Do you share your takeaway, not full-on Smithy level, but Thom admits she’s not sharing her gyozas, while Dunn’s a bit more generous… or does it depend what you’ve ordered?

Be honest now, did you share the kids’ Easter chocolate… or just “help them out” a little too much?

We get into the world of Vinted, what on earth is acceptable packaging, and when does it just become just wrong?!

Plus, what do you do when you’ve only got one loo in the house and your teenager’s in there with their phone like they’ve moved in permanently.

We also play a round of Break A Take and share the little things people have done this week that made us question... life as we get older

And Dr Dunn has discovered a spray to stop that “over 40s” smell… apparently it’s a thing, which is slightly concerning for both of us.

We're back in shag manor and there is no podcast barker  - all is quiet... well, there is a burp or two

We do try to include a “serious” segment in our episodes — it just doesn’t always stay serious for very long. We’re not here to make life miserable; we’re here to spark a bit of thought, without taking ourselves too seriously.

We might not have a big platform, but we’re here to make you laugh, cringe, think, and most importantly, relate. So wherever you are, just keep listening.

In this episode:

Oh… and there’s an unexpected appearance from a bottle of Pepsi Max and a touch of acid reflux for good measure. and sohhhhh much more

We’re back! with our second attempt with our new equipment, so all being well our voices should be a little more crisp and clear… aside from the occasional interruption from the Podcast Barker 🐶.

We’re hoping to be recording again soon from the legendary Shag Manor, but for now this episode has a bit of everything.

Thom stumbled across a very interesting purchase while searching for tights, while Dunn brings along some facts, and you can understand what she means this time!

We chat about all the things we probably shouldn’t, including why women might need something called a “Snail Nap”… apparently they can sleep for three years. Sounds appealing.

We also discover that whales are a bit gross, small children aren’t much better, and frankly… teachers deserve medals.

Our Dick of the Week goes to a certain man in politics who suggested changing International Women’s Day, and Thom has a few choice words about why that definitely isn’t happening.

Halfway through recording, Thom suddenly realises we haven’t actually recorded the video for most of the podcast… brilliant start. We also wander into a chat about Ozempic and the unexpected benefits the US is seeing.

Meanwhile, we’ve come up with an anagram for FACEBOOK and Thom launches in, whilst Dunn suggests Plant Bingo (and no, it’s not the kind where you win a palm tree at Mecca), She’s also starting to lose herself in solitaire where reading could be more beneficial

So tuck in, grab a beer, and give it a listen, or listen when you’re on a walk, driving, or wandering around the supermarket…We dare you.

We’re back, and somehow what started as absolutely nothing turned into a full blown game. Proof, if it were ever needed, that mentally we’re still somewhere around Year 9.

This week we’re asking:

What’s one thing you didn’t try until you were older? Curry

Thank you for the love on our Instagram lately, the views have jumped and we see you. Keep following us on socials @ReinitinwithThomandDunn or email us at [email protected] with your answers, opinions or general outrage, no… not at us!

As always, mildly educational, slightly unhinged, and absolutely unnecessary. Just how we like it.

How old are we, really?

We tackle the age-old debate of kebab before you drink, and yes, we’ve decided it’s actually the superior option. There are many reasons for this. Kebabee breath being just one, which leads us neatly into a story of its own.

Thom is increasingly concerned that dry robes are replacing Crocs. Especially when worn by people who have never seen the business end of a lake. Ever. It’s giving strong karate family popping into Asda after class energy.

We dive into a women’s magazine, fuelled by questionable brainwaves from a bloke! Plus ideas from a Mary who will never receive an Amazon parcel. Ever. We workshop how she could improve her letterbox with a bit of fabric and optimism. We also apologise in advance for the podcast barker moment where Thom shouted at an Amazon driver to “MOVE ON”. She didn’t. But she absolutely wanted to.

We touch on the media's obsession with the Beckhams and why being women in our 50s might have a slightly different take than the rest of the internet.

There’s also a weekly check-in:

We discuss what Dunn would put on her CV as a strength.  Why you should never trust a wet fart, and how it’s not a personal failure, it’s biology.

Sprinkled throughout are some Dr Dunn and Dr Thom facts, because, obviously.

