s wholesome. It’s gentle positive and heartfelt. And I just love how happy this couple of sweethearts are together! It’s a welcome relief from the stresses and strains of this ever crazy world we live in! Thank you guys!
Huge welcome back to you both ,your honesty and anxiety for both of you I empathise with you as my son had a brain tumour removed a year ago and just heard he’s in remission . He’s living his life and doing all he has wanted to do. New life of gratitude and living . A wonderful support network and positivity. Has helped. All good wishes to you both great to hear you’re back and laughing .
