Running on Empty. The Man needs help

The weight is shifting. The winds are turning.

Mary is on her way...

This is episode 200!!! And to celebrate, we are beginning a new season...

This is the first episode in a season of what we might call the couple diaries. Or the marriage diaries. Or just... It's a Drama.

At the end of this podcast, Brian and I share a personal diary entry (without the other one knowing).

Let us know your thoughts; we'd love to hear your feedback.

Kia Kaha,

Liz and Brian xx

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.
