Limited Time Only - Chat, Comedy & Interviews

‘When we get that feeling, we want self-healing’ or something like that.

This week we discuss how we look after ourselves. Or at least, how we try to. It doesn't always go to plan. But one thing's for sure, Susie can nap absolutely anywhere.

Today’s guest is Amy A. O’Day, founder of The Reconnected Self and creator of a method she calls Compassionate Self-Healing.

After spending decades living with chronic illness, multiple diagnoses, ongoing fatigue, autoimmune conditions, hormonal issues, sensitivities, and a long list of health challenges, Amy began exploring the connection between emotional patterns, subconscious beliefs, and physical wellbeing. Through that work, she says she was able to restore her own health and went on to develop her approach to emotional healing.

Amy’s work looks at the idea that experiences from the past, unresolved emotions, and deeply held beliefs can shape the way we feel physically and emotionally in the present—showing up as stress, anxiety, burnout, chronic symptoms, and a whole host of other issues.

We talk to Amy about her journey through illness and recovery, the origins of The Reconnected Self, the relationship between mind and body, and how our internal world can influence the way we experience health.

Check out her website for more info and access to two free courses she offers as a starting point.

Season Six, Episode One

Back once again for the renegade master LTO is back in the house and in your ears!!!

And today, we’re regressing - back to our childhood TV shows.

From Willo the Wisp to Dogtanian to Byker Grove we’ve chat about some of our top shows form the 80’s and 90’s and what a bad boy in leather jacket did for us. 

Ooo errr missus!

And of course there are sketches…but these sketches…well, just you wait….

Our guest for the episode is Harriet Kershaw, one of the UK’s leading voice actors.

Harriet is a highly versatile performer working across animation, audiobooks, narration, video games, commercials, and audio drama. She is known for her work on major titles including Baldur’s Gate 3 and Assassin’s Creed, as well as beloved franchises like Fireman Sam and Thomas & Friends. She is also currently lending her voice to the audiobook world of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for Audible.

Renowned for her range and character work—from creatures and motion capture performances to richly layered narration—Harriet brings a unique creative depth to every role she takes on.

We talk to Harriet about her journey from dreaming of running a National Trust gift shop as a child, to exploring burlesque, to becoming one of the country’s premier voice artists. We also dive into creativity, the level of input she has in shaping her characters, and her experience working in motion capture.

Season 5 : Episode 9

It's the last episode of the current season and what a season it's been! Thank you for being here with us. We'd love to see you at one of our LIVE SHOWS in the Autumn. Ooh exciting! Details of our live gigs are in our latest newsletter - SIGN UP to get it straight in your inbox. You can book tickets for our performance at the Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival HERE!

Season 5, Episode 9 has one hell of a set list. The headliner is FELIX MACKENZIE-BARROW from the band, DIVORCE. You may well have heard Divorce championed on BBC 6 Music, or playing live on Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 2 show, or introduced by Clara Amfo & Lauren Laverne on BBC 2 at GLASTONBURY. Or seen them support Mumford & Sons; Everything Everything; Bombay Bicycle Club or The Vaccines. Basically, they're smashing it! 

Formed in 2021, Divorce have quickly carved out a name for themselves with their sharp, emotionally intelligent songwriting and unmistakable sound. We talk to Felix about the joy of songwriting, how he started out as an actor, what life is really like on tour, and how he’s learned to face his fears and move through them. Also what it's like to perform in front of thousands of people. Felix is open, thoughtful and funny and it was a delight to chat to him IN PERSON! Yes, our first interview in the actual same room as our guest, and indeed, as each other. 

With two new block-rocking comedy sketches, and a band-related chat that will have you wishing you still had a walkman and those little foam covered headphones, it's a supersonic send off for Season 5.

Now you've done that, we can carry on.

Name that soap theme tune...dum-tee-dum-tee-dum-tee-dum! 

This week's guest LUCY SPEED plays talented farm manager, Stella Pryor in BBC Radio 4's THE ARCHERS - the world's longest running (and best - not biased at all here 😉) soap. 

Lucy's career spans theatre, television, film and radio, and began when she was just a child. Lucy has played a multitude of roles across so many genres including DS Stevie Moss in The Bill and Bec Baker—Peter Kay’s wife—in his BBC sitcom Cradle to the Grave as well as countless other fantastic characters in a career that demonstrates her great versatility. 

