It's been quite a year for us. 

If you have followed the podcast for a while, you will know that we have suffered two big losses. Both Liz's mum and dad passed within 6 months of each other.

And before you know it, it's Christmas time. Which is always the hardest.

Determined to celebrate Christmas in a way that we have never done before, in a country the four of us love, we have decided to leave New Zealand to spend a month-long-once-in-a-lifetime family break in...?

Did you know we now have a SECRET podcast? Behind The Drama is a fabulous member-only podcast where Brian and I take you deeper into the more personal stories about life as a married, entrepreneurial couple.

A couple who juggle travel, family, business, mental health and marriage.

A couple who have two adult kids that still live at home.

But that's okay.

Because they don't mind being slaves.

Honest.

If you are of a certain age who dreams of throwing conventional life into the air and swapping it for optimism, yes-ness, adventure, and a ton of much-needed knicker-wetting humour, then this is the podcast for you - It is real, it is honest, it is tough, and it is JUST what you need.

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.
