This week on Dyer Straits, we kick things off with an update from returning emailer Rod — and good news! He’s finally told his girlfriend about the mistress who once locked him in a chastity cage. Even better? His girlfriend’s now taken over the role. Growth comes in many forms.

Next up, an excruciatingly awkward Bluetooth disaster from a listener on holiday with friends — the sort of story that makes you want to disappear into the nearest sun lounger.

And to round things off, we dive into a thoughtful advice question about clashing parenting styles: strict vs relaxed, and what to do when a relationship hits a parenting fault line.

A perfect blend of chaos, cringe, and proper heart — classic Dyer Straits.
