This week we’re talking about what happens when you don’t or can’t seem to limit the empathy you feel for others. We discuss, where it originates, why it can be a problem and what you can do about it.

We share our fond memories of Shane MacGowan, debate the connection between creativity and alcohol, hear about some horrifying places where spiders laid their eggs, and I get a bit worked up about weather forecasters.

This week we’re talking about why we sometimes find it hard to celebrate other people’s success and how helpful it is to do so.

We wonder how God feels about hot drinks in church, discover the names of two Osmond siblings we didn't know existed, reminisce about Martin’s affection for chocolate buttons, and we select our favourite poems.

This week, after our discussion last time about scarcity mindset, we're balancing things out with some thoughts about why an abundance mindset is far preferable.

In addition, we discuss the art of telling jokes, "big up" the value of freezers and leaf blowers, and there's exciting news for anyone saddened by the demise of the "Caramac" bar.

This week we're talking about the negative impacts of worrying that you won't have enough, regardless of whether you're right or not.

Martin waxes lyrical about prescription apps, and I extol the virtues of a squirrel.

This week we're talking about the physical, emotional and mental benefits of listening to classical music.

Martin tells us about a surprising and inappropriate donation to a charity shop,  and we discuss canoeing,  and growing up in a house without central heating. I then erroneously ascribe "The Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra" before knocking one out of the park in the weekly quiz.

This week, having recently spoken about anxiety, an emotion that lives in the future, we're turning our attention to the ways we become burdened by the past.

I can't recall any famous hijacks, we pay tribute to Matthew Perry, who we focused on in one of our very early episodes, and we talk rituals and wet shaving.

This week we're talking about some of the reasons alcohol is treated differently in society from other drugs.

I get antsy about technology updates, Martin has news about "Tree Of The Year", we discover we know very little about communion wine, and debate the value of parallel parking.

This week we're talking about how to manage anxiety and the way in which almost everything that works best is counterintuitive.

Martin leaves his dartboard outside, and celebrates a day just for him. We make arrangements for handling a bear attack and ask, "Should apples be stored in the fridge?" (of course not).

This week we're talking about why we find giving and recieving compliments so awkward, what it says about us, and how to change it.

There's squirrel talk, a discussion about whether we all end up dressing our age, some dull exchanges about loose-leaf tea, and a tale about sheep on drugs.

This week, we're talking about all the benefits of being kind to other people, many of which are incredibly powerful for the giver of kindness as much as they are for the receiver.

Martin gives away some chocolate but can't take advantage of a client's similar act of kindness, I enjoy floor coverings, and we have a night in London that culminated in a jog to the station that played havoc with Martin's creaking knees, much to my amusement.
