It's Chriiiiiistmaaaaas! Agaaaaaain!  Every year Susie & Esther wonder how on earth it can be Christmas again. But it makes no difference - it just keeps happening! The gals have been a bit quiet since the summer, working on other projects but they'll be back in 2025 with Season FIVE! And some LTO LIVE SHOWS! But for now, they offer you a Christmas gift of a mini episode. Featuring a chat, a s...

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 special guest is multi award winning British comedia...

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. They also cover their incredibly pale legs, arms and pretty much every other bit of their bodies to avoid blistering... This week's special guest is actor, director, mentor, and award-winning motion capture legend, Neil Newbon . Starting out...

Soul Searching - As the great Bryan Adams once sang 'Search your heart, search your soul...' (a song featured in the greatest film of all time according to Susie) and this week, the gals are encouraging you to do the same.  Their special guest is the fabulous LINDSAY MACK. Hailed as “one of the most important new voices in the world of modern spirituality and wellness,” Lindsay Mack is a queer, no...

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 Saxon. Starting out as an actress, an unexpect...

Episode 2 of this season is utterly brilliant - funny, moving and insightful featuring surprising stories & touching honesty, with a superb guest and a hilarious sketch. Strong recommend... Well, this ep is all about CHAMPIONING! Where better to start than with our own podcast?! But we don't just big up ourselves this week, we also asked you for your champions and got some beautiful responses....

LTO is back for Season 4! Everybody's Changing and Susie & Esther don't feel the same... At the end of the last season, they thought, we Can't Stop Now ! If only they don't Bend & Break , with Perfect Symmetry , they could create Somewhere Only We Know for a very special first episode of the new season. Featuring Jesse Quin from the band, KEANE! Jesse is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, pr...

We stand at the end of Season 3 (for an ovation, right?!) This week's episode is all about being your best self and whatever that means to you - one gal's seaswim is another gal's sticky toffee pudding and a good book. Esther & Susie discuss themselves (for a change...) and Susie reveals some worrying gaps in her knowledge of how bodies actually work. To help them in their quest for best self-...

Esther and Susie go Back to the Future and get high on 80s nostalgia in this week's episode of LTO. There are no Careless Whispers as these Uptown Girls try Holding Back the Years, and Relax with memories of the decade that gave us Roland Rat, Wacaday and Agadoo. Let's travel back in time Together In Electric Dreams. Lovely jubbly. The gals are joined this week by a very special guest. Singer song...

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 this week. Namely, musician Sam Sweeney. Sam has...

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes discussions about death and grief. This week Susie & Esther turn their attention to mortality. They discuss attitudes to death and mourning, and spend considerable time imagining the spectacular nature of their own funerals. Let's hope the Royal Albert Hall is available on the day... The special guest is SARAH GWONYOMA. You may know Sarah from her Instagr...

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 this. Susie and Esther recreate DESERT ISLAND DISCS...

Cue the fireworks! That bit between Christmas and New Year is a time for munching through all the festive chocs while watching films you've seen 100 times before; considering jogging and deciding against it; and, the new tradition, listening to your favourite podcast - LIMITED TIME ONLY! Esther and Susie are stuffed to the gills on liquorice and turkey but thankfully haven't lost the ability to na...

It's Chriiiiiiiistmaaaaaas! And it's the inaugural LTO Christmas Special! Featuring a Christmas chat; a Christmas quiz; FOUR Christmas sketches; two giddy hosts; one amazing guest; and a partridge in a pear tree. Joining Esther and Susie for the Christmas Special is actress and comedian, Janice Connolly. Janice is a familiar face on television as Holy Mary in Phoenix Nights  with Peter Kay; Rosie...

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! Australia-based British casting director, producer an...

It's nearly winter and the hedgehogs are heading into hibernation, while the humans are heading into overdrive. In Episode 2 of Season Three, Esther and Susie explore the threat of burning out - a hot topic at the moment (see what we did there?!) This week's special guest is Hannah Miller - a Strengths-Based Coach who returns to LTO for the second time! (Susie and Esther are thrilled they didn't s...

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. You may well be inspired to buy a planner and floss your teeth. And possibly do a press-up. In a twist of f...

Guess who's back..back..back? Back again...gain...gain? LTO's back! Tell your friends... Yes, Esther and Susie are back for Season 3 of Limited Time Only - the podcast for anyone who feels there aren't enough hours in their life. Every two weeks they'll bring to your ears a mix of chat, comedy sketches, and interviews with interesting people. The guest for episode 1 of the new season is none other...

As if to remind Susie & Esther why they called the podcast Limited Time Only, the final episode of the season has come around already. And to reinforce the point, the episode is all about the 1990s - a marvellous decade which began just a few  years ago, right?! 32 years ago to be precise. Excuse us while we cry into our Hooch. All is not lost, however, as Susie & Esther discover solace as...

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. But Esther's husband Ian puts them both to shame with a weekly 70 mile round trip on his bike (or has he just gone to the cinema?). Sharing top tips tête à tête, the gals go a bit French, breathe excessively and discover tha...

(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. They admit to many failings of will power, stamina and general being-botheredness when it comes to keeping fit. And they make some bold promises to do fitness better. Or...
