This week we're in full lockdown and recording virtually, which accounts for the sometimes sub-standard sound quality. However, like the true professional we are, nothing much stops us.

In this episode, we are reminiscing about Martin's first car, a vehicle we travelled to Reading Rock Festival in armed with nothing more than a large tin of hot dog sausages and a crate of John Smiths bitter, and talking about the importance of looking back at the times we realise that we have achieved something of significance.

Stay safe and healthy everyone.

This week, in an episode recorded before the lockdown, we are reminiscing about the heady days of our past and how it can dangerous to do so when things aren't remembered as being quite as destructive as they were at the time. 

We also discuss Martin's lucky escape from some skinheads and our numerous charity gigs in the mid-1980s, when global pandemics were just the stuff of disaster movies.

Roll back the years, it's time for some nostalgia.

In this week's episode, Martin is watching a lot of daytime TV, apparently in the name of research, and comes up with some interesting information about some addictions you may not have heard about.

In this week's episode we're talking about dreams and what it means if, as a recovering addict, you dream about relapse. Just to continue on our flight of fantasy Martin, not content with the ordinary run of the mill somnambulism, goes one step further and tells us all about it. Wakey wakey everyone.

In this week's episode, we're exploring the role of genetics in addiction. We find out what Martin has in common with the Royals and why he had a habit, just like his uncle, of running away. Strap in for a stroll through Martin's past as I try manfully to distract him from his blessed notes.

This week we're talking about how clinging to unlikely events doesn't make your destructive behaviour any more justifiable. Martin gives us some interesting facts about staying safe from coconuts and we discuss why peer support is so critical for a sustained recovery. There's also some fruit machine chat and we relive the joy of Martin getting soaked waiting for a bus.

This week we're talking about American punk bands I haven't heard of, identifying the four core emotions, and working out why change is sometimes difficult because we have no idea who we'll be once we have changed. On top of that, we'll be talking about why for people in the chaos of addiction the thought of recovery can be terrifying. It's episode 13  but don't be scared, we'll look after you.

In this weeks episode, we get an update on the state of Martin's bruised toes, he tells us all about the research he's been doing into the similarity between addiction and life in a cult, and I try my best to think of some music which is in keeping with the subject matter having inadvertently made a rod for my own back by adding music to last weeks very well-received episode, "Rocket Man".

This week Martin tells us what he has in common with Elton John, what distracted him when attending his gig in the beautiful grounds of Leeds Castle, and we pick our way through the nostalgia of our parent's drinks cabinets. I also sing a song.

This week we're talking about an episode of The Simpsons that I haven't seen. We also talk about what it's like to have a ladies bike, ingenious places that alcoholics hide their drink, and discuss a memorable day when Martin went cross-country to the pub in Frittenden to try and keep away from the police. It's an action-packed bumper episode.
