Simon & Lorra

Husband & Wife Sentenced to Life

Society EN ↓ 223 episodes

We are Simon & Lorra. A married couple. Mum & Dad to three kids... One in his 20s, one at uni, one fast approaching her teens. We love each other to bits but we also realise that we want to kill each other a lot. One day that quote will probably be used against one of us in a court of law. Each episode, we'll chat about our marriage, love life, kids, London, relationships, anything relevant in the news and we'll recommend anything we've seen, played, read or listened to.

#HAWSTL 136 - Coffee Shop No-Nos 20.02.2023

Hello! We recorded ep136 of ‘Husband & Wife Sentenced to Life’ whilst suffering mild exhaustion. It’d been a long day.  When we got on to the subject of coffee shop annoyances, we discussed when the word ‘barista’ became a thing. We think it was around the same time as ‘mixologist’.

Hello lovebirds (or not)! Hot on the heels of yesterday's episode, we wanted to acknowledge VD... Valentine's Day. Love it or hate it, it's a thing.

#HAWSTL 129 - Tights 31.01.2023

Hello! This pod should've gone out over the weekend but as you'll hear, we had a discussion/talk/blazing-argument (delete as applicable) an ran out of time.

With a bit of real-life prea...