Enjoy. Head on over. Dive in.

We’re in Staithes for our first recording of 2026, joined by Sarah and baby Lydia (aka Linda), and honestly… it goes exactly how you’d expect.

We kick off with a WIDL, some absolute surprises in there, and a few you’ll definitely start using yourself.

Then we hit Clump of Mash (why does no one understand this?) and immediately descend into laughter, including a strong detour into dingleberries, because of course we do.

What BMP comes up, and let’s just say… one of the opinions might be a touch harsh! 

Dr Dunn has clearly been “researching” again and drops the bombshell that platypuses create custard. Yes, really. Followed by some oozing facts you may wish you’d never heard.

Sarah takes us down a road involving nipples, pulling things you shouldn’t, and accidentally inventing a dog rescue contraption. It spirals. Naturally.

We ask the question: What would you do if you were invisible?

We’ve also invented a new Cornish pasty for Greggs.

Amongst the absolute nonsense, we do manage to touch on some serious stuff too, but mostly it’s laughter, friendship, and pure off-the-rails energy.

You can absolutely tell why we’re all friends.

BONUS: Sounds We Don’t Like (Horror Edition)

* The Drop of a poo

* Air raid siren

* Thrutching

* Something being sick

Enjoy the ride… and maybe, best to, listen with headphones 😘

We’re officially 2 years old, and it’s nearly Christmas — and as we all know, Thom is not a fan. She breaks down her festive loves (there are a few) and her loathes… including the annual tradition of her sitting on a pouffe while the rest of the family lounges on her comfy sofa. Pure joy.

Dr Dunn has taken a deep dive into adult soft-play centres and whatever on earth new mums are banging that drum ON!

We also ask the big questions, like: do YOU know what a doodlesack is?

We also cover Purdy & Figg, bloody influencers, and our Blasts from the Past. Spangles, anyone?

It’s our final episode of 2025, so dig in, ears open, and get ready for a laugh or two… or three… or four.

Episode Fifty. Half a century of chat. Thank you for following, listening and sticking with us. Two years on, and we finally feel like we know what we are doing. Sort of.

We dip into Celeb Jungle this week. Plenty of fun and giggles and, gibsville moments aside, it is actually quite warming. Nice people together. Something we all seem to need right now.

We also ask the big life questions. Would you wear a tabard? And if not, what about Sketchers? Or tracky bottoms. Or the classic polo shirt. Fashion aspects Thom says NO to

You will also discover something genuinely fascinating about Lemur monkeys. Dunn is convinced she might come back as one. They are only open to the public... at certain times of the year. If at all.

We talk about the joy of a daily sentence and the comfort of podcasts that are relatable. You know. Like ours.

We have a new segment called Blast from the Past, and we go full Cagney and Lacey.

You will also find out what a parasocial relationship is. Plus, we dive into naff buys and the horror of walking through someone else’s cloud of bad breath.

What more could you want? Jump in and get your ears ready.

Our last episode of 2025 will be out on the eleventh of December.

The dog was a dick from the start. But we’ve realised, after listening to other people’s podcasts (even the famous ones), that everyone seems to have a dickhead dog barking at a leaf or two outside their window. Ours finally settles, Thom finally sits down, and Dunn can at last talk about failure; falling off the pre-diabetic wagon and wondering if blueberries and Greek yoghurt might taste better with a few Celebrations on top. It’s nearly Christmas after all.

Thom’s not feeling festive, though. If only there were a Worzel Gummidge head she could swap to, the one that likes tinsel, bread sauce, and people. We also spiral into a very deep chat about potatoes (naturally), nearly launching a campaign for a potato board with melted cheese. Honestly, who doesn’t love potatoes?

Good news from across the pond, the FDA has finally seen sense and ditched the outdated, fear-mongering black box warning from HRT leaflets. We also debate which one of us would be rocking in the corner and who’d be the stabby one without our HRT.

Dunn tries to get Thom to work both sides of her brain at once, spoiler alert: it doesn’t go well. And if you’re wondering, no, a peri bottle isn’t a bottle of wine for women on their period (though it should be).

Tune in for all the good stuff, the foisty stuff, and our favourite people to follow and watch this week.
