Wet Behind The Ears

Wet Behind The Ears

Author: Liz Deacle and Brian Deacle October 21, 2023 Duration: 1:12:33

Looking back, I was so wet behind the ears I'm surprised I didn't drown. 

Two years ago, I announced to the world that I would be writing, publishing and marketing my first-ever book with no clue what lay ahead. Ahh...isn't ignorance bliss... 

But as challenging as it has been, writing and publishing my book is STILL the best thing I have ever done. 

In this week's special edition podcast, Brian and I are celebrating something we have been working on for months: the AUDIOBOOK of the Travel Bog Diaries (narrated by me and produced by Brian) is now ready and available to purchase!

To mark this special occasion, Brian is steering the It's a Drama Podcast ship as Liz takes you behind the scenes and into the life of a first-time author and audiobook narrator by answering personal questions that close friends and long-time listeners have kindly submitted.

Questions include:

Did writing this book and making the audiobook affect your marriage?

What was the hardest part of the audiobook process?

How did the kids feel about being so exposed in the book?

Was making this book anything like you expected?

Enjoy!

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.
