Hollow + Substantial

Hollow has been to see some improvised Jane Austen, and Substantial is embarking on another winter reading project. Meanwhile, we don’t know much about art, but we certainly like talking about it - maybe there should be a warning to any art lovers that we are NOT experts! There’s a Lost and Found about rediscovering child-like pleasures, and some wisdom on good housekeeping.

We're already at Episode 4! Substantial is on catch-up TV and Hollow is watching something brand new. Plus, as this episode was recorded during COP26 there's a lot of chat about how any of us can participate in big global topics. Not only that, but there's a story about a poached egg and a Bounty, a Lost and Found about the benefits of ageing and some wisdom to take you into the week. Plus,  you can participate by supporting the show. Thanks for listening!

Episode 3 of this season is the first of our listener generated topics, and we’re plunging straight in with some civilised discourse on the importance of disagreeing well. Both Fionas have had their eyes caught by some island-based telly, there’s a Lost and Found (with a visual aid!) on prioritising your time and some wisdom on encouraging your artistic tribe and remembering your PIN.  It’s a long episode - there was so much to agree on!

Episode 2 of this season will either fly or plummet. It’s a weighty topic, but with a little bit of body art chat, some books to read, a Lost and Found about streamlining your subscriptions and some wisdom for the week, it’s jam-packed with all your favourite bits. Plus, the weighty chat is pretty interesting and leads to a volte-face from Substantial.

It’s been a while but the Fionas are back and there’s a lot to talk about. After an introduction to the new season, there are a couple recommendations of what to watch this autumn, a conversation about the ups and downs of turning a year older plus some wisdom about writing cards and dealing with fruit flies. Plus, there’s a whole new segment - Lost and Found - all about what we’re ditching and what we’re keeping in these strange days.

It’s the final episode of season 4 and the chat is all future-focussed. After some book chat and a film review, the conversation wanders away. With some hope about emotion and some wisdom on dealing with your government paperwork and planning your post-lockdown world, it’s everything you need for now.

And if you stick around, you might find a little bonus chat about the solar system...

Feisty women and comedy duos...that’s just for starters. The main course this week is a vegetarian option. There are definitions, ethical arguments, historical vegetarians and a couple of recipe suggestions. For dessert there’s hope from International Women’s Day, and then we’re off to the toilet. Honestly, that’s where we end up!
