Hot, sweaty MESS

Hot, sweaty MESS

Author: Liz Deacle and Brian Deacle May 1, 2023 Duration: 59:40

Fess up.

Hot, sweaty MESS.

Time to confess.

When does it happen? When do you turn into a dithering, hot, sweaty, prickly fuss-bag who shakes and quivers because she has misplaced her sunglasses? Even though it's pitch black outside. And freezing cold. And winter.

In this week's hilarious episode, Liz shares about her recent disastrous trip to the capital of New Zealand to see her daughter, Brian talks dirty jeans, and they both let you in on a couple of secret confessions... 

PLUS! Liz reads another snippet from her soon-to-released book (not long now, hoping for mid-May). Sit back, get ready to giggle and...

Enjoy!

We LOVE Housesitting. Want to Try it too? 

If you have been following this podcast for a while, then you will know that last year we spent six months in Europe and Asia. While we were there, we did a lot of housesitting. We are constantly asked how we did this and if we can share the website that we used. So here it is:

The initial 'looking part'  is free. You can oggle all of the beautiful houses around the world that are waiting for YOU to look after them. Take a sneak peek here! (As I say, looking is completely free, so gander to your heart's content).

Then, if you are serious about using Housesitting as a tool to travel the world for free (as we do), you can use my exclusive discount code to save yourself 20% by Clicking here.

Still not sure about paying for a Housesitting membership? Remember that the cost of a yearly membership (approx $80 using the discount code above) will be paid back (and more) on the first housesitting night. It really is that simple!

 


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.
