We have taken on board feedback from a lot of you this week as you've been asking for less info and more of our early lockdown rambles. Needless to say, we were more than happy to oblige - we all know by now how much we love to chatter on. So, if you'…

Hey guys! We hope you are all doing well. As we've now began lockdown 2 (who'd have thought we'd start numbering these occasions?!), we thought we'd have a bit of a look back on Lockdown 1 to reflect on the crazy time we been through so far. We found looking back, the podcast has really been a reflection of real life. We started out with the hope o…

Hi Guys! Well... Here is week goodness-knows-what of the podcast. We've had a little break from recording these over the last couple of months as we looked at what we wanted to get out of doing this podcast for you all. We felt like the chatter of what we were doing throughout lockdown was becoming a little outdated as things have started to get ba…

Week 6 of the podcast is here ☺️! This week, we are discussing the (very slight) relaxation to isolation rules and progress towards our #260 challenge. In the usual TV review there's a magician, meth head, tiger tamer, country singer, gay polygamist, presidential candidate and convict - and that's just one character!

Week 5 of the podcast is here! ☺️ Hoping this isolation doesn't last much longer as there's only so much more Avengers talk I can take🤣. No guests on this week so you're stuck with the two of us for a full episode - we're talking TV reviews, talent shows and fundraising challenges as well as the much anticipated 'game of the week, game of the week,…

Week 4 of the podcast is here - where is the time going? Thanks so much everyone that is listening each week, it's certainly helping to keep us both sane and we hope it is helping some of you too.

Sooo, yeh, we had to take out a lot of ou…

Here at Groundwork we are, like many others, getting to grips with this whole working from home malarchi! With 90% of our work being face-to-face, we wanted to think of a new way to engage with you all. Sooo, we decided to record a '5 minute' (😂) podcast just to say hi. 2 hours of laughing later, this is what we could pull from the edit. We hope yo…
