A Month in Thailand? What's to Dread?

A Month in Thailand? What's to Dread?

When we booked our month-long trip to Thailand back in May, it seemed like a grand idea. Get away. Change of scenery. Leave the kids.

And now, when it's almost time to leave, we're having second thoughts.

Or Liz is.

In this week's episode, Liz and Brian chat about the realities of going overseas when one of you doesn't quite feel up to it. Fear, dread, excitement. Fear again. We're feeling the lot. 

We also discuss the effect of probably the best birthday present we have ever given our daughter and Liz's simple fix to one of her nagging microstresses.

Enjoy!

You might think from the title It's a Drama Podcast that you're in for some heavy theatrics, but it's actually the opposite. Hosted by world traveller and best-selling comedy author Liz Deacle alongside her husband Brian, this is a space for the gloriously unfiltered and often hilarious conversations that happen between two people sharing a life and a suitcase. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table, where the topics roam freely from travel mishaps and cultural observations to the everyday dramas of family, food, and navigating the second half of life with a sense of humor. Liz and Brian’s candid dynamic is the heart of the podcast, offering a blend of laughter and genuine honesty that makes the personal feel universal. You’ll find yourself in the middle of stories that are both frank and funny, often accompanied by the clink of a wine glass and the admission that adulthood isn't always a dignified affair. It’s less about destination and more about the messy, joyful, and relatable journey, making this a uniquely comforting listen for anyone who appreciates real conversation served with a generous side of comedy.
