On the 8th June 2017, the UK will go to the election booths for a ‘snap’ General Election, called by Prime Minister Theresa May. The issues here are big: we care about voter behaviour, pollsters being wrong and how negative campaigning affects the ballot box. So we did what we usually do when fired up about something - we got together to talk it out.

Welcome back to the Salon!

This episode was recorded one year and one day after the murder of George Floyd.  We spend some time reflecting on this (especially thinking about this brilliant piece from Philip McKenzie on Media Village) and we talk about what progress has been made in the past year.  While we do not dive deeply into the specifics of what happened, we recognise that this may be triggering for some people.  Our love goes out to all listeners - especially those who may find this content difficult.

- Enjoy!

The Salon is Open!  It's May tomorrow, so Louise & Neil throw open the HYP Salon doors to have a darned good catch up on what's been happening in the hot 30seconds since the last episode!

Neil's in-between contracts, Louise reveals that she's taller than a rabbit and we get into subjects as wanderingly diverse as:

We also reveal the results of our Feel Good Music Prescription self challenge - check it out here: http://hyp4-playlist.helloyoupodcast.com.

So - come on it.  The Salon is open!

It being 30-seconds-slash-a-month-ago that we last recorded, here we are again. So hello you! Welcome to the salon ...

Louise has done her homework so we talk about aliefs and beliefs; we wind our way to writing, rejections and finding your own voice. Neil drops an absolute gem "You are exactly where you need to be in your life's journey."

SHINY THING ALERT! We can share Louise's latest poetry collaboration. We talk about it towards the end of the show and you can access Louise's short video in the shownotes.

It's that time again - so hello, you! We invite you into our salon ... 

Positively effervescent and garrulously giggly, Louise & Neil embrace the mild hysteria of a Thursday evening. We fall into a reverie about squirrels and so it goes on from there.

Well hello, you! How's your 2021 so far?

Hello You Podcast returns and Neil & Louise chat for 40 minutes or so as if they'd never left off podcasting. They do, however, acknowledge some seismic shifts in the world since they last recorded: namely COVID-19, the 46th President of the United States of America and how it seems like pretty much everyone is now getting excited about poetry (yay!)
