It's Scary But it's Done

It's Scary But it's Done

Author: Liz Deacle and Brian Deacle October 31, 2022 Duration: 47:05

This week's episode is brought to you from Chiang Mai in Thailand. As this will be the last episode that we do while on this six-month trip, we thought that we'd make it an extra special episode for you.

We have decided to do/say/talk about/share a few things that make us both feel rather uncomfortable. Especially me. But. You will love it. We know you will. And that makes the uncomfortableness all ok.

So sit back, enjoy the show and let us wow you with what we are about to share!

PS: Can we just say a HUGE thank you! thank you for being here with us for the past six months, for sharing our highs and lows and for supporting us along the way. You are wonderful. Thank you x

Remember that you can email us at any time. We love it when people reach out. Why not say hi and let us know what you thought of this week's show? - I'll wait for you!  liz@itsadrama.com

 Looking for the BEST Travel Credit Card?

 If you are off on your travels and need to transfer money internationally or are just looking for a great travel debit card to pay for things, Transfer wise is the BEST!

It's the only card Bri will use (and believe me when I say...he has done his research!)👇

Click HERE To receive a FREE FEE transfer on your first $900 

The Wise Card is amazing for travel and as a budgeting card when at home. The app is great as it knows what type of purchases you are making: Fuel, food etc.. so you can view at the end of the month how much you have spent. The exchange rates are good as money is sent from your own bank account. There are NO hidden charges that banks tend to charge when you transfer money while abroad. The Wise Card really has been our best friend, and we highly recommend setting up a Wise account for travelling overseas. It's fabulous! 👍

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.
