Up, Down & BUST...

Up, Down & BUST...

Author: Liz Deacle and Brian Deacle August 1, 2022 Duration: 1:28:52

It was all going so well. We had just driven from England to Greece in our little red car, had the time of our lives in Greece, and were now ready to turn around and have more adventures in Europe.

And then it happened. The car broke down. Blew up. Bang. Kaput. Two miles outside of Calais.

Of course, we were devastated. Gutted. Panicked. 

How would we continue our trip? How would we get back to Italy in time for our six-week housesit that we had committed to in Tuscany?

And more importantly...HOW MUCH would the repairs on our little red love bug investment cost us??

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.
