What a Drip

What a Drip

Author: Liz Deacle and Brian Deacle October 5, 2023 Duration: 40:25

This week's episode is brought to you from the lovely and very gorgeous art deco city of Napier in New Zealand, where Liz and Bri are housesitting for five weeks in a rambling old villa perched high on a lofty hill.

Ah...Life is perfect.

Me and Bri, living like a Lord and Lady Muck in our ole kiwi manor house.

What's not to love about that?

Well...get yourself comfy, and we'll tell you...

This Ole Kiwi House

I don't know anyone who doesn't see a picture in a glossy house magazine of a rambling old villa and romanticize about living in it. 

I know I do. I see it all so perfectly.

There's me, dressed in my floral frock, washing my dishes in the stone-fired, enamelled porcelain Belfast sink. Inhaling the wafts of wisteria that creep over the pretty glass paned windows...

And there's Bri. 

Dripping snot from his left nostril.

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.
