1:42:04

We've reached the final episode of Season 4! Can you believe it?! But in THIS final, we're all winners. Susie & Esther discuss comedy - with a natter about what makes them laugh. And a few fart jokes. They may appear to be intelligent, mature and sophisticated (ahem) but they love a dollop of good old toilet humour. And rude words. This ep's specia…

1:19:56

It's summertime! Or so we're led to believe. Susie & Esther swap summer tips, and also cover sunburn, tanning and why everything sounds better in the sun.

2M ago1:23:35

1:23:35

Games! A word that strikes fear into some, and absolute glee into others. This week Susie & Esther are discussing all things games and gaming. Board, card or ball - you name it, it might have been mentioned. Maybe put a bet on it (although we don't condone gambling...). The gaming theme continues with this week's very special guest - director Kate …

1:30:59

We stand at the end of Season 3 (for an ovation, right?!)

6M ago1:50:50

1:50:50

In this week's episode Esther & Susie showcase talents even they didn't know they had. And they probably don't. Let's just say, Eminem does NOT need to worry... They discuss talent v success, and if baby is born with it or if it's maybe-learnt. Again, Eminem does not need to worry! Thankfully someone with a tangible talent is their special guest th…

1:44:06

The radio accompanies us through our lives. Helping to define our eras; dragging us out of bed on a Monday morning; helping us through long drives; and becoming almost family! We grow up with our favourite radio DJs, following them as they move stations. And we jump around the dial depending on our mood. This week’s episode is dedicated to all of t…

1:08:39

What's the point? is a common refrain in Susie & Esther's households. They explain the various reasons why. And they're probably even weirder than you think. During the course of the conversation, Susie learns something. Everyday's a school day when chatting to Esther. They both learn lots while speaking to their first INTERNATIONAL GUEST! Australi…

1:24:58

It's a change of seasons of LTO and the first episode is all about...changing seasons (how on earth did they come up with that?!) Esther & Susie chat stationary, darkness and self-sabotage in a chat that is as silly as you'd expect. With a fair bit of honesty chucked in for good measure.

1:36:24

As if to remind Susie & Esther why they called the podcast Limited Time Only, the final episode of the season has come around already.

All is not lost, howe…

1:35:04

We all have mental health, and this week Susie & Esther chat about their good and bad head days and what they do to nurture their noggins. Stillness helps, as does moving.

1:20:26

(Sung to the tune of Move it, Move it) "They like to move it, move it. If they can have a biscuit" In Episode 5 of Season 2, Susie & Esther talk about physical fitness while staying completely stationary. It's safer that way.

Season Two: Episode 2 - Time for...Jiggly Bits 1:20:18

2y ago1:20:18

1:20:18

This week Susie & Esther shove their inhibitions aside, and chat jiggly bits.
