This week we're talking about an emotion that gets most of us into bother at one time or another. We're trying to work out why anger gets such a bad press and whether it might be more useful than we think it is.

Martin also tries to convince me that The Sex Pistols were tuneful which, frankly, made me angry.

This week we're talking about how Martin's recent visit to hospital resulted in him being followed around by ghosts from the past.

There's also a timely reminder to be careful when warming your feet in front of a wood-burning stove.

This week, as Martin recovers from a medical procedure, I kindly set him some homework he could do from his sickbed. I asked him to watch a documentary about cricket so that we could discuss the ways in which we respond to high pressure.

Martin mostly remembered times that he was in the world's cricketing hotspots looking for cheap rum and anxious about how far he was from the nearest bar.

When pressure leads us to destructive behaviour, we have to find another way.

This week we're talking about the difficulties faced by the recovering alcoholic when invited to a wedding. 

We also hear a story which usurps the one Martin told us in the "Uncle Geoff" episode about missing your own wedding because you've drunk too much.

If that weren't enough there's a rendition of a Taylor Swift classic which, although not strictly about a wedding, is about love, so stop complaining.

This week we're discussing a film in which Denzil Washington plays an addict and a pilot, two things which don't go together well. There are predictably catastrophic consequences.

We'll also hear about a mishap Martin had at work which is still making me laugh whenever I think about it.

In this week's episode, we're talking about TV, celebrity crushes, binge alcoholism, haircuts, and how we think we would have fared in the 1980s if we'd been deprived of visiting the pub.

This week, we're talking about a subject most of us don't want to think about, even though facing it is the only way to get through it.

One of the ways we try to block it out is with drink or drugs, but that just makes everything worse.

Perhaps there's a better way.

This week we're getting around a table to bounce ideas around and running ideas up flagpoles to see who salutes them.

We're asking if cliches have a value and whether they can sometimes stop us from getting our point across successfully.

I find another way to shoehorn a conversation about Martin's hair into the episode.

In this week's episode we're talking about the roles we play and the ways in which we define ourselves.

We're asking one another how we'd like to be remembered and trying to work out why "Technical Ecstasy" is not amongst the most popular Black Sabbath albums.

There's also a guided relaxation at the end of the episode so, if you're driving while listening please pause the recording before the exercise begins and pick it up again when you are safe and comfortable and in a position to relax properly.

PLEASE DO NOT listen to the relaxation audio whilst driving or operating heavy machinery (that includes hair clippers, Martin).

In this week's episode, we're talking about why on earth we allow ourselves to get stuck in relationships that are not only dissatisfying but which actually do us harm.

We're also talking about "love bombing", co-dependency and limerance.

Martin appears to have created some sultry lighting to fit the mood but it just comes off a bit ghostly.
