In this week's episode, we are talking about a celebrity whose star shone particularly brightly in the '90s but whose fall from grace was equally noteworthy.

We ask ourselves if it might sometimes be the case that having it all makes staying balanced even harder.

We're also talking hair. Martin has too much of it, and we're remembering times when people's hair got them into a tight spot.

In this week's episode, the first in season 2, we're discussing the benefit of being able to go back in time and fix the things that we feel went wrong earlier in our lives. We try and work out if it would be helpful or even desirable to do so.

Martin chooses his favourite Dr Who and I surprise him with my fondness for something popular.

This week we're talking about how good we can become at telling ourselves everything is going to be an absolute disaster, even though we're frequently wrong. We're also debunking the myth that expecting the worse when hoping for the best is anything other than a deeply flawed strategy that guarantees suffering. 

If that weren't enough Martin reminds us how important it is to close the kitchen drawers after we've got out what we wanted.

We've been doing this for half a year now. Who'd have thought it?

This week we're off to Portugal, in a virtual sense, and talking about how they tackled the serious problems they had with addiction. We're asking why more countries haven't followed their lead considering the impressive results they've achieved.

Also, I express astonishment at Martin never having come across Pasteis De Nata.

In this week's episode, we are talking about how we pretend that everything is OK even when it most definitely isn't and exploring why we might be so self-destructive.

Martin recalls a time when we were stopped by the police and he thought I was going to land us up in the cells for a night and we even find time to debate whether or not 1970's impressionist Mike Yarwood was actually any good.

In this week's episode we take a trip down memory lane into Martin's childhood and explore the hold his Gran had over him with a box full of cardboard pieces.

We're also debating the difficulty inherent in trying to replicate Black Sabbath album covers onto fondant icing.

This week we're talking about how Martin played "fast and loose" with his recovery in the early days and what buying beer for your pets has to do with buying a warming cup of Bovril at the football.

We'll also unpack the reasons for my not flaming the Christmas pudding last year.

In this special episode, we fill the gap left by the suspension of football across the UK and select our Addicts XI comprising professional players who have struggled with drink, drugs, and gambling. 

Some of them have since turned their lives around and some have sadly lost out to their addictions but they've all given us moments of joy on the way.

This week we're talking about all the things we tell ourselves in order to try and avoid doing what we don't want to do.

This week we're talking about how to maintain good mental health in isolation and the particular difficulties it presents for those in recovery or still in active addiction.

We also talk about the importance of gratitude and find out why Martin thinks it's OK to come onto the podcast with paint all over his spectacles.

To cheer him up, I sing Martin one of his favourite American rock tracks from the 1980's
