Limited Time Only - Chat, Comedy & Interviews episodes

July 15, 2021 Episode 5 - Time for...Parenthood feat. Paul Ready (Motherland)
Featuring Paul Ready aka Motherland's 'Kevin'
NB: Some swear words appear in this episode. We blame the parents.
This week, Esther & Susie enjoy moaning about / robustly discussing parenthood. They mull over the physical, emotional and mental punishment inflicted on parents by their tiny bosses / children. And of course, how lovely they are. No topic is off limits as our hosts relive their finest parenting moments. Strap yourselves in - parenthood is always a bumpy ride.
Special guest this week is actor Paul Ready. A star of theatre, film, radio and television, Paul is best known for playing Rob Macdonald in Jed Mercurio's Bodyguard, Harry Goodsir in The Terror and Kevin in hit BBC comedy, Motherland. He is also a dad. With the help of some cracking audience questions, Susie & Esther chat to Paul about parenting, school plays and of course, Motherland. Paul is a super guest - enjoy!
Sketches, a You Bash, and the sharing of your (the Limited Time Only audience's) funniest parenting stories complete episode 5. Thank you for listening.

July 07, 2021 Episode 4 - Time for...Tooting Your Own Horn
Heads up: this episode contains a few s-bombs.
This week Esther & Susie have had enough of being modest, self-deprecating and timid. They are giving their horns a good old toot instead. And they're encouraging you to have a toot too.
With discussions covering middle class urine sample solutions, imposter syndrome and the Oscars, our hosts explore what it is that makes some people so down on bigging themselves up (and wonder whether airline pilots ever have a mid-flight confidence wobble).
Wouldn’t we all love to know what our purpose is? What our strengths are and how to identify them? This episode's guest knows exactly how to help find the answers to those questions. Hannah Miller is a career coach, inspirational speaker and the founding director of Sidekick
Hannah tells us how once you know what your strengths are you can understand them, lean into them and become the hero of your own story. You can find Hannah @hannahloumiller on all platforms.
As well as all this (toot), there's also a You Bash, a visit to a familiar intimidating leather chair and some glorious horn blowing from the Limited Time Only audience. Thank you for listening.

June 30, 2021 Episode 3 - Time for...A Bit of Zen
Caution: This week's episode contains 3 naughty swears
In Episode 3, Esther & Susie discuss stress and how they deal with it. As well as strategies such as eating lots of crisps, they come up with helpful suggestions too. Exploring CBT, yoga, mindfulness, and avoiding social media, our hosts discover that it is possible to get to 9am without wanting to kill someone.
Special guest of the week is Sue Hawkins, mindfulness meditation teacher, and utterly lovely human. Sue explains what mindfulness is, the benefits it offers, and how we can fit it in to our busy lives. During her interview she led Susie & Esther on a mindfulness meditation which is available as a separate mini-episode - Time for...a mindfulness meditation. Once you've heard the effect it had on S&E, you'll be racing to download it. Sue Hawkins is on Instagram @mindful_sue and has a Facebook group Let's Get Mindful
A smattering of comedy sketches and a surprising quiz round off Episode 3. Susie & Esther hope that once you've heard it, you will float through the rest of your day in a happy haze of mindful calm. Alternatively, you'll consume a massive bag of Wotsits. Either way, stress-free living, here we come.

June 23, 2021 Episode 2 - Time for...Mindless Scrolling
This week, Esther & Susie discuss the perils and merits of social media (aka SM; Social; the rabbit hole you get sucked into when you should be doing something useful). They can't quite decide if they like their phones or not although they are great for listening to podcasts so let's not all chuck them out just yet.
Always up for a challenge, our hosts undertook / suffered a Social Media Abstinence for an entire week. They recorded their progress / pain. Listen out for the matching Big Brother impressions.
Here to help Susie & Esther cope better with modern technology is their wonderful guest, Hannah Hassack. Hannah is a social media genie who believes that social media is about human connection, not numbers, and that a holistic, personalised approach is how businesses and individuals alike can really get the best out of it. For more information, you can find Hannah on Instagram @HannahRuthSocial

June 16, 2021 Episode 1 - Time For...Getting On A Bit
We join Esther and Susie, who are getting on a bit. They explore what most worries / excites them about this unavoidable fact of life. They play the inaugural, best, and possibly final round of the quiz, 'How Old?' where Esther shows off her uncanny ability to recall the birthdays of absolutely everyone. You can also expect a light smattering of comedy sketches.

Their honoured guest is Melanie Hamilton. Aged 57, Melanie resigned from her job as a secretary to follow her lifelong dream of being a professional actress. She'd taken another leap in her 40s - upping sticks with her family and moving to France where they lived happily for several years. Melanie's inspiring story illustrates how 'getting older...can galvanise you to action'.
