Unexpected Respite

Unexpected Respite

Wrong. Wrong. And wrong again.

You'd think that I'd have learned by now. I've had fifty-three years to practice, after all.

But no.

Still, I make the mistake of thinking that to make things 'better' and 'easier', I must look outside of myself.

Go far afield. Spend a ton of money and wrap my mum and me up in cashmere rugs, then sit alongside Rose and Kathy Bates in first class on the Titanic.

Way off, Liz. Not even close.

This week's podcast update is brought to you with love, tenderness and gratitude. And a few tears.

We wanted to share three things that happened to us in the past few weeks. Small serenities that brought unexpected comfort and respite while we attempt to navigate the imminent loss of my lovely mum.

Thank you for allowing us this safe space to share the intimate details of this challenging time in our lives. You are wonderful.

Yours, 

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.
