Banging on the Ceiling

Banging on the Ceiling

Author: Liz Deacle and Brian Deacle August 29, 2023 Duration: 53:10

Imagine living in a house with no walls.

Where everything was upside down and shaped like a lav. Where spiders and snakes swam in puddles of rain under your bed.

In this week's episode, we are talking houses. Not just shapes and sizes but the weird goings-on that takes place behind closed doors—or glass walls. Or mud roofs.

Crikey.

Get ready to hear all about Liz and Brian's failed attempt to find a holiday destination that ticked both their boxes, their need for separation and why a banging experience in the French Alpes left Brian feeling VERY insecure...

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.
