  • How to do your ironing in one go

    Listening to these interesting & entertaining radio plays is the best way to do mundane chores such as the one listed in the title. Polishing is also recommended, as is a long drive . Cooking can work too if the frying onions don’t cover the sound.

    I did used to mow on my sit on tractor while listening. Until my phone got eaten up by said mower…