She brings a blend of warmth, wit, and emotional intelligence to every role she plays, and—as you’ll hear—she’s deeply thoughtful about the human experience behind the craft.

In this conversation, Lucy opens up about what it was like working with the legendary Julie Walters, how being an empath has shaped her both personally and professionally, and her hopes for leaving a legacy that changes the way we understand and respond to bullying in everyday life.

This ep also features two soap-related sketches for your entertainment, and a soapy chat which includes what might be the next iconic characters to prop up the bar in The Bull in Ambridge!

Hallo! Before we begin, please FOLLOW Limited Time Only on your chosen podcast app - it's a little thing that makes a huge difference to us. Thank you! We love you.

Esther loves lounging with a broadsheet on the weekend. Susie can't remember the last time she read a newspaper that wasn't left by someone else on the tube. So to make Susie feel better about her lack of lounging and perusal of long-form articles, Esther asks her 10 questions Stephanie Beacham was asked in one of said broadsheets. Let no one say we are not highbrow.

You can play along - let us know your answers!

Hope you enjoy this week's mini episode. And please do sign up to be in the LTO Community - it's purely an infrequent newsletter of manageable length, and the chance to suggest future LTO BRIEF topics. Huzzah!

Next week: we're joined by the brilliant and versatile actress, LUCY SPEED. A familiar face on our screens since she was just a nipper, Lucy can turn her hand to any role. Well-known for playing Natalie in Eastenders, she is now a firm fixture in another iconic British soap, BBC Radio 4's THE ARCHERS in which she plays no-nonsense farm manager, Stella Pryor. Our chat with Lucy is expansive, entertaining and inspiring. We're sure you're going to love listening to her. See you then!

Season 5, Episode 7 of the International Women's Podcast Award-winning Podcast - (how many times is it ok to say the word podcast in one sentence?! )

When Susie's banging on about signing up to our newsletter, just click here and she'll stop....

SIGN UP HERE!

(You know she'll never stop, right?!)

Joyful episode 7 is a celebration of the theatre. 

Our guest is LIZ WHITE, one of the UK’s most compelling and versatile actresses, currently starring in the Olivier award-winning National Theatre production of DEAR ENGLAND.

Liz rose to prominence in the iconic BBC drama Life on Mars, and has since captivated audiences with her roles in Ackley Bridge, The Woman in Black, Our Zoo, Call the Midwife, and Unforgotten—among many others. A seasoned performer across television, film, and theatre, Liz brings emotional intelligence and authenticity to every role.

We talk to Liz about her love of independent film, her enduring passion for the work, and how having the courage to create her own opportunities early on proved to be a transformative moment in her career. It's a treat of a conversation and we're thrilled she could join us before heading to the National Theatre for a performance of Dear England.

Also in this ep, there are matinee and evening sketches and a welcome return of A QUIZ. So dust off your copy of the Complete Works of Shakespeare, do your vocal and physical warm-ups and let's raise the curtain! Enjoy!

Hallo! Before we begin, please FOLLOW Limited Time Only on your chosen podcast app - it's a little thing that makes a huge difference to us. Thank you! We love you.

This week's Brief episode is a little different - rather than chatting about a topic suggested by a lovely listener, we're celebrating our success at the International Women's Podcast Awards (still can't quite believe it!) and telling you all about what happened when we won an IPWA in the category of Comedy. Huge thank you to the IWPA team and to BBC Sounds for supporting our category. Also to the team at Apple Podcasts.

You'll hear some audio from the night - recorded inside the iconic Radio Theatre at BBC Broadcasting House. So bear with if that bit is a little fuzzier than our usual chat - it was recorded on a phone and it's only short (and a lot of fun!)

Hope you enjoy this week's mini episode. And please do sign up to be in the LTO Community - it's purely an infrequent newsletter of manageable length, and the chance to suggest future LTO BRIEF topics. Huzzah!

Next week: we're joined by the fantastic actress, LIZ WHITE who is currently appearing in the National Theatre production of Dear England. You'll have seen her being brilliant in so many TV shows such as Life on Mars, Ackley Bridge, and Call the Midwife to name but a few, and films including The Woman in Black, and Wild Bill. It's a great conversation - we can't wait for you to hear it!
