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 travelling for free (again) by housesitting. This time 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 week’s podcast is a behind-the-scenes chat with Liz and her daughter, Tessa.
Tessa (19) is a regular guest on the podcast. Since her last visit, she has flown the nest to start a new life alone in the capital city of New Zealand, Wellington.
As is often the case with life, things don’t always turn out as we expect them to. We don’t feel the way we anticipate. Life throws us challenges, and although they are necessary for us to grow, new experiences aren’t always easy or pleasant.
And that’s why we wanted to share this conversation.
I asked Tessa to come to the microphone and share what life has been like moving away and living alone for the first time.
We know that many of you listening to this podcast have kids, and we hope by sharing what Tessa feels (and her experiences), you will resonate, and it will help in some small way.
Sit back, pour yourself something nice and join this intimate conversation between mother and daughter.

Is there anything worse than a fraud? Someone who poses to be someone they aren’t??
In this week’s episode, Liz and Bri talk about family reunions, tell-tales, defending titles, overstepping the limit at work and being presented with a half-naked chocolate Italian.
My, my. I hope you’re ready…

Liz and Brian are off on a five-week holiday. Housesitting in New Zealand. But before they reveal where they are going, they want to tell you all about the loneliest place in America, the twee-est town in China, and the smelliest place in Australia. Oh, and it’s only fair you should hear about Dave the deserter – some bloke they knew ages ago who was a friend-not-friend. The one with purple hair.
Sit back, pour yourself something nice and get ready to chuckle!

Imagine living in a house with no walls.
Where everything was upside down and shaped like a lav. Where spiders and snakes swam in puddles of rain under your bed.
In this week’s episode, we are talking houses. Not just shapes and sizes but the weird goings-on that takes place behind closed doors—or glass walls. Or mud roofs.
Crikey.
Get ready to hear all about Liz and Brian’s failed attempt to find a holiday destination that ticked both their boxes, their need for separation and why a banging experience in the French Alpes left Brian feeling VERY insecure…

Is there anything more attractive than seeing a man swinging from a ceiling bar with one hand, wearing only his underpants?
Or anything more impressive than seeing some bloke smash a wooden toilet seat to smithereens with his head?
No. Absolutely not. I agree.
In this week’s It’s a Drama Podcast episode, you will learn what Bri is doing to stay young, celebrate Liz getting herself up off the floor un-aided, and discover the secret to WHY, compared to every other country in the world, the people of Japan manage to put off popping their clogs until far later in life.
Enjoy!
