  • GBA 259 Zoe And Gary
    In GBA 259 we get even better acquainted with Zoe and Gary. They aren't the only people who are part of this conversation, one of their daughters and my partner Jen both make significant contributions. Zoe and Gary talk about how parenthood has impacted their domestic lives, their personal lives and their working lives, both in positive and negative ways. We discuss their different reactions to being parents, what it's like taking toddlers and babies to Live Action Role Playing events and the trials, tribulations, triumphs, traumas, mistakes and joys of parenting. The context of the conversation says as much about bringing up two very young children as anything we say. Don't worry, I edited out the vomiting!

  • GBA 258 Felix Trench
    In GBA 258 we get better acquainted with Felix Trench. He talks about Wooden Overcoats, Radioman, acting, writing, growing up in Brussels and studying at a European School, how he feels about the term expat, and what it was like being in the UK when terrorist attacks were taking place in the city he grew up in.
    This conversation was recorded before the referendum, I'm sure we would have had a very different conversation if we recorded now, brexit and other news events that have happened recently add interesting and poignant connotations to the conversation.
