Society EN ↓ 64 episodes

With over 35 years of friendship, four marriages, two divorces and three children between them, there is pretty much no subject that these two have left untouched.  In fact, it is a miracle that these two have not run out of things to say.   A regular weekly three-hour walk with lots of ‘chit and chat’ led to the birth of their Chitty Chat podcast.  Loaded with enthusiasm and fun, each week Emma and Bobo pick a subject for a deep dive, a few tangents, with lots of wisdom and laughter along the way.
