Coffee and toothpaste

To celebrate the new moon in Taurus, Coffee and toothpaste delves into the world of astrology with International astrologer, counsellor and author; Donna Taylor.

We talk about Donna’s career in astrology, birth charts, mercury retrograde and what’s to expect with Uranus in Taurus for the first time since the 1930's! We also talk about traits, characteristics and compatibility of certain signs. SO, If you’re a **Virgo, Gemini, Pieces, Cancer or Scorpio**: listen up (We have a good gossip about you!).

Do you even have a podcast if you haven't made an episode about tinder?

I speak to sex blogger Lauren Kiley about all the terrible things men (and women!) do on tinder. We discuss the dos and don't of creating a profile, conversation and going on dates. 

We give our thoughts on using pets as a prop in pictures, starting a conversation with an emoji and share stories of some of our worst dates; all in the name of a lame app. 

***No men were hurt in the making of this episode; they were just offended***

This is an episode to comfort yourself when you feel like you’re losing your mind.

‘The narratives we tell ourselves’ is an episode made up of angsty diary entries, ‘stupid shit guys say’ and stuff you wish you’d said at the time. This is me being a one man band on over drive. The show also features a ten minute life update explaining the two month hiatus and all the goss in my life.

In this episode I get up at 5:30am to go on a run with the director and creator of the new social enterprise LDM (Let's Do More).

In this interview, Loran discusses why he created LDM, why he wants to be a role model, raise aspirations and break stereotypes amongst young black males, the work he does to make a difference in Leeds and the personal challenges he has overcome to make it happen.

**Let's do more!**

This episode contains strong language and some uncomfortable moments.

In this crackly and contrived episode, Beth shares outtakes from an interview with someone she used to really like. Whilst in LA Beth met a guy, they hung out a few times then she flew home. Two weeks later the pair booked flights to Paris, Amsterdam and Rome. Despite the 5 thousand miles between them, the on-off friendship lingered for another nine months and two holidays.This episode interview took place seven months after communication ended.

This was recorded on a dictaphone over whatsapp messenger the quality is a little rough. But the amazing Luke Marley has painstakingly improved the audio and is also my official unofficial tech guy!
