This week we're talking about expereinces that move you unexpectedly. 

I offer the example of a key change in a James Taylor song that moved me before realising that it doesn’t have a key change in it at all. It was the introduction of the string section at the beginning of the third verse which got me, but it's still a valid example I reckon.

In other news,  Martin is still struggling with Christmas, there are literal hair-raising tales about riding a rollercoaster, and a woman gets a worm in her eyelid.

This vaguely festive episode is our last one of the year, so we’d also like to take this opportunity to thank you for listening and wish you a happy and peaceful festive season whether you’re observing Christmas or not.

This week, we're discussing an effective antidote to anything that triggers feelings of anxiety, stress, overwhelm or sadness.

Martin suggests some world records we can have a crack at, and there's some hygiene talk that involves dangerous soap and whether it's right to multitask whilst taking a shower.

This week we're talking about the way the shift in seasons and the changing of the clocks is a point in the year when many of us find our emotional resilience severely tested.

In other news, a bold double bluff doesn't work out, there are alarming developments on the toothpaste front, and we present a gratitude sandwich.

This week we're talking about the tendency to explain too much, a habit that emerges from insecurity in the explainer and often has little to do with the target of the explanation.

A plane is grounded as a result of flatulence, there's a squirrel on wheels, Martin frightens small children, and we debate the wisdom of letting a delivery driver use your toilet.

This week we're talking about an effective way of keeping yourself on track or reducing feelings of overwhelm when you're facing practical and/or emotional challenges.

We also feel grateful for seasonal joy and being fed. 

There's some other nonsense too but I can't remember what it was about and I have a client in 10 minutes so I don't have time to check, and I've just realised that I haven't been including the normal intro with birdsong and all that paraphernalia. I'll do better next time.

Also, here's a link to the type of video we mention in relation to body doubling on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ex_bNIFR1A

We're back!

This week, we're having a conversation about 'shunishment' which might be a word you've never heard of that describes manipulative and controlling behaviour in a relationship.

There's a new quiz, we're both surprisingly grateful for getting older, and some monkeys display questionable behaviour involving fermented fruit.

This week we're discussing the red flags you might come across when you work with a sponsor in one of the fellowships and what you can do about it if it happens.

This week, we're talking about why curiosity is important and how we, sometimes inadvertently, prevent ourselves from exercising it.

We hear about famous people carved from vegetables, and a man gives police an unwelcome gift when they put him under arrest.

This week, we're talking about how we forget most of what we learn and consider  ways of improving retention.

Some friends, having messed with hallucinogens, mistakenly believe their companion to have died, and an elephant pops into a shop for some snacks.

This week, we're talking about how we get in our own way by making things too complicated and failing to establish helpful strategies for getting stuff done.

I nearly burn myself alive with a BBQ, we ponder on what might make it worth being airlifted off a mountain (twice), and we're grateful for the same thing for different reasons.
