Canada. You did it

Canada. You did it

Author: Liz Deacle and Brian Deacle March 14, 2026 Duration: 34:04

We're bringing you this podcast episode from a frozen lake in the Canadian Rockies. British Columbia, Canada.

Something happened last week that floored us. Literally. Something that we've waited 30 years to see.

We love you. Thank you for your gorgeous support.

If you would like to show us some love, you can do so by leaving us a review wherever you listen to this podcast. 
It would also be wonderful if you shared this episode with a friend.

Kia Kaha, Liz and Brian x

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.
